Scott W. Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Hi Bill and Allwell I just had to get out today. went to a 10 yr patch thats been hit real hard. got there started with 16"NF on sensitive 2 turned the gain up 3 or 4 turns and hunted about 2hrs with no luck (small patch) I thought I was gonna get the skunk. well I turned arround and headed back to the truck. wait I'll put my gpx3500 in senitive 3. very noisy and turned the gain all the way down. things started to change, the machine got real stable and quiet. Then off I went started to dig a few hot rocks and some more bullet frags. half way back to the truck, bam got a good signal, dug down past the loose dirt. target louder and in the hard pack. YES! I knew I had one. yep About 8" down got this little thing.Here it is 12.2grs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldstudmuffin Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 The never ending patch... it's good to see your arm his healing, detecting is a lot better than psysical therapy. Don't tell John B. how deep it really was, I don't know if I can handle the drama! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
