mn90403 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 So, you have a deep gold detector (PI) and a small gold detector (VLF) and some extra coils. You don't have a Quad or a 4x4 but you have a truck that will get you to most of the 'spots' that are near a good trail.What would you buy or spend $7000-8000 on next so that you find more gold?1. A new detector?2. A Quad?3. Gold finding lessons?4. New Computer?5. New Dry Washer?6. What is on your list first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twink Monrad Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I would just buy lots of gas so that I could follow Mitchel around and find the big gold/quartz rocks that he might miss.Twink Monrad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonoran Dave Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Utv... Access is much easier and faster than a full size vehicle. I can carry a passenger and all the stuff needed for a day in the field. It will go most anywhere a goat will...without the smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I'm "detectorless" I'd try finding somebody with a "lightly used" SDC2300 & compliment it by building a "vac pack"...then I'd fix or replace the fridge in my motorhome....since I'd still have a good chunk of cash, I'd probably sell the Bronco & try to find a smaller pickup in 4WD that would be tow able with the motorhome...Rokon in the back of the pickup...I'd be ready.

garimpo Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Personally I would probably head to WA ... Camp out for 3-4 weeks! Nullagine, WA area. In Perth buy a good used Toyota Ute. 4x4, extra diesel tank, 5- five gallon water jugs only use for cooking and drinking. A lot of baby wipes for you nightly bath. A lot of people die there every year because they run out of water. A good GPS ( or two) and plenty of batteries. Be ready to do a lot of walking and every direction looks the same. You'll learn real soon what Spinafix is, bad stuff but has gold under it. A good tool box and several rock chisels and a good sledge hammer. A good tent is a must unless you can sleep in the Ute.

Caliche Chris Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I would get a brand new 2014 Yamaha tw200. I need a good bike to explore on and the ct90 isn't cutting it. I usually end up walking it home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisski Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Bulletproof my F250 6.0 liter so I have faith that when I turn the key seven miles off a paved road, down a wash, that it'll start and not leave me stranded on a 110 degree day. If any's left over put it towards a Rokon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Dorado Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) More gems so I could double the money to $14K, then buy a new GPZ 7000 and have $7k left for an extended stay in OZ or Brazil Edited February 15, 2015 by El Dorado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
