The texture looks off to me, more like something made in a mold. But I do not get to look at very many 279 oz nuggets so what do I know? Should be a lot more news in the next few days.

I can't imagine any natural process that would create that finish. Creek gold can be smoothed over from the water but this one seems wrong. But like you said not being exposed to any nuggets of that sizewe are just grasping at straws.

I was hoping you guys would help me decide which to buy. I'm attracted to the gpx6000 because of the weight but the gpz has many features totally lacking in the gpx. ....chuckle....This would be my first minelab detector.

After 3 years with a friend's DFX and 4 years with my own Makro Gold Racer, I finally found gold.  

Tried a new spot and a new technique.  I found 63 pieces in 5 days and my buddy found 81 working right next to me with a Gold Monster.

My little VLF can't compete with the big iron, so I needed a new method.  I started digging where the bedrock went under the sand and gravel.  Following the bedrock along, I noted a few small spots of cemented gravel in cracks and holes in the bedrock.  Carefully excavating these gravel patches and detecting as I went let to a wonderful few days.

Just  detecting from the surface has proven to be a waste of my time.

So you are crevasing. Thats been going on out west since the middle 1800's. Nice work

I caN'T MAKE UP MY MIND WHICH ONE TO BUY THE gpx 6000 OR THE gpz 7000. Leaning towards the GPX because its lighter and I'm loaded with extra covid pounds. grrrr....

To those of you that own a GPZ as well do you miss no gps capability or visual readout of signal strength with the GPX?
