    A Breathtaking Specimen!

    I have handled a lot of gold through the years, but this has to be one of the finest high grade specimens to date! It weighs 24.65 Grams, and was found with a metal detector in California. Brilliant gold with lots of Octahedron crystals. I can only imagine what the crystals might look like under...

    :detecting:A Few More Specimens

    I forget some times that not all of the members of this forum view the other forums I post on from time to time. I have received a couple PM's from members here, asking if I had any further luck in finding specimens. Here is a photo of a few more I found in 2009. GPX-4500 with a 12x15 DD...

    Big Specimens!:detecting:

    Dad and I have just been given permission to hunt some exclusive private claims. The ground in this area is awesome! It has been worked over by the old timers, but we did not see 1 dig hole, or any evidence of detecting the whole 2 days we were there. It rained until noon the first day we were...

    The Chicken Specimen :laugh:

    I was recently invited to go along on a gold detecting adventure with Gerry McMullen, or "Gerry's Detectors of Idaho" He put on a great trip with a wonderful group of guys, that are previous customers and friends. Our adventure took place in the pine trees of Oregon. The weather was pretty wet...

    Nevada's Golden Art :smile:

    Hi All, Just thought I would post a couple photos of some of the prettier Nevada gold nuggets I have found. These photos are not the best, but it's the closest my camera could get before going blurry. All of these nuggets were found swinging a Minelab PI with Nugget Finder coils. These nuggets...

    One And A Half Days In The Desert

    Hi All, I drove for 10 hours (round trip) back down to the desert in search of some more nuggets. I spent about 1-1/2 days swinging the coil :detecting: Did not find anything big, but I think I paid for the gas :wacko: I hope! Found 5 nuggets, and had a good time. Gus- 7.6 grams [attachment...

    Gold! on Labor Day Weekend :detecting:

    Its been 3 months since I was able to make it out into the great wide open on the Nevada desert. My father and I had a great time this weekend searching for that yellow metal. I ended the trip with 11 nuggets and Dad scored 4. Happy hunting this fall season to all. Gus- 16 grams, with the...

    Memorial Weekend Nugs :wave:

    Spent a wet-n soggy Memorial weekend down in Rye-patch. Made the detecting a little tougher, as if they are not hard enough to find down there as it is. They are getting pretty scarce. Dad and I got 3 nuggets a piece. Got to meet Digger Bob for the first time. He had a small army down there...

    :crazy: A Few Weekend Nuggets From Rye-Patch

    Got back last night from a short trip down to Rye-Patch. It was a hot SOB and made it difficult to concentrate on the soft mellow sounds my GPX-4000 was making. I have spent several minutes with each target over the last 3 outings and now believe I have my settings just right. Three of the...

    Dad Picks Up A Few In RP

    Hi Guys, My father took a short 2 day trip down to Rye-Patch last week and did a little detecting. He is not real computer savy, so I told him I would take a couple of photos and post them for him. The biggest one was 3.2 grams and he said that it was close to a foot deep. He did spend some of...

    Gave It An Acid Bath :blowup:

    I found this nugget last year, and before any cleaning was done It weighed in at 110 grams. After soaking it in CLR, Lime away, and scrubbing it several times with a toothbrush it weighed 93 grams. This piece has broken out of a rich vein and not traveled very far. The host rock is not very...

    A Few More From RP!! :rolleyes:

    We went back down to RP last week. The weather was not the best, but we made due. It was real windy, which made it hard to hear those faint signals. This trip I picked up 21 nuggets, for 23 grams. [attachment 71230 Rye-patch20Oct200720010.jpg] My take this year from RP in 3 separate trips...

    My biggest Rye-Patch nugget yet!!!:surprised:

    Went back down to Rye-Patch for another 3 day adventure last weekend. We hunted some new ground, well new to us. I started out in a nice looking little draw that was about 100 yards long. I did not start at the bottom of it, I crossed into it about 3/4 of the way up. Within 5 minutes I had a...

    Another Visit To Rye-Patch:thumbup:

    Last week Dad and I went back down to RP. We each had 2 days to detect, unfortunately they were not at the same time. Dad went down 2 days before me because I could not get off work. Then When I finally got down there we spent about 3 hours detecting together before he had to go home. Anyways...

    Labor Day Weekend Gold! :detecting:

    My father and I decided to spend our labor day weekend down in good old Rye Patch Nevada. It was hot for most of the trip. 1 day reached triple digits. I spent most of my time down in the washes where there are still some faint targets down deep. I ended up with 13 nuggets, and Dad just beat...

    Crushed my Specimen!!:tongue:

    Awhile back I found a big specimen rock with Gerry and gang. I had the specific gravity test done on it, and they said that it had 1.65 ounces of gold in it. I believed it too, because you could hear it at 3 feet with a 16" mono nugget finder coil on my gp-3000. The Rock to say the least was...

    A nice piece to the collection!!!

    I dug this baby from about 2 foot of pasture looking terain. She weighs in at 44.5 grams. I say she because I found a bigger one there. Just goes to show you that gold can literally be anywhere. I found it with my GP-3000 and it had a reverse sound to it, no different than a square head nail...

    THIS ONE IS ANYTHING BUT DIRTY!!!!

    My father found this nugget with me at his side... Well actually I was the one that got to pulled it out of the hole. It was a highlight in my life, and strengthened a bond between my father and I, as hugs of joy were given. It gave the best tune a GP-3000 could possibly give. .87 ounces at...

    Running gp-4000 in inverted mode

    Has anyone had success finding large deep nuggets running the gp-4000 in inverted mode? I guess my question is Can a large nugget that would normally have a reverse sound to it be heard easier running it in inverted mode, giving it a positive sound. I have found a couple large nuggets that had...
