  1. I have a box full of phones, but the BWs are #1, Grey Ghost & UR 30s second. IMO.
  2. Generally big gold is found in small viens and small gold is found in big viens, but not always.
  3. If it was found on private property its between you and the land owner. All of the relics I fimd are on private propery. LOL
  4. I had a quad about 4 yrs ago , Im 76 and feel great, can still climb the mountain.
  5. There are still a lots of guys hunt the Trigos,but they have been hit hard. Used to find lots of gold there 25 yr,s ago
  6. Go in the summer, I guarnetee you wont see a CRITer, just stay out of sight of the roads.
  7. Nitric or muratic wont hurt them but it wont make em shiney. I would put them in a tumbler with walnut shells, and check on em often.
  8. I agree that the GB11 is superior under those conditions, but in moderate dirt the GB PRO is deeper on a larger nugget, and in trashy areas the disc does a better job of eliminating iron. IMO the GB pro is close to preformance of the original GB on small gold or maybe a little better and has comparable depth. (Both operate at close to the same freq.) The original GB was deeper than the GB11 and if it had a disc. it would still be a great detector. I probably found more gold with the old Bug than with all my detectors since. (Biggest was 9 oz.)
  9. Could be an aircraft TXing on radio or AC radar.
  10. For centuries gold has been weighed in Troy Wt, grains, pennyweights and ounces. a grain is a small and precise unit of weight. Nowadays everone seems to want to weigh it in grams and fractions thereof. How many .258s does it take to make 31.1034768, or in easier figures 1 ounce? 24 grains = 1 DWT 20 DWT =1 ounce or 480 grains to a ounce. Simple. Troy weight is the international and traditonal unit of weight for gold and has been since the 5th century. I can't even visualise the size of a piece of gold that weighs .258 gms. Maybe I'm old fashioned but Troy just seems simpler to me. Ft Knox even uses the troy unit of Wt.............JMO
  11. From 1 grain up to about 1 DWT theres very little difference, on fly specs the GB11 is better, on larger nuggets the GB Pro is way deeper. on the GTB Pro it [s very easy to avoid digging iron. With the boost mode on the GB11 a very small piece of gold will sound louder. you can't go wrong with either one
