  1. Bought this gold finding machine from none other than world renowned Rob Allison himself. Has the mini battery pack. Never used the stock battery. couple of coils.. mono and DD 2500.obo 951-847-5657
  2. I thought you guys would get a kick out of the photo and thought i would kinda make a joke out of it because of whats been going on with the 4500. only way i would up grade at this time is if it was a good price. other wise ill wait until the next one comes out.
  3. Thanks. Rob and his wife have been great so far except lately he hasn't been returning my calls but i know he has a day job so i understand. So as long as they continue to do so ill keep giving them my business.
  4. Sorry make that wilderness area is where they said it was ok to metal detect. Such as Hassayampa river canyon wilderness which is close to you.
  5. i have a 4000 already but its starting to threaten leaving me since after 2 years working it its still a virgin machine. ill admit i wasn't in the best areas and all that trash just frustrated the crap out of me but im still trying. I know im in a good area now but it might be a bit played out. Rob can i still take you up on that one day outing you told me about when i bought this thing off you.
  6. I have a pile of cash just burning a hole in my floor. please help i need one asap so i can race out and find some gold and double my investment.
  7. i was told by BLM that its ok to detect in a area closed to mineral entry but i cant use any mechanical means such as a dry washer or a dredge. Of coarse if i find something good i cant file a claim. All the wild life refuges are this way.
  8. I'm using a Gpx 4000. i found that i either have to turn it off or set it 10 feet away. both of which slows me down cause i don't even take off my head phones while i dig. I'm not in anyway saying it doesn't work because it dose very well it picks stuff up to a foot away. Ill give you a call.
  9. I just bought one from Rob i don't recommend them. It dose not work unless I set my detector about 10 feet away. to much interference. Hey Rob what's the chances of exchanging it for something else?
  10. There goes so more prime property that will be donated to the government and turned in to some wild life refugee for a ant or cock roach.
  11. I was wondering when you guys are out hiking around what is it you look for in an area? When do you know when to turn on that detector? I have read on here people that have hiked around for hours but didn’t find any good spots to detect. What is it you look for that lets you know that it is a likely spot for gold? I find some with my dredge and sluie but yet to with my detector. I do find lead shot so i know i just havent put my coil over a nugget yet. Thanks in advance for the help.
  12. What do you mean by promising ground? What type of signs are you looking for? Thanks in advance.
  13. When i bought my 4000 from Rob i got a video called The outback prospector the gpx factor. i would think you could get one. i know it really helped me out. that reminds me Rob is there a time limit on that 1 day outing with you? I still havent been to az since I bought my detector.
