Hi Rick, Bob, and Guys I love my 4000 it is very good detector, with the Nugget Finder 14 Elip it run very quit and it will find sub gram gold. With the big 15x12 comander which is a great coil on the 4000 I can cover a lot of ground and find realy small gold from depths that my other detectors only dream about. I don't think I will upgrade until my skills surpass the detector's capability, and by then they'll have an 8000 or 10k out. I'm still just learning the 4000 so I have a ways to go. Rick I'm still looking for a 8" mono or a commander so I can get those little dinks no pun intended. Robin seem to have your number lately Thanks guys for your input. CH

Hi Bob Hey thanks for the info. I usually only have to retune a little around noon or so. It seems that midday is the worst most of the time around here. I just kind of stumbled on this. I didn't get real concerded about it. I dont have a high degree of tolerance for noisy detectors, unless I'm finding the yellow stuff then I put up with quiet a bit. I started with a 4000 because it is simpler to learn for now. Some day I would like to up grade to a new first line detector as get better with it. Maybe a GPX 8000 Thanks CH

Hi All While we talking about tuning, I have observed on my GPX 4000 that tuning can, and does affect target response. When I tune (manually) while hunting, to get rid of EMI I have lost little targets. I was in an area where there was a few little dinks. I found a few and got what I thought was another but got some EMI creeping in, so I tuned a little to quiet down the detector, and could not find the signal again. So I reset the tune to the previous number and could here it again. So I dug it and found a little .4 gm dink about 3" down on some bedrock. Can you guys tell me why that is? Perhaps I need to send it to ML for a tune up? I checked this out twice and both times I lost the signal and could not find it with the detector tuned to it quietest setting for that target.

Hi Lucky Wow out standing! That looks like a big Wire Patch nugget. Hope you where using the 4000 and the 15" Commander? This would make me feel real good about mine. Keep'er Swining CH

Just a heads up on what the UN is doing. The treaty will come up for a vote in the UN soon. We need to stay vigil. Also herd that the Interior Dept is going to use the Antiquates act to close 13 million ac of public lands as monuments. They are stalling the congress to release a list of lands affected. So you may want to drop a line to your crooks uh uh congressperson to get on this. Hole the Line CH

Hey thanks Rob, good info. Yes I plan to use it on small gold in and near streams and bench deposits. I'm just a little new to PI equipment. Thanks CH

Looks like the TDI forum is offline. I don't know if it is just down or if it has gone off line. Hope not it was a good place for TDI info. Keeper Swinging. CH

I'm thinking of buying a slightly used coil how do they compare with the CoilTek goldstalker coils or the new 14" CoilTek. I have been kind of waiting to get the info on the new 14" CoilTek, but this coil is for sale now. What would be a good price? I thinks it is called a Platypus mono water proof coil. Thanks Keeper Swinging C

Howdy Guys and Ladies. First off let me say that I don't condone, nor would I ever do this to someone. With that said you have condition that breads this type stuff fostered by the BLM and there failure to "Manage the land" You have guys that go out file claims for land that will never produce gold or minerals in a profitable amounts. They just sit on them some have several claims that just never are intended to be mined, they hold them for years on speculation that some big company will come in and make them millionaires over night Which will most likely will never happen. Many of these claims would make good rec claims for weekend prospectors and rock hounds, Now I know some people are full time Miners that own these claims and work them as intended and do make a good amount of money from them, but for the most part it is like a game to see how many claims they can get and keep every one else off the area just to be cantankerous. I also know that there are lot's of greenies now doing this to stop miners from useing their claims. One of the worst is the Sierra Fund they has over 100 million dollars to spend and got the dedgeing shut down in CA. Now they are funding the over filing to drive miners of their claims. They did that to my cousin in Siskou county CA. So you just fight them or pullout. They have a lot of money to burn and can out last most miners. Then you have just plain old outlaws that do this and stop all activity on the claim then offer to with drawn the claim if you pay them 500 or a 1000 dollars These type need shooting, That is just this old man's rant.
