Looking for a mentor 8282 5
Started by snow_dogg@msn.com
I purchased a GPX5000 last year. I've been to a 3 day training seminar, and plan on attending one more this summer. I'd like to find someone who wouldn't mind sharing some knowledge (GPX has been a little intimidating). I'm more than happy to cover fuel expenses and what not in trade for some valuable field training. I'm located in Boise, Idaho and don't mind travelling, even to eastern Oregon if need be. I'm a good listener and very motivated to become proficient with a GPX.

Metal detecting /Cache Hunting 7195 0
Started by frankn1937@hotmail.com
Well, in the Mid Atlantic area, raw gold in the ground is slim pickings so we fill in with some cache hunting for 'refined' gold.
I am presently looking for a cache from a stage robbery. I am working with a partner. He heard of an old robbery of a stage in the 1800's from some people who had looked for it. Thru research we found the stage stop where it occurred. The old stage stop, that was a tavern still stands. In the story, 2 guards on the stage heard that a robbery w...

Educational Event Suggestions for the club 8916 4
Started by bjohnson@goldprospectors.org
Hey guys,
Sounds like there are allot of questions about detectors and their settings. Does anyone have suggestions about outings we can set up with chapters/members/manufacturers to provide hands on instruction I know there are representatives from the detector manufacturers that would be interested in attending if we were to organize something. Any chapters already have events planned that might benefit if a manufacturer were willing to help organize and promote
Look forwar...

MD and Panning 10293 3
Started by worldavi@gate.net
I was just wondering if anyone out there that goes nugget shooting has ever panned the ground that the nugget was found in What was the result I always read about when running a dry washer or sluice run the MD over the tailings....but what about the opposite. i would think that the ground surrounding a nugget find may have a great chance of holding smaller gold that the MD can't pick up.

What's that sound? 15854 19
Started by aztrckr@gmail.com
Hi All, Thanks for reading. I am curious about what sounds you listen for on your detector when you are searching for nuggets I use a Fisher Gold Bug pro myself, but I am still searching for that first nugget. I thought maybe if other people can explain what sounds they listen for while nugget shooting that it will help other people like myself who is still learning.

Detector Value per dollar. 6496 0
Started by frankn1937@hotmail.com
Let me start by saying I have been detecting since the '70s. I admit, I am mainly a cache hunter but I have prospected on GPAA claims across America and other sites. I am a GPAA gold life member.
OK now to the nitty gritty. For prospecting, I use a Whites Surfmaster PI. I have been using this same detector for 14 years. I paid under $1k for the detector. Now the question is, is it good enough to use for prospecting Well, it has paid for itself many times over. I also use it...
