No I don't think you are stupid at all. As far as doing the cross checks with the other detectors i doubt that. Have a good day.

Well Mother Nature has a way of moving a lot of real estate aka as soil displacement. So you or anyone else can't say that detector X found these that detector B missed unless you ran both detectors at the same time.

How much of this gold could have been found with the GM1000?

These work really well https://www.sellstrom.com/product-page/kneepro-ultra-flex-iii-knee-pads looks like these are what Doc is selling. Prices range from $24 to $36 US depending where you shop at.

I thought you were retired Steve? LOL.. Looks good.

That's good to know.

When is this happening?

Also lots of private property out there.

The late Jim Straight talked a lot about this on Rob's forum also recommending some really good books on the subject.

I had to look that up also. 😀

You can use Mylandmatters to see which gov. agency owns the land. Stay off the State Trust land that requires a permit even driving thru it. (off highway).

That color is much better than the Camo.

How often do you go through detectors? LOL. Congrats on the gold to both you and your brother.

It's not necessarily the size of the gold, more so the density of it. For example you could take a 1 inch piece of the slotted end of a hose clamp and test it with your 5000 and one of your VLF's. I'm pretty sure the VLF's will here it deeper than the 5000. Thinking back on this when I saw this tested they were using a 4000 so maybe the 5000 may not hold true.
