Popular Post Goldseeker5000 Posted June 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2023 I took a good friend to The Dragon's Lair to teach him how to find gold with his brand new GPX6000 and within an hour he had found his first nugget with it. He is excited to find more and we are exploring a new area close to one of mine and GoldRyder's claim. After I got him lined out on hunting with the 6000, I reworked my patch that has given up hundreds of nuggets and just pulled one tiny piece of gold out. I couldn't pull anymore gold out when I was getting ready to leave, so I focused heavily on very faint iffy signals that did not repeat, and pulled out some iron tiny trash. I got a non repeatable signal and scraped a thin layer back and heard a soft faint whisper repeating. I ended up digging a .63 of a gram nugget out shaped like a heart. It was about 14" deep maybe a little more. Damn this 6000 is impressive. I got it all on video and it will go up in about a month. I have the depth marked into my pick handle and will measure it soon. What a fine and impressive machine. Hats off to Minelab! 24 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Very nice find and I bet it was some hard work in that soil. Good luck and stay safe out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GotAU? Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Reese- I am curious as to your preference of using headphones, a external Bluetooth speaker (torus, etc), or just the stock built in one? And what were you using when you found the heart nugget? Nice find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldseeker5000 Posted July 15, 2023 Author Share Posted July 15, 2023 To,, lolGotAU, I was using the Avantree Torus and had the earbuds in. Very smooth and I heard just one direction spike through the threshold when I first heard the signal. It was not repeatable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Lunn Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Reese, this is a totally impressive find for both your skills and the GPX 6000. The MineLab chart at 14.5” deep (about 368mm) shows the GPZ 7000 with the stock 14” coil (using LM-HY/N) getting a 1.9 gram nugget. Your nugget is one third the size found at the same depth. The GPX 6000 is a great machine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dig4gold Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 A lot comes down to the operator too & conditions on the day. Some days the stars, moon & the universe all come into line. That doesn't happen very often & you just need to be in the right place at the right time. The universe works in mysterious ways & sometimes just for a select few. That may explain why a few seem to get quite a bit more gold than others. D4G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
