Nice Bit Of Gold With The Gold Monster.

Good on you clint, I've only managed one about 1.1 gms. :Y: :goldnugget:

Cheers

That is going to make some GM owners eager to get out.
Great work

It's not how good the detector is, it's where you wave it. Always has been, always will be.

So correct Reg , for the last 40 years almost all known gold ground has had detectors wave over it , people keep buying more expensive machines with the expectancy of having an advantage over past detectors .

Minelabs 2100 & 2200 with good coil choice can still perform

jack .

Hey Clint what settings did you use? Cheers

The settings were manual 10 all metal and the 5inch coil

Thanks clint. Did it go off on hot ground you gotta be able to differentiate the sounds between hot rocks and gold?

I allways carry a small bit of gold with me and if the ground is noisy i throw that on the ground.you might have to back the sens back until its quieter but not to far you still gotta pick the sound of the gold up that i put on the ground

Can't beat testing with the "real" metal.

Does lead shots give same sound as gold?

It sounds similar.but gold has a wobble pop noise to it. Do you wear the headphones?

No i don't mate maybe i should. I was using the monster near bendigo full maunal full sensitivity it went off everywhere lol but i guess if i went over gold ill know about it...maybe next time ill put it gold mode insted of all metal

Im allways in allmetal.the head phones make the tones stand out a lot clearer.

Don't make the mistake of thinking you know what gold sounds like. You could line up six different pieces of gold and get six different sounds and some of them will sound just like you'd expect from a bit of rusty iron or lead. I've walked along through the junk just digging the gold-like sounds then after pinging one on what should have been a screaming piece of rust I've had to go back and retrieve the nuggets that I'd previously decided were junk :8

Ps: I don't have a GM.

Was all that in one session?
How many hours?
Which coil?
Thanks

The 5 inch coil.went out for about 2hours.

Great stuff Clint3.
Im going to keep an eye out for the next Anaconda Sale and get one.
Glad youre doing so well with it.
Cheers

Just signed up to this forum and much needed inspiration. I recently bought the GM and all I've found is bullets, tin caps, washers and tinfoil. Early days.
