I have no doubt Minelab is working on new ideas and expanding their technology, as they are an innovative company. I just hope Minelab will continue to include existing GPZ customers in any new ergonomic enhancements or much needed screen improvements, like they have done with the software upgrades. Don't forget about us Minelab! Still waiting for the Xchange to be compatible, come on now! Brian.

Fantastic finds Peg and in the shade!

Fantastic results, congratulations! I sure do miss dredging.

Congratulations Tom!

Congratulations Chris!!!!! that is a spectacular nugget.

Congratulations Rick, nice pile of nuggets.

Steve, are you saying if I load the previous version, i still wont be able to use the Xchange software, or did i read it wrong? Brian

I believe the GPZ is currently the best PI gold detector, but i do have two complaints. 1) Fix the screen so we can see it! 2) Fix the Xchange software, so its compatible with the latest update! My detector will not allow me to add anymore find points, way points, or geo hunts! I want to be able to use all the features of the machine, not just some! Brian.

I heard about 265 people signed in, but some always get by. It was as always, a fantastic event! Still need to meet you Tom.

Giddiup, you can always dig to see if there is any deep gold in this particular area. What i will do is pothole my patch! With a pick and shovel i will dig down about a foot or to bedrock in an area roughly four feet by four feet all over my patch or sometimes in just the richest area. It is hard work, but well worth it. Good luck. Brian.

Great story and pictures Peg. Glad you made it home safely.

Beautiful nuggets Chris, congratulations!

Hi Paul, I know this thread is old, but was curious if you were able to download the xchange software to the tablet and how does it work? Brian.

Great write up Californiagold and thank you for sharing your videos. Brian.

Took this photo yesterday where the North and Middle Fork of the American River merge, just below Auburn Ca. The water from the Middle Fork has been much higher this year, but still moving gold. The North Fork is the river on the left, moving left to right. Brian.

Gotta love those boot tacks!

Scott, I hope you show us the clean up results of the sluicing. Brian.

Might be a good idea to notify Minelab if the thieves try to have some warranty work done. Brian.

Great Link Steve, lots of great information in just one place. I sure do enjoy seeing photos of people mining and different parts of our beautiful country. It makes me want to leave my office and go find some gold! Brian.

Hello Chet, thank you for taking the time to perform this test. Would I be correct in saying that the nickel is giving off a high/low sound based on the oscilloscope display or is there a double signal? Brian.

Thank you JP. Sounds like something I may need. Brian.

Thanks Lunk, When I go back to this area, I will definitely spend some time with the different modes to see which ones give off the best signal. I always thought HY/Normal gave me the best odds of finding a metallic object in the ground, regardless of its size. I look forward to learning this machine, going to be a long road :) Brian.

Oh Oh, I always detect with enhanced GPS on! I would greatly appreciate it if you were to elaborate on this, when you have the time. Thank you, Brian.

Amazing collection! Congratulations.

They were both 5000's, with one being about 4 years old and the other, with the commander is about 6 months old. Greg, that would be a good test, but as you know, when we are in the gold field, its all about covering ground and finding gold. Testing is always on the back burner. I know you have a special bond with your 5K, wink wink! Brian.
