L Prock Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) I picked up a used GM 1000 and was able to get out today for a few hours. First time defecting for gold and had a great time. Looking forward to the next time i can get away. I think I watched all of Bill's videos on the Gold Monster at least twice and was able to figure it quickly. I think I'm going to watch them again. Found some lead and a small piece of gold. Edited November 19, 2018 by L Prock 14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L Prock Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 Thanks everyone. So a question for the crowd. I was working the bed rock in a dry creek. There a few spots with water and when I swung over them you get a signal. Is that normal or can you turn the water out? Not sure if I explained that good enough. May rain so may get so more time to hunt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Have you ever tried to dig a target under water? Its the worst recovery effort ever. With that said, you could try balancing over the water. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent 10 mins digging in a puddle to find out it was a false signal, live and learn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nugget Shooter Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Congrats on the first nugget, and like Adam said try rebalancing above the water as it is a conductor and will give false signals sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
