5 Year Old Gpz 7000 Worth It To Buy??
fredmason replied to nugget hunter nz's topic in Minelab Metal Detectors
Klunker I see no reason for you to quality test your detector on innocent snakes....but, your testimony is a powerful recommendation for Gpz quality! If money is not an issue, I would buy new. We have no idea what components have been improved since the first model came out. I repeat, Buyer Beware -

I almost always found nuggets when I wandered away from the groups... I am sure there are plenty of patches and stray nuggets waiting for the willing prospector in Oz. fred

Doug Stone took me there on our way to the N.T. I cannot imagine how a surveyor could get lost or lose a gold mine...but, he did. Fred -

New Minelab Pi Announcement Date 2020
fredmason replied to nugget hunter nz's topic in Minelab Metal Detectors
If we consider the drip-feed improvements from the pl 2000 to 5000...changes were incremental but always better. Then the mighty ZED was born....we can hope for big changes and improvements, however past performance is an indication of future performance...but, I hope not! fred -
Mitchell is at the Quartzite Coin Hunt.... I think. if you get to San Diego give me a call... if you want fred

Rev it is your money but there are better, cheaper ways to test samples... Chris Ralph writes for the Icmj magazine...many basic questions answered at the cost of a subscription. good luck fred

Raking For Gold On The Beach And In The Water
fredmason replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Metal Detecting For Jewelry
Years ago, I bought plans for a Mercatch sifter ( not correct spelling) for dry and wet sand...apparently they were popular on the quiet east coast....I never did figure out the correct way to use the beast... BTW, not all beach cleaners have screens...some just rake the trash and seaweed...they won't rob the beach like the screens one do. -
Ok, Steve...I will henceforth and forever not say that again...even if that is how all these tecno-geeks make me feel. Thanks, Steve...I know it doesn't exist yet...but, if it ever does..... Thanks, Chase I know the proprietary models are expensive but I like stock equipment. I have had no problems with the three units with modules; and I don't mine paying if it is what I want. fred

The only place I was always certain a signal would be gold was my first trip to Australia....but, I always dug every signal. The gold is gone, the memories will always remain... fred -
