Lunk's GM2K Paydirt Payday

[Lunk]

JP mentioned it here, but I haven't seen anyone on the forum do it yet, so I thought I would take the initiative…

On New Years Day, I decided to try maximizing target recovery with my Gold Monster 2000 during the next few outings by pouring each target-laden scoop of dirt into a bag, and panning it out on my next day off. This method, combined with the GM2k's outstanding discrimination system, allowed me to make the most efficient use of my time in each detecting session by isolating and recovering only the most promising non-ferrous targets. So, without further ado, here are the results:

I know someone that does that with his 6000 and also someone who did that with their GM 1000.  Results will vary.

Your results are impressive.

Good Thinking Lunk👍 and it especially makes good sense for people who live a long way from the gold producing areas to collect as many good-signal targets as possible in the few hours they have in that one-day excursion. You can sort the chaff from the grain (or the lead from the gold) at home anytime it suits.

good on you Lunk

My personality flaw of needing instant gratification would not allow me to wait that long to see the target. But since its is a new year, and I need to work on my patience,  I'll give this a try soon, maybe.... I need to work on my procrastination too!🤣

Hey Lunk  nice collection 👍 Butttttt I've been notified that all non natives  are band from any AZ gold fields especially the big Q 🤐

I've been thinking of doing just that as I waste so much time in a day recovering pellets, with the off chance one of them is a bit of gold, I was thinking of just taking a bag along and getting the target into a scoop and dealing with it all at home.  I can then use the energy I've got to find targets rather than to recover them.

Well done on doing it and having success too.

Ive stopped doing the bag thing, because Ive settled on a good, narrow scoop (Minelab GoFind) and when its a tiny, iffy signal I keep the coil still on the ground and switch over to normal or even Benign and swipe the scoop across the coil again.....even the tiniest targets are thus recovered. No need to carry around a bagful of dirt anymore.... Plus, it gets a bit depressing at the end of the day when you get nothing in your pan but tiny rust flakes and ratshot 😁

I haven’t tried doing it yet, but with my luck, I’d leave the bag on top of my truck or somewhere else outside at the end of the day and would head for home without it!
