Equinox 800 To A Lode Mine Tailings

[rvpopeye]

The 800 in factory settings gold modes should have been your ticket in a place like that  IMO ..

Try again , (with less distractions) , and GO SLOW.

I may sound a little harsh bit it sounds to me like you need to learn how to read a GPs and a topo/claims map before you worry about the type of detector you should have...

Any detector that does find you some gold would be great---especially if it is on your claim.

This is a basic tenet of detectorists'--- to know where they are at at  all times-- dont be that guy who has to be embarrassed when the real claim owner shows up busting your a.. and all you can say is. " I thought we were on my claim"-- Trust me-- at the time it sounds so weak of an excuse that you will want to crawl under a rock. 

Hopefully the claim owner will blow it off and tell you exactly what i just did. 

Opinion given with love---- but dont mess up!!! -- too easy to use a real map !!!

 

You seemed to missed what I posted , I was invited by the claim owner to go with to checkout his claims ,

when we got to where he thought his claims were , I looked at his paperwork [ limited ] IT LOOKED TO ME THAT WE WERE NOT ON HIS CLAIM , I took us to his claim with his limited paperwork , then the person who brokered the claims came a couple days confirmed where I said they were !

Now to see if we go back in August , the owner mentioned that while we were there 😉

And get time to really check out the claim , & the NOX for hunting tailings from load ?

Gerry in Idaho has a lot if experience with using a Nox on tailings- this is a good read too:

I checked out Gerry's linked post , helps to confirm , just more time to learn the NOX , and more time in that area ?

Too bad I do not live closer to Colorado and frequent the same spot .
