Zed Fun In The Sun

[Lunk]

It's been a while since I posted any gold finds, so I thought I better let you all have a look at some of what the GPZ 7000 has found in the beat-up old placers of southwestern Arizona before making my way northward.

The mighty Zed:

Pictured is 3 ounces of the good stuff.

It was unseasonably cool and wet this winter, and is just now warming up to the temperature that it should have been a month ago. Not complaining...just saying. ?

Also saw a few critters.

The weather has been so perfect lately that I really don't want to leave.

Even mom got into the action this winter after a 4 year hiatus; her story here:

Well, until next winter, so long sunny AZ!?

Thanks for sharing those great photos Lunk and congratulations on the gold finds. Fantastic... I was especially interested in the critter... never seen a desert tortoise or does it go by another description? Give your Mom our best regards and WTG from Ontario.

Nice gold there Lunk, was it found all with the 19inch mate ?

G'day Bloodgold 2,

The bulk of the finds were made with the GPZ 14; it's still my go-to coil, as most of the gold in the areas I detect is small and relatively shallow. For example, the largest nugget pictured is 11 grams and was only 100 to 125 mil (that's 4 or 5 inches for us yanks).  I've only used the GPZ 19 in spots where I've found nuggets at depth with the GPZ 14.
