Lunk 47 Posted November 3, 2014 Hi fellow prospectors,I've just begun my annual desert trek and have had a good start finding 1.25 ounces of nuggets in the last 8 days, including a sweet 28-grammer at 15 inches using the Minelab GPX 5000 with the 15x12 Commander mono coil. They came from a well known and thoroughly hammered placer area in Pershing County, Nevada, so it's still out there to be found by the persistent electronic prospector. Best of luck in the goldfields...- Lunk - 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

~LARGO~ 17 Posted November 3, 2014 Hey Lunkeroo,Very nice take so far! I see you are using that nice wide brimmed hat,something we talked about at breakfast last week!I think JP had a good idea doing that, it makes goodsense.I think when I start feeling better, I will do just like youhave done, getting some external speakers. I did buy some external speakers, sometime back, verysimilar to what you have on your harness, but there wasno way to mount them, except with zip ties and duct tape, or something similar, so I took them back and had to paya restocking fee, of all things... Montana Bob told me the mountingstuff should have come with them in the first place.It doesn't look like I will make this outing this week, prettybummed, as I would have liked to take my new SDC 2300on it's maiden cruise.Keep us updated on your progress, It's great to see thefamiliar hillsides in your photo!Gary/Largo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

~LARGO~ 17 Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) Hi Goldbug Ron,I was going down there, wanted to brush up on my GPX5000 that I have not been able to use for the past 2+ years, due to my wife's health reasons.Now I can't go, due to MY not feeling so shiny...I put the 5 I owed you under that rock out there, hope you found it...
