Popular Post sevastras Posted November 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2021 I purchased the GPX 6000 from @Gerry in Idaho a few months back and had only taken it out once for about 45 minutes and had to put it away because it was screaming at me due to iron scattered everywhere. Fast forward to this past weekend, I went down to Rye Patch to @Gerry in Idaho's training to really get out and try this thing out. I ended the trip with 8 pieces totaling 3.7 grams, cleaned. The biggest piece was pretty cool so I am including pictures of both sides of that one, 1.5 grams cleaned. All 8 were found right around the burn barrel area. Thank you to Gerry and all of his staff for a great time and knowledge! @Lunk @afreakofnature and the rest of the team. 19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrunt Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Very nice, it seems like you don't see gold like that coming out of Rye patch everyday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aerospace guy Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Sevastras..congrats..I took training with Gerry there also and found gold but with an EQ 800. My question to you is, " what area of the country were you having "trouble" in"? Where I live, there are a multitude of "hot rocks" which always caused me trouble... and still do with the EQ800 so I sometimes have to go to single frequency. What did Gerry recommend for when you have trouble please? What settings did he say might work in that situation on you 6000? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did Gerry recommend for when you have trouble please? What settings did he say might work in that situation on you 6000? That was in Idaho. The issues I was having was just trashy and was not suited for the 6000. The 800 with a 6" coil was a better fit because of the smaller area and discrimination/identification. Unless I wanted to go around and clean up all of the trash, there really isnt a way to take the 6000 through that specific area. As far as the 6000 and hot rocks, from what I understand, the 6000 does a pretty good job of getting rid of those on its own. The machine is really a lot more simple than the 800. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Does somebody go out and restock that burn barrel area--it has got to be the most pounded area in the Rye Patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
