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

There is always  a risk when buying used....if you can try it that is better.

buyer beware

Ask Curtis where he hid them....

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.

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.

AMEN....

my best friend of 51 years up and died last week.... I expected he would outlive me by 20 years...it was not to be

No, not a rip-off, Flak

just doing what prospectors have always done...follow the successful ones.

If you don’t want attention don’t go public!

Read the manual, again.

A sound theory...but, be prepared for many dry days. 
Chris Ralph covers this in his book and articles...

Nordic, I doubt it I s a meteorite if it has no magnetic attraction....but, get it checked...

It is not a common Chrondrite...

appears the be solid metal....I don't do mm...inches please!

A xrf machine might help, as would a lab test....or check Bill Southerns  where many people know many more things than me.

Better pic's would be helpful

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!

Mitchell is at the Quartzite Coin Hunt.... I think.

if you get to San Diego give me a call... if you want

it is your money but there are better, cheaper ways to test samples...

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

I may have missed this issue..you know I am not very smart.

will the prospecting, nugget finding version be wireless?

 I could not, would not buy another detector that doesn’t have a module.

thanks

The gold and the heavies will make a crescent and will be the last stuff to move...

this is presuming you know how to pan!

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

the round thing with stones looks like costume jewelry from the 20-40's era

fred

mine would neither push on or off....Minelab replaced the control box....pretty good service!

fred

Beautiful country and gold...reminds me of the pilbra/nullagine country...

wish I was there
