Walker

I got a 2300 when they first came out. This has been a chronic problem from the beginning. I can’t believe it hasn’t been resolved.

Hey friends, I might still have some really good footage of my friends and I pulling a kangaroo out of a shaft in 2006 . It was just north of laverton. I was detecting and I heard a ruckus in a shaft. I saw the roo so I went back to camp and got my Australian friend Steve. He made a lasso and pulled it out. It was quite an experience. The video I have is low quality but if I can get it to work and post it,  it’s worth seeing. Thanks for the post, it brought back some lost memories. Hope you all are doing well.

First antlers of the season! If you’re not a finder then you are a weeper! In my back yard in Colorado. No one for miles. Do you see both sides? 

Ha ha! I love the potato trick! Thanks JP! 
PS. ...... don’t eat the potato afterwards!🤣

Thanks JP for posting this thread. Man.... I have discovered a long time ago that those little ones are what ends up paying the bills. Bread and butter nuggets. The big ones tend to be the bonus.

By the way, there is someone by the name of Walker who heads up the Newmont partnerships now.  Any relationship to you?  

Not that I am aware of, but I have a very large family. My mother told me when I was in school. “ Don’t fight anyone or date anyone because you are probably related to them.” 🤣

Nice Lunk! You have motivated me to get out no matter what the weather is doing. Thanks for posting!

  I know both guys, Lunk and Walker, both great friends and some of the best metal detectorists I have met in the last 25 years. 

Hey Rob, you my friend, are one of the best Detectorist I have ever seen. You have helped me find several pounds. Thanks so much for your Friendship!

Extra Deep, to be exact.🙂

I’m with you Lunk. That has been a secret of mine for a long time. There is some stuff happening there that is quite amazing when you put the time in.

Ha ha! Me too, I forgot 🤣 I sent one back in the early days. 

Wow! Nice chunk! I can relate. I have been discovering the subtleties of deep chunky gold. You take such better care of your zed. I know you use yours as much if not more than I. Mine is a bit more beat up. Good job on many levels!

Walker is my last name but it fits me, I do it for miles 🤣

Bunks design is the best, I have tried them all.

We are such a small percentage of the population. Yet we love the increase. Only us finders 🤣

I can tell you if a target is trash or gold with a 98% accuracy. I just say it’s trash every time and 2% of the time it’s not 🤣

WOW! Thanks for posting that. I am a Colorado boy myself.

That piece of gold is a lobster ??

You might make a sacrifice on the small stuff and try extra deep. It helps me sort out moisture and roots and such when things get bad. Don't worry, you won't miss that sluggy nugget down deep.

This is one I got with the 7000  last year. Everything has to be just right to pick one up these up. I am sure I walk over pounds of them so I can find one. I am sure that 

Kiwijw can beat it though. I think he has found pounds of these.

I am camping on top of it ?

If you have a (professional) use hydrofloric acid. You will know how much gold you have and preserve the specimen somewhat.

There's nothing wrong with that!

Do you have a picture of it? Sounds like it's not just quartz an gold. Or maybe a large air pocket in it.
