Goldbug 2 1494 0
Started by geroldpersonett@gmail.com
I know it's been said many times before, but I want to say it again, when MD'ing you really need to go slow and low. I was at the Vulture Bait claim last week, NW area, using a Goldbug 2 with a 6' coil and I was amazed on how much small and tiny trash targets I found (over 200). I saw a few folks out there using PI detectors (not sure how they were doing) I know they will go deeper than the GB2 and they will pick up the small gold too. But the amount of small trash targets I found I still believ...

Want to buy 23400 6
Started by rkaupas@hotmail.com
Wanting a metal detector, I often hear Equinox 800 is best starter.
My lifestyle and desired usage:
*Travel the States fulltime in an rv.
*Enjoy gold prospecting (pan, sluicing, etc.)
*Would like to be able to search campgrounds, fields and beaches -- gold, coins, relics, etc.
* Desert, fresh water, salt water, woodland all equally desirable search goals.
Can one unit do it all
What would you recommend

Detector coil test using gold bug pro and x terra 70 2963 0
Started by pyrography10178@yahoo.com
So I designed a test to see where under my coils I was actually detecting using bird shot as an example taped to a card with target lines. I made two videos of the test using two different styles of coils to help gpaa members and others with their detecting. I set up both detectors for general detecting. If I was going to be in one spot I would set up my detector hotter or more sensitive. Here are the links. Just copy and paste onto your search bar. https://youtu.be/2ghFniLuRnM https://yout...

Burnt River, Oregon 22941 3
Started by geroldpersonett@gmail.com
I'm going to be heading to eastern Oregon in August to do some metal detecting. I have a 3 day pass for the LDMA Blue Bucket camp and I'm going to check out the 3 GPAA claims on Burnt river. I'll be using a Goldbug2 and I'll be looking for the real small gold. Has any one metal detected on the Blue Bucket camp or any of the GPAA claims on Burnt river. I've had a hard time finding any information or comments from people metal detecting these areas.

Search coils 18501 3
Started by texsmith2412@gmail.com
Hey all Got a coil question for you guys. I've always done well in hard hit areas with a 8 inch coil. I generally use a 14 inch coiltek elite and switch to a 8 inch mono commander from mine lab.It really rocks in tight places and on small gold the bigger coils miss.When out last week I switched over to the 8 inch in an area that was really tight with rocks and brush and it freaked out on me. I put it off as interference or something inside the coil cover ( which has tape on the seam). I too...

I am starting to get a fever again, GOLD FEVER that is... 20390 8
Started by dixiedesertdigger@gmail.com
So starting to think more and more of trying some nugget shooting again. I have been so focused on my usual relic hunting since my last nugget shooting adventure in the Arizona Gold Basin last November (2016) that I am thinking a break from it will be nice. Frankly, I haven't paid any attention to the GPAA since my last gold hunt that I am not sure what if any changes have taken place... Did we ever get an online Claims Guide Any changes to the Gold Basin Claims or any new claims in between Go...
