Tnx Walt. 4018 2
Started by terry_cieszki@yahoo.com
Recently, I talked to Walt Eason about the inaccurate Lat/Lon at the ADK in the MG. I also found a claim jumper and family up there. Walt suggested I handle such encounters by allowing the jumper to look and if he likes what he finds, join the GPAA club. That is a genius stroke of salesmanship, Walt. That is how I will handle future meetings. Tnx. ╦╦Ç

Quartz vein 3548 3
Started by geroldpersonett@gmail.com
I use a Goldbug2 with a 5' coil and I'm finding a lot of small pieces of wire about the size of course hair, sizes from 1/8' long up to an inch long. I've found them in AZ on the Vulture Bait claim and in CA on the ADK claim. At first I figured it was just old timer trash, but last week I was MD the Vulture Bait claim and found an area of exposed mineralized quartz and the vein seemed to be full of this wire. Does anyone have any thoughts on this or is it just old t...

ADK Claim 40 or 160 acres 30281 2
Started by geroldpersonett@gmail.com
I was metal detecting the ADK claim in S. CA. a few weeks ago (found my first desert gold, 3 small pieces) is this a 40 or 160 acre claim In the MG it says 40 acres but here in claim info. it states 160 acres, not sure if they have ADK and 6 Feet under claims acres mixed up. 6 Feet Under in the MG says it's a 160 acres. I'm planning on heading that way again in February and want to work both these claims but would like to know the size of them.

Gold Bug 2 vs Gold Bug Pro 36317 8
Started by tcongo@cox.net
Recent move to north Phoenix, Arizona, and new to desert mining. My Background is river sluicing, crevicing, sniping, and a little dredging. I recently tried sampling on a GPAA claim, and felt way out of my element/comfort zone. I found the dry dirt, dust, and dealing with clay a little challenging. However, I do love hiking, exploring and sampling, so I thought I'd give metal detecting a shot for small and shallow gold. ...

Minelab GPX-5000 20247 3
Started by dwf4646@gmail.com
Let's say I have up to $4000 to spend. I am wondering if there is any reason NOT to buy a GPX-5000. I understand that it would not have the ability of tiny size detection of the GB2, or the depth of the GPZ, but those obvious limitations aside, any thoughts I would be using it everywhere but in water. Thanks!

Minelab Eureka Gold 10389 4
Started by dylanaugerot@ymail.com
Just purchased a Minelab Eureka Gold this year. Absolutely love it. Very fast signal response and an excellent detector in even the trashiest of areas. It's discrimination is unsurpassable. Well worth the 800$. And then to boot the stock coils is a little champ getting into those cracks and crevices. Lots of gold to be found with this detector. Always buy a new detector from a certified dealer so you know your getting a quality machine. I purchased mine on eBay for 800$. Then I purchased a pair...

Started by cw@kalisoft.com
Whilst chasing elk I have found and GPS'd many old tailings piles and cabins. Thought I would take the ebike and put together an adventure. I have never used a metal detector so looking for some suggestions. I am leaning toward a Garrett ATX.
Is this light enough What size coil package Any other suggestions for metal detector I like to keep it simple if possible. I think most of my shooting will be in loose tailings.
Thinking I might do some panning too. Might have to bring in a small plast...

Georgia Metal Detecting HELP 8814 2
Started by isilio1982@gmail.com
Hi,
I recently bought a Metal Detector, Can somebody tell me some places where actually we could use the metal detector in Georgia. I live in the Dunwoody area.
I was some days ago in the GPAA Gold Mine located in dahlonega but I thinks that is just for panning and not for use the Metal Detector. I'm new to this hobbie but I wish to use my new toy I really appreciate any help.
I'm interested in gold, silver and any antique hunt.
Thanks,
Isilio

So I am planning my very first Nugget Shooting attempt. I will be taking my new Garrett AT Gold and Garrett ATX Deepseeker. I am very excited. I have all of the tools, a ton of 'research' knowledge but zero experience in Nugget Shooting and I have never been to the Gold Basin. I will be going alone, setting up my tent and camp area and begin shooting for some yellow stone... So there is the extent of my plan so far LOL... I have just over a month to have a much better plan. So I thought I would ...

I have wanted a detector for a long time but didn't think I could afford one so I settled for panning and sluicing when I can.
hears for the find I was on my way to work last Thursday and there was a estate action at the house next door so I went over and man what did I find ( a brand new GTI 2500 pro never used still in the case ) I got it for $65.00 that is my find
