Thoroughly Enjoying your video's mate well done....I am going to invest in a GPZ 7000. I'll have to get the Highbanker out over the Winter and get more Gold to sell. :)
J Dean Cheers JD. I found a really good looking 1/2 ouncer the other day, ill post that one up soon. Its been my favourite so far, really unique. Glad you like the vids. Cheers.
Lovely nugget, had my adrenalin pumping watching, expecting it to be bigger but never be disappointed with finding them that size. Nice clear video interested to know what gear / settings for upload. cheers Peter.
peter Tee Cheers Peter, i was like you and getting pretty excited towards the end. As you say, its never disappointing pulling them out of the ground. Im not sure of your last question... are you after the detector settings? cheers
oh ok, i just use my mobile phone and the youtube editor. If my channel gets bigger ill take it a little more seriously, but for now its just a bit of fun. Cheers.
Cheers Mate! I/m up late reading a master thesis from 1970 of an Area that holds promise imo exposed meta...everything w/ volc. contact zone mileand half wide...also waiting for the last night of MOTOGP testing Live from Qatar...starts in an hour.......they were at phillip island testing 2 weeks ago.....but they start at nite under the lights of the arabian desert.....220mph on a motorcycle..! I posted this vid up earlier on the forum....as well as a diff. vid on snakes in the spring.....Cheers Mate,,,,,JD
That hole was so deep... you just about could order Chinese take out!! lol I just bought one of these machines today... slightly used... great deal.. can’t wait!
Nice Jay love your videos I'm in the west of Melbourne & am completely new. I want one of these detectors I know the price but are they easy to use ? Would you consider a few paid lessons to get me rolling
+bigray27 Gday, i would recommend an SDC2300 for your first machine. Its a great intro detector, not too expensive and youll always find a nugget if yore in the right area. Sorry mate, but i dont do lessons. I need them myself sometimes!! All the best and good luck. JG
+soaronasoundwav Gday mate, the bloke who makes my cover has unfortunately stopped making them. I think you can get covers on eBay, or failing that, i think miners den have them. Good luck. JG
+huge .e After a clean it weighed in at 13.2g. I thought it was going to be 4 times that but ended up being flat. Oh well, at least it wasn't a lump of iron. Haha. All the best.
Hi Jay, great clip and nugget there mate. I also just purchased a 7000 for this seasons trip to WA. Be great if you checked my few clips out of my first season in WA last year too. cheers mate, all the best and I look forward to seeing more of your handy work. Garry.
+Garry Irwin Gday Garry. I had a look at your vids. Well done on your finds last year. Looks like you got a productive spot and will be interesting to see how the 7 compares to the 5 out there. All the best for 2016 and lets hope theres's a big one waiting for ya. Cheers. JG
Nenad @ Phase Technical Gday Nenad. Yeah General defiantly had a few inches over High Yield. Makes you wonder which setting should be your go to..... i think I'm going to use more general from now on.
+TheStogie0102 Excellent. Its a great machine. Make sue you update the software. Although this may already be done being a new machine. Let me know how you go with it. I always love hearing how people are doing out there in the gold fields. Cheers and good luck. JG
18" approx for a half ox. My old modified SD2000 with a after market 11" eliptical could find that at about a foot. How long is it going to take to pay off that remaining $9000? The nugget was flat so there is no real test here except for. THERE IS EXTRA DEPTH with a Z
Great nugget, great dig. I went to my cousins farm on the weekend at maryborugh and found nothing, I think I am doing something wrong or don't know how to use the machine correctly, I had a training day, but I think I can't work out the signals of gold as you seem to hear them with all those sticks on the ground which is impressive. Thanks for showing another great nugget. GL and HH. Cheers Daniel
Tanker 333 Gday Daniel, Thats no good about your cousins farm. But don't loose faith, if you put in the time and research, i promise you'll find the yellow stuff. Id recommend starting very basically with factory settings with audio smoothing off (these are still VERY powerful settings) Then get a few different size fishing sinkers and bury them at different depths, just get a ear for the different target responses. The longer you use this machine, the more you'll get to understand whats its telling you. I know that sounds a bit wishy washy, but you'll get it sooner or later. Let me know how you go with your finds. Cheers.
My cousins farm has gold on it, he said he let a local guy on there and he got some big nuggets up to 16grams, so it just me not knowing how to use the 5000 correctly or setting it up incorrectly from the start. I'll try those factory settings, but I am definitely doing something wrong with the setup of the machine cause it seems to make a signal every time I swing it the coil. I'll try burying some sinkers and see how it goes. Thanks for the encouragement as well!!as it get overwhelming when your trying to work it all out and what to listen for. Mate your videos are the best on UA-cam and the quality is outstanding, they are very informative and you seem so calm when you're pulling out these huge nuggets. I wanted to get the 7000 but my wife had a heart attack when I told her how much it was!! plus the fact I haven't found many nuggets with the 5000 and I was lucky she let me buy that!! Hope you post some new videos soon cause I'll be watching. HH and GL.
Tanker 333 Shit, sorry mate i thought you had a GPZ. Iv never owned a 5000 so i won't be much help with its settings. But the 5000 has been around for a while so there is heaps of info on them. I believe Jonothan Porter has an instructional DVD on the GPX5000 so that might worth a look. If youve got a spare second, go to Coilteck in Maryborough or Miners Den in Bendigo, I'm sure they'll be able to help you out. From what youre saying it may not be ground balanced properly, also make sure you have no metal objects near the coil, like steel capped boots etc, i learnt that the hard way. lol. Glad you like the vids, more coming soon. Keep me posted on your progress. Cheers.
Yes indeed, normally i do. This nugget weighed 13g... should have been a lot more, i couldn't believe it when i saw it! so flat!!... Oh well.... better then noting thats for sure. Cheers, JG
I'm not too impressed with Australian metal detecting; it's kind of a joke. Ever see an Australian dig up a piece of trash? I mean, in a place where you get a signal and you dig it up and it's a gold nugget, and never anything else---what's so hard about that? gold in Australia can obviously be found with a $150 metal detector---what do you need a zed for?You have no trash. Wow, I'm impressed. You got dirt and gold, and that's supposed to be hard to find the gold?! Try finding a nugget in the Sierra Nevada like that and you're in for a rude awakening. We have square nails and rusted metal from the 49ers everywhere. You're gonna dig up hundreds of pieces of junk and rusted metal the size of dandruff permeating the soil. And I own a zed. In california I've seen more gold found regularly with a fisher gold bug. It's the small pinponter coil (which minelab doesn't offer!) that works best in our gold country. I have two minelabs: the 3030 is excellent and but the zed has been disappointing. I wish I'd bought a fisher gold bug 2.
Why would he want to put a video of finding metal trash? Of course most of the time that is what we find in Australia. I don't get your whining. He films everything and deletes the trash videos. Who wants to look at them, nobody. Gold has been mined here since 1800's. They lived on the gold fields and what do you think? Everywhere we find their nails, rusty tin, old cans, boot tacks, horseshoes, etc.etc. A lot of the known areas have been gone over multiple times, you need a detector that will give signals deeper up to 3 feet and that is the GPZ 7000. Or if you want pinpointer get a 5000 with a sadie coil. Sell your zed and get an inferior detector just quit whining.
Jay review of some great digs" rewatch on this one again" You're Number 1 in my book" BEST DETECTORIST! Cheers from 0c Idaho, thats warm! jd
What camera are you using J? your videos are very clear and very professional made.
Brilliant work and result!
Willo's Australian coin, relic and gold detecting Cheers Willo.

Excellent video, what camera are you using for your videos, perfect focus. And beautyful nugget.
Giancarlo Cipolla I use my iPhone 6. Its not the best, but saves me lugging around another piece of equipment. Cheers.

Thanks for sharing. You still prospecting ?
Nice piece, well done! Are you running audio smoothing on?
PaddyWackem Gday Mate, smoothing was off in this one. Cheers.

Gday Jay, mate i noticed you had a cover on your gpz7000. Where bouts did you get this? Im thinking about getting one for mine, Cheers
+soaronasoundwav Gday mate, the bloke who makes my cover has unfortunately stopped making them. I think you can get covers on eBay, or failing that, i think miners den have them. Good luck. JG
Jay, how many grams did end up being?
Cheers and nice digging

No real difference after you kicked all the litter away, but General definitely punched through those sticks a bit better! Nice work
Nenad @ Phase Technical Gday Nenad. Yeah General defiantly had a few inches over High Yield. Makes you wonder which setting should be your go to..... i think I'm going to use more general from now on.
got a 7000 last week. yet to use it . good stuff

Why does it constantly make noise?

How about a clean and weigh in at the end
Yes indeed, normally i do. This nugget weighed 13g... should have been a lot more, i couldn't believe it when i saw it! so flat!!... Oh well.... better then noting thats for sure. Cheers, JG
