Minelab GPX 5000 scores some specimens!!


This last weekend I managed to escape into the goldfields and give the GPX another workout. After a few hours of metal detecting, I was able to score 3 decent Dwt+ pieces in a small ravine. You can view the pictures below, including the one specimen (gold and Quartz) piece hiding in the bedrock.


The second part of the day I played around with the Minelab SDC 2300 and scored 4 small ones. Ended the day with 7 nuggets for a total weight of around 1/4 ounce.


P.S. Notice the amount of lead and casings I dug during the day :(

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the comments. Yes, that is the stock Commander 11-inch Mono Searchcoil, which is very deadly on the GPX 5000.

Placer Chaser - Skunked? What is that .... LOL :mellow: I will never get skunked going back to old patches, but will get skunked prospecting for new patches and locations.
