    Steve's Guide to Gold Nugget Detectors Updated 12/10/13

    For over ten years I have published a simple guide to current gold nugget detectors along with some personal commentary. I update it as new detectors come along. I have renamed it and moved it to what I hope is its final location at Steve's Guide to Gold Nugget Detectors. LAST UPDATE 12/10/2013...

    First Gold & Silver with CTX 3030 - Mini Review

    I will get right to the point. I have been metal detecting 40 years now, and the CTX 3030 is simply one of the finest detectors I have ever used. I did two things I do not do a lot of these days because I tend to spend all my available time in the summer prospecting. I did enough of that this...

    Urban Prospecting Results

    It is pretty ironic given my previous post on Urban Prospecting at http://www.findmall.com/read.php?27,1770062 that I ended up finding not one but two jewelry items with gold nuggets on them on my recent outings. I found more gold nuggets than I find many times on the creeks and a prime gold ore...

    Urban Prospecting

    I do love my nugget detecting! It is pretty simple stuff really. Just dig whatever goes beep, or at most try and ignore ferrous trash. Dig, dig, dig. So what to do when I am stuck in town? I still like to go prospecting for gold, the urban kind. Jewelry of any sort, and the best part about...

    Introducing Steve Herschbach

    That would be me! Many of you have seen me on the forums before. Many have not, and so I figured I had better do a little intro. I have lived in Anchorage, Alaska my entire life, and got an early start prospecting and metal detecting in 1972. My first detector was a White's Coinmaster 4. My...

    Kudos to Minelab Engineers - CTX 3030

    Hi, Put my new CTX 3030 together last night. No, I have not used it yet. I decided just holding and looking at it that a post was deserved. I am just guessing here but the CTX probably represents one of the largest investments in engineering and tooling we have seen in a consumer detector...

    Bit the bullet

    Hi, Been absent from the forums for a long time as I have been busy on projects, but have decided to get out and about again. I had an E-Trac but decided to sell it when the CTX came out. Again, got busy on stuff so only finally laid down the money yesterday and got my new CTX 3030. It is still...

    Please listen

    Detector companies bug me. I can spec out a perfect detector I know I would buy so I know others would buy, and I know the technology exists. My perfect VLF gold machine would be similar to the White's DFX. Dual frequency with the ability to run both at once or either only. Usually that means a...

    Just got my F75 Special Edition

    I have not used it yet but just put my new F75 Special Edition together. I have owned a lot of detectors in the last 40 years, and I think I can say with no doubt this is the best looking detector I have ever owned. That is not something I usually think about. But this thing, all black with just...

    If you want a T2 for Christmas buy it NOW

    Hi, Well, this is getting nuts. There is a gold rush in Sudan. The people over there got it in their heads that only a Minelab GPX-4500 could find gold, and they have literally bought every one on the planet. It is almost impossible to get a GPX right now. Now apparently they have decided the...

    How to drive a metal detector company crazy!

    Hi, This relates to Dave's post on electrical interference. I've used and sold Fisher Gold Bug 2 detectors since they came out. Had the very first one in Alaska. So I've demonstrated them for many years in our store in Anchorage. Recently, I got a batch of new Gold Bug 2s, and when I set one...
