Gpx-6000 1 Year Anniversary. Is It The King?
Randy Lunn replied to Gerry in Idaho's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
My 6000 has been very productive on hard hit claims. There are a lot of sub-gram “Goldilocks nuggets” at a few inches that both the 7000 and GM (and GB2) miss. I still have my 7000 but it is getting heavier every year. However, in less hit areas known for large nuggets the 7000 can not be beat. -
What The Heck Is That? Contest Won By Sevastras!

A gold magnet that uses quantum entanglement to detect nuggets up to three feet away. -

I have been in denial, but with temperatures hitting over 100 degrees on a daily basis I finally have to admit the winter detecting season in the Southern California and Arizona deserts is over. It has been a fun year, and I have met a lot of good people through the clubs I belong to, Bill Southern's YouTube patreon group and just randomly in the middle of nowhere. I have detected mostly with the GPX 6000 and GM 1000. I just love getting out into nature. The thrill of being in a beautiful area with the sense of adventure and the chance to find stuff is exhilarating. My best gold finds were a patch of eight small nuggets in the Cargo Muchacho Mountains, a 4.1 gram nugget with two small nuggets (.2 and .3 grams) each nestled less than six inches away near Yuma, a 17 gram complete chondrite meteorite with regmaglypts and contraction cracks from Coyote Dry Lake, a "perfect" old tin can with solder seam and applied top, a mule shoe found at the top of a high hill in the middle of the Vulture Mountains in Arizona and a bird band in Gold Basin that I reported. I got a bunch of other small nuggets but the artifacts and animals really help me get through those days when I get skunked. I will be making trips to Northern Nevada and the Yuba this summer. See you there!

Bill and Tammy are wonderful people, and their Patreon trips are fun adventures. -
Detecting Last Weekend - More Gold
Randy Lunn replied to Reno Chris's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Well done Chris. That’s a fantastic collection of nuggets. You are on a roll. -
Well done Reese. That’s a nice range of nuggets. I am glad to see the 6000 can find large gold.

My Trip To The Mojave Desert
Randy Lunn replied to Gold Catcher's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Great write-up on a fun and successful trip. Good to see you on Bill’s trip and I like the two nuggets you found on the first day. I found seven small nuggets (only .9 grams total) a week ago in the Cargo Muchacho mountains. That 6000 is amazing. Let’s link up on your next trip. Happy New Year! -
Absolutely incredible Lunk. You and the 6000 make an amazing team. Congrats on a stellar haul.

I feel your pain. I often set my detector to "Square Nails" by mistake also.

The New Version (and Old Also) Of The Fisher Gold Bug 2
Randy Lunn replied to Reno Chris's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
When detecting bedrock I still prefer my GB2 over my other machines. It is stable with very few false signals. The analog ground balance and threshold make it a joy to use. -
I am always amazed that countries that did not even exist lay claim to treasure found that had been abandoned centuries ago.

Hunting gold takes me to beautiful places I would not otherwise visit. I love the history, the geology, the adventure, the solitude and thrill of finding gold. I also enjoy the friends I make and the knowledge we share.

I Know You All Appreciate A Pretty Little Nugget
Randy Lunn replied to RedDirtDigger's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
What a beautiful twinned crystalline nugget! I am still hoping to find a chevron nugget near Rye Patch, Nevada here is the US.
