    Worst detecting ground out west?

    I am going to get a Garrett ATX sooner or later and am headed down to Arizona. Where are some of the places with mineralization that gives VLF detectors fits? Either intense ground or hot rocks or both? The gold does not need to be good as mainly I just want to see how the ATX runs in bad...

    ALWAYS Fill Your Holes!

    ALWAYS fill your holes. I do not care where you are or how remote you think you are. I do not care that kids leave holes in beaches or that the hole is in a mining area riddled with old timer mining shafts. Every detectorist that leaves open holes is giving ammo to people determined to shut us...

    Nevada Gold found with White's GMT

    Closeup of a 1.7 gram specimen I found recently near Winnemucca, NV with my White's GMT. This and a few other pieces are my first Nevada gold! The GMT is excellent on gold like this that PI detectors have a hard time seeing. [attachment 275500 sp05.jpg]

    Nevada Gold found with White's GMT

    Closeup of a 1.7 gram specimen I found recently near Winnemucca, NV with my White's GMT. This and a few other pieces are my first Nevada gold! The GMT is excellent on gold like this that PI detectors have a hard time seeing. I could not get my GPX 5000 to see this little specimen even on top of...

    Nice Specimen found with GPX 5000

    I am a Lower 48 newbie but off to a good start thanks to guidance from Chris Ralph, proving again that who you know is often more important than what you know when it comes to finding gold. Chris took me to a few places he was interested in. We had a great few days with some varied experiences...

    GMT Super Pulse

    There is a works-wide gold rush in progress using metal detectors in places where people are poorly educated at best. Demand for detectors is extreme, and the markets have a special need for simple, affordable detectors. I think White's may have a decent solution with a TDI SL variant they are...

    Sierra Gold Trac

    Another White's "Limited Distribution" model. Made for overseas and also available on the west coast. Overseas they are calling it the Goldmaster GT. [attachment 274957 image.jpg] Basically a stripped down GMT locked into ground tracking mode. Only two controls, Gain and Threshold. All Metal...

    What the Garrett ATX Needs to Do

    This is all purely my personal opinion. I have used both the Garrett Infinium and White's TDI since they came out. Both are decent machines for the price. But neither one really compares to my Minelab GPX 5000 for overall performance, although we all know that machine costs far more money. I...

    EMI - Detectors and Electro Magnetic Interference

    This is getting to be a big problem, one that basically did not exist for me years ago. Cell phones, Bluetooth, wireless this and wireless that, EMI is everywhere and getting worse. Detectors are radio receivers and so how to pick up that very faint target signal while excluding this blizzard...

    Garrett ATX Ground Balancing PI

    Well, Paul (CA) has reported on the Garrett AML-1000 Recon Pro mine detector. I was tempted to get one for some time but did not. I was fairly sure Garrett would eventually leverage the development costs by producing a consumer version. It looks like it has happened in the new Garrett ATX. The...

    A Ganes Creek nugget from 2012

    2.4 ounce gold nugget found by Dave R at Ganes Creek, Alaska in 2012 with a White's MXT. I was there that summer, the last that Ganes Creek was operated as a pay-to-mine operation. Dave scored this beauty while I was there. [attachment 273503 image.jpg]

    NEW Garrett Extreme - Waterproof Gold Nugget Detector?

    So is this a new machine to replace or complement the Garrett Infinium? Sure looks like it, and coming soon. I am very interested indeed. I had good success with the Infinium but there are some things I wished were different. I am hoping this new unit addresses some of my issues. Just about have...

    Hello from Chicken, Alaska

    Been in and around Chicken, Alaska for over a month now, and down to the last few days. Been a great gig. Weather has been fantastic, the gold better than I hoped for, and made new friends. Best of all, I have had lots of time and so no pressure. I have had to work a little bit at just taking it...

    1.26 oz Nugget Found with GPX 5000

    Kind of slow here so I thought we could use a nugget photo. This is a 1.26 oz nugget I had just dug on Potosi Creek, a tributary of Ganes Creek, Alaska in 2011. I had a tight hole going so probed ahead with the Garrett Pro Pointer so as to not put my pick into the nugget. Found with a Minelab...

    New Nugget Detectors (or Lack Thereof)

    I find it odd that gold nugget detectors are selling at absurd levels the last few years, yet there seems to be little interest in catering to the gold nugget market specifically on the part of the manufacturers. Most detector manufacturers hedge their bets by producing multipurpose detectors...

    Three Fishers and a Minelab

    Winter refuses to go away in Alaska (it is snowing right now!) but spring will come sooner or later. I head off prospecting June 15th for the summer. Good old fashioned stuff, just shovel, pick, sluice, and rocker box. Plus some 21st century technology. I will be relying on my detectors a lot...
