Today i was in Monroe washington at the gold show.

I took all my bitty nuggets in my little nugget containers to see what metal detector would pick them up and sound off.

Stopped on the first nugget, the smallest one i brought with me.

Whites Goldmaster GMT, i am determined to save up the capitol and get me this one. it sounded off before the nugget got 6 inches from the small coil. i was very pleased.

phish,
Indeed the fellow at the show may have been using you however as Jim H. has indicated the GMT finds gold!

Attached are two pictures of the gold my GMT has been responsible for locating. 185_8517.webp191_9174.webp
The pile on the half dollar took some serious digging and boulder moving with the GMT being used to detect piles of rough sample. The piles it did not go zip zip on were left while the piles it did go zip zip to were processed further. Your looking at "further" on top of a U.S. silver half dollar,

The second is gold the GMT found outright Underneath Bedrock! That gold is on top of a U.S. dime.

As you can see it finds larger gold as well as small to darn small gold. Like any other detector or piece of prospecting gear you buy you will need to learn how to use it and even then it could be a while till you find gold with a detector but if you put the coil over gold that is within detectable range of the GMT it will tell you it is there.

Woof & Steve have provided you with some good reading and like them I suggest you read both articles as they will be of help to you. Best of luck to you in your searching for gold as well as a detector...............63bkpkr
 

I would really like a copy of Gold Prospecting with a VLF metal detector. My email is mad4wrecks@gmail.com.

Thank You! Tom
 

If anyone would like a copy of Gold Prospecting with a VLF Metal Detector in Microsoft Word let me know. I have enlarged the text and when printed its on full sheets. I had trouble printing the PDF to make a booklet. From page to page the pages were out of order and text was up side down. This copy is much easier to read. I can send it as MS Word or PDF.
AZV, I'll take a PDF file. Thanks. I have the original but the pages are not in order, as yours. terry_cieszki@yahoo.com TTC
 

I would Love one

Also theres a book called Advanced NuggetShooting "How to prospect for gold with a metal detector" By : James A. Mcculloch
Its good reading :goldbar:

Two more books belong in every "gold" prospecting library... "Follow the Drywashers, The Nuggetshooter's Bible" by Jim Straight and "Fists Full of Gold" by Chris Ralph. The first goes through virtually everything about detectors in one writing and the other book has an AWESOME section on the geology of gold and its ores. You gotta get them! TTC
 

As you've been told, air tests and ground tests aren't even close to the same animal. The minerals in the ground, interference, etc., etc., make all of the difference.

All the best,

Lanny
 

Terry & Tom, check your email as the copies of that file has been sent in Word and PDF...
 

The GMT is a great gold detector on the VLF side. Lots of coil options and a great entry level unit overall pard...if'n I had to choose betwixt the GMT and Gold Bug 2 I'd marry the Bug.

Send me the nuggets so I can check my detector
 

The Nokta FORS Gold also detects my hands, I have to use a plastic scoop otherwise it sounds off.
My GB2 like already said, did this too.
 

As long as you are emailing.... Word would be great! Thanks!!!!!
