On the first day of nugget huntin  my detector gave to me a Cartridge underneath a rotten  tree .

GR

i call one Ladies Leg. and the other golden cucumber .

My Z-link was just delivered and I am now charging it up . I will keep you all  posted  but of course where I live its going to rain for 5 days strait.

I am hoping that it will work well with my 5000 , gold screamer. and killer bee head phones. even if it doesnt work well on that detector it is bound to work with one of my other detectors. the price is reasonable

I seen they are available now on the Garrett website . I ordered one from Metaldetectors.com . Im looking forward to trying this one out and cuttin the cord.

Scott please fill in your dig hole under the tracks. that must have been a big nugget

Great post Chet , Ive been looking to go wireless but I'm a little on the frugal side ,so if you have some spare time and could compare the Garrett z-link  to the  Pro Sonic wm , I will gladly buy you breakfast at Katrina's.

Hi Brian,

I have used both the 12x15 commander and the 17x13 evo and a 9mm slug is the equivalent of a 7.5 gram nugget. Im surprised to hear  there is that much difference in depth between the two coils . maybe a good test would be to swap the coils out using the same detector to eliminate any nuances between different detectors. 

I'm looking forward to getting a Gpz someday. but my 5000 has been very loyal to me and she wouldn't like me cheating with another detector.

paid in full . please send to Steve Herschbach . Merry Christmas Steve!

the gold screamer uses a sony style camcorder battery , NP-F950 or 970 . these batteries are a  replacement that are working great for me. they slide into the same receptacle as the original batteries that come with the gold screamer

Ive been using mine for 5 years  and logged about 4000 hours of use . it has worked flawlessly for me .i never disconnect it and keep all wires in the same location. some friends of mine have had a few broken wire issues but they were always disconnecting the cable from the control box . the newer screamer cover keeps the power cable in a better spot than the older one. on the side verses the bottom.

also i switched to Wasabi batteries from Amazon and have been very satisfied with their performance. 2 batteries and a charger for $59 . that my two bits good luck!

hi Peg, I wish you 4 bits of luck , [ that would be  half that piece of eight] .  see you when you get back to placer county.

I agree thats a great idea I hadn't thought of . I also carry a second detector with me an offer to let the land owner try his hand at detecting and give them a little lesson . I believe if you give you will receive

Ive found hundreds of them and I was sure each  one was a sweet sounding  nugget .. and when I felt the weight hit my hand  I was even more sure it was sweet gold .. and just when I look to find  and pick up my treasure …….I see  lead.. my shoulders drop … I say a few words ..and its off to find the next target  .. … the way things are going they may be quite valuable in the future so don't throw them away.

cheers. greg

You already  have the right coils for ninety percent of the ground you may encounter but if I was you I would add one of the new technology coils  13x17 evo or coiltek 18 elite just because it gives you a slight advantage technologically  especialy on flogged ground.  for that deep nugget . plus it will keep the coil makers in cash to come up with new coils for us to buy!

 good luck ,Greg

I went through a middle aged gold slump crisis a few years ago and  I went to see a therapist. I was told the only way to find gold happiness is to take   a virgin detecting with you and you will find a patch before you know it!.    Im not kidding .. I really met a sweet gal and she goes detecting  with me everywhere.. The gold is nice but the company of detecting with friends is priceless.

best of luck.

Brian ,check out the classifieds on this forum there is a like new MXT PRO . it is in Nevada. I love my MXT .. see you tomorrow.

Im lucky!..  this summit is only 10 miles from me . and the hands on at Gleeson diggings is very educational and a great deal for only 20 bucks . Ive been there before with the motherlode Goldhounds. Had a great day and found some nice gold detecting. 

 Could You or someone else provide names and email addresses to whom we may send objection letters to. 

I will do my part.

I went there last October and I was hoping to find my first Oregon nugget.but hunting came first.... The dredge is a must see, and stop in at the gift shack where a very knowledgeable and friendly  lady  {i can't recall her name]can give you some advise on what areas you might be able to detect on…. there are miles of tailing piles that have given up some large gold that passed through the dredge ,but most is ground there is private or claimed…..north of Sumpter there are deposits of placer glacial gold . most gold is very small in that area.. finally stop by the local real-estate office on the main drag and pick up their flyer and look at claims and mines for sale . with permission from the agent  you may be able to sample some ground as part of your due diligence.. 

good luck

brett do a quick test with a hammer and see if your sample crushes up smaller or gets flatter .gold does not crush

Im going to guess that you found Wyatt Earps sheriff badge or belt buckle  ..way cool

I found this motherlode beauty last weekend . but I have the hardest time taking close up photos of gold . does any one have any advise such as type of light , or camera settings. this one actually looks good .. what you all think.

Holy cow batman .!
