Gold Ryder

If any of you havent checked out Stuart Bonny's Gold Snitch booster. You need to.

Reese, Hes my claim partner and the one who has taught me the most. Put me light years ahead in a short time. One of the few out there in the US trying to make a living out of detecting. Hes got a great book too.

onX hunt here in Montana and the west. It has land ownership, GPS tools, tied into google earth, weather and more. I use it constantly.

Ha! If your gonna dream, might as well dream big.

These are yesterday's finds. Ill take them from here and add it to conglomerate jewelry like channel rings and bracelets. This course wire-ess type gold brings more value and appeal to jewelry for sure. They may not be big nuggs but they still fetch a higher value than finer or even well worn gold.

He did a show with a couple of my gold hunting buddies here in Montana. Both of them have pulled pounds of gold out of the ground with 5000s and now sometimes six's. Gonna be interesting to see how he portrays them. They are both 25 year veterans. I think Tim's section will show him panning with his young girls. But hes a pro with a detector.

Id take 6000 battery tech, and 6000 wireless capability in a 5000 all day long. For me Im with the others GPX pro with those features. I dont see where coil tech is gonna advance and I love the NF Evos as do most. So get rid of the anchor of a battery ect ect ect and Id be tickled pink. Minelab are you listening?

Back to the original question. It seems that the true technology stopped with the 5000, ad with a few tweaks like Micks mods The rest is semantics and to aid in comfort for the less physical. Things like smaller more powerful batteries, carbon shafts, better grips, waterproofing ect to increase usability Im no techy like some of you. Im just versed enough in the field to find gold somewhat consistently. But I do read enough far and wide to see that the 5000 for serious hunters who know how to tune it correctly is the pinnacle at this point.

This^^^^ Because at the end of the day you would be a fool not to.

Falcon MD20 pinpointer/detector for sale. Its only been in the field once. Great tool for pinpointing. Finding gold in ore samples, hard rock and pinpointing detector targets. Detects very small gold. $210 shipped.

With my 6000 I run a 36" long pick (dont gotta bend over much that way🤣) and the 6 swings easy. With my 5000 and the battery on the side now and a 15 or 19" coil and a swing arm. Im in the same quandry. Im gonna re-rig my reciever, booster on a back pack now. So Im thinking Im gonna run a shorter pick and rig something similar to what ice climbers use with loops on the side.

Im not gonna lie his videos make me want to come to Queensland. You can have WA with those damn flies even though I got a high school buddy who is a constable near Perth who swears he can get me on good gold because he spends alot of time in the bush on domestic violence calls and gold claim trespassers 🤣. N Queensland looks right up my ally minus the brown snakes and other fun things that will kill you in minutes🤣. I mean I hunt alot amongst grizzly bears and rattlesnakes but something about a snake that kills you in minutes is formidable. I like his style of hunting and hes honest about the days on days of skunks. Probably never make it though Ive got good big gold here and not alot of competition compared to other places. On another note with gold breaking new records and economies in shambles, we are gonna see more and more people where-ever we are. Its the way gold rush's always have been.

You can tell he is an animal in the bush. Going deeper, farther, longer than most can endure. Its what it takes these days to get into that kind of gold even here in Montana. Its still out there if you do it, wish I was 25 again and got the fever then. But Im still getting back in-country at 53. Thanks for sharing he is a good inspiration to push harder.

Meh I was hunting a hundred yards from a huge region supplying powerline on Saturday. Pulled two good nuggets and a load of other targets with the 6000 and the 12x7 NF. I will admit the stock 11" probably would of got its lunch ate. But the 12x7 handles EMI just fine in the 6000. And yeah Ive found plenty of bigger gold deep with the 6000.

Will it plug and play on the 5000?
