Gold Seeker

I agree I have a couple of 100' and 50' tape measures that have a folding handles just like what you have found. Love the Red Cross pin!

Not really mining but about a huge gold nugget, a comedy from Australia. The Nugget. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0278597/

Back on the OP subject of nickels, there's a good reason that most don't find what he would term "old" nickels, Shield nickels were only minted for 17 years (1866-1883), Liberty nickels were minted for 30 years (1883-1913), Buffalo nickels were minted for 25 years (1913-1938), on the other hand Jefferson nickels have been minted for 80 years and still counting (1938-present), more than the other 3 mintings combined, and of course it's easier to find a more or less recently lost nickel than any of the others that were most likely losted up to 80 or more years ago.

Most adapters don't work correctly but a few found one a Ace Hardware that worked, but others bought the only one they found at their local Ace Hardware store and it didn't work for them, so that source is sorta the luck of the draw, there's a fellow on another forum that has been making one that does work for his friends and a few fellow forum members that does seem to work for all who has gotten one from him.

GMS, Out of curiosity I checked out your website, IMHO you could of make it much easier for you to removed these bogus ads much sooner if you a "Contact" link on your website, I looked everywhere and couldn't find a contact link, so if you do indeed have one you should make it easier to find!!

While the Gold Monster is looking to be a GREAT detector, I don't think it has the depth to pick up any nuggets no matter how big they are from altitude when she flying over the gold fields!! But the way you have it setup I'm sure she will "cleanup" if you can get her a land it for a bit.

A great loss to the mining community, RIP Jerry.

Here's the "about" translation of this video from an online translator..... "Treasure Finder finds gold with the Gold Monster 1000, in this episode we put this detector to the test in the golden pleasures of my friend Erick, that we receives with the open arms, share with all of you this beautiful historical place of Mexico that was the first capital of the Northern Territory today Baja California, accompanies Alex, Fidel, Erick and Armando , all Procaleros in this new adventure, where we test the Gold Monster 1000 Minelab. They will realize that the expectations of all present and I consider that it is a super valuable tool for the one that is dedicated to the extraction of gold with detector or the amateur and adventurer in look for a first detector to dabble and learn the art of modern electronic Gambusino and find its first spark, a little girl boom and hopefully a baby boom and because not the prestigious home run of the babes! Thanks to master detector for having provided the Gold Monster 1000, if you want to buy one have them in stock and do not forget to use my promo code: Procaleros, to receive a 5% discount on your purchase."

I have never use the Garrett pan before because of the small bottom, I like the large bottom pans much better, so it looks like I may have to get one of these and see how it works, it maybe my new favorite pan!!

Merry Christmas and safe and Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas to all!

Way to go Klunker, Minelab should give him a free detector!!

That's a great idea but I would never get my kids to wash the truck/tires again after a few bean dishes or burittos!

Double Happies, I hope ya'll had a great day!

Steve do you know if this coil is in testing stage, I don't see it on Garrett's website and can't find it listed for sale anywhere else? It's a different design where it attaches to the shaft from the coils that are available for the ATX, at first I was thinking it was an aftermarket coil but in the video and towards the end of the video when Nuggetnoggin was showing the ATX in it's case it does clearly show a Garrett name tag on it. Edit: I also found this website that says there's a same size and design mono coil out as well, still haven't seen either for sale anywhere but still looking. http://md-hunter.com/garrett-atx-11x13-searchcoil-new-2016/

What do you mean it's not a nugget??? Of course it's a nugget, albeit a refined and processed nugget....with possible diamonds!!!! Are the diamonds real?

Jim, With the VSat being a older model it's possible that Whites may not be able to give it a checkup and or fix it if it needs work, I would think they would be able to at least check it out, but I would suggest you send Tom A.K.A. "tboykin" here on the forum a PM, he works for Whites and he has been very helpful to other memebers here on the forum and at the very least he should be able confirm if Whites can do a checkup on your VSat or not and if it's possible he should be abke to help you get it done I would think. Here's a link to his profile page so you can send him a PM and go from there. http://www.detectorprospector.com/forum/profile/957-tboykin/ .

I don't think losing a $200,000+ nugget is the best way to gain publicty!

I find it very hard to comprehend the mindset of this person!! https://www.odt.co.nz/regions/queenstown-lakes/second-largest-gold-nugget-found-lost

Thanks for posting IDd, very interesting piece, I like it! Do you know what the host rock is?

Congratulations Squizz, not only on the new ZED but being well on your way of having it paid for!!

Detectron is indeed still out there as a part of Tinker and Rasor parent company and the 7-T looks almost identical to your 1980s Detectron detector, it's billed as a "Valve and Box Locator" the price is $325. http://tinker-rasor.com/products/detectron-instruments/7-t/
