hi mate had a great time with the other day with you your a great teacher learned a lot of skills that would have taken along time to master so thanks could not have learnt all the tricks on the 7000 myself great job the wife and i went to a tenement after a was rewarded with a few nuggets so thanks we’ll worth the private tutoring
Thanks for the great feedback mate. Really glad you are already seeing the results. The only way is up now my friend... towards that top 5%. All the best. Always a pleasure to teach someone who is keen to learn. Regards John
Awesome video thank you. I have a GPZ and recon i am missing the more subtle signals. Your video has me thinking about all the targets i may have missed in the past. Time to get back out there!
Hey mate, fantastic well put together video, good to see you pulling up them nugs, if i can ever upgrade to a decent pulse machine I'll come out west for a trip. Keep it up mate, video has inspired me, I'm off this weekend for a scratch now.
Get yourself a Doc's Detectors "Gold Screamer"..... You will be impressed ! ..... Cool Video...... It will sound just like after you dug 6-8 inches....... Screaming ..... If you hear a weak signal when you first find the nugget using a Doc's gold screamer it means that it will be like over 3 feet deep ....Ha ....
I don't believe in enhancers or boosters... never have... in my opinion, and this is just my opinion (and I'm sure there will be many who disagree) I find it presumptuous to think you can improve on the worlds best technology (Minelab) and essentially to rely on a TOOL instead of your own proficiency which, if developed, will tell you if you need to dig a 3 foot hole in the first place. Regards Aussie
@@AussieBlokeProspector you don't understand until you use one specially my new one by steelPHASE SP01......what a difference and say goodbye to headphones...... I can detect a .07 nugget at 6 to 8 inches without a problem and it makes the threshold so smooth......
@@AussieBlokeProspector Once you try one, you will never go back.....Doc's is good, but the the steelPhase sp01 is a monster. You can detect the smallest gold flake and it makes the detector run smooth on heavy mineralized grounds..... They work, listen to how smooth it runs on a (RX gain of 12) and (stabilizer of 3) with a 12 o clock threshold.......ua-cam.com/video/DD45_Ezords/v-deo.html
Hi John.. Well that’s truly amazing find.. I would of bet money that it was going to be at least 14 gram GOLD NUGGET.! That truly shows that the operator is truly experienced.. Thanks for sharing your tips.. Cheers Famo59. Tony.👍⛏🍺🇦🇺
Had a similar signal today with my 4500 14 inch elite coil in a junky area it was just a whisper nilly walked away the 7000 would of screamed at it by the way you found the 1.5 grammar it turned out to be 13.3 grams at 18 inches best bit i have found , will go back and try again in the same spot i can't believe how much is left by operators even with the best new detectors it takes skill and patients just like your doing 70 percent operator skill 30 percent detector .most would got bitten by a bug scratched their back and forgot lost sight walked away. .
This makes me want to cry a little, I was visiting family in remote north QLD, and a friend let me borrow their 7000, I picked up noise exactly like that and didn't even consider looking at it, sad thing is I dug up a nugget that broke when I hit it with the pick would have weighed 2 grams. Thanks for sharing, I want to get out and detect again but family commitments and budget just don't allow for it.
@@AussieBlokeProspector l am looking forward to having my own gear, I love finding gold, I've got the fever, though I do enjoy the scrub, being out there, so peaceful.
Cheers mate. The settings I use are the result of 100s of hours of testing on targets left in the ground, and therefore not general knowledge. In case you are interested, I do offer tuition on the ZED ( I teach every thing I know and have discovered about unlocking the potential of the 7000)... for more details you can go here www.eurekaprospecting.com.au/56/metal-detecting-tuition
Sir, had it not been for the wildfires and now the virus, I would have ventured to your great country to use my Zed. The silver lining is by waiting, maybe, in the future I can sign up for your personal tuition session. Thanks for the informative videos.
@@AussieBlokeProspector would you be willing to share your setting for someone that lives in another county that will never come to oz land and take all your gold? or take a class, unless you can do remote teaching?
Hi Aussie, I really enjoy watching your videos and find every one Exciting and educational, especially the detecting, GPS stuff and Tengraph. I'm new to "gold prospecting" but my interest began on the beaches of Sydney looking for coins and valuable's on a old Minelab X-Terra 30 which i still have. I will purchase a second hand 5000 very soon and head out for the first time. Ive gone over all the things to take when prospecting alone and studied the Tenement procedure's in WA. You must get this a lot, may i ask you what area's in the gold fields to you like to prospect and what you recommend taking on a 7 day trip alone. Thank you very much for all your videos i really feel the Aureka moment from them.
I'm glad you find the videos exciting and educational. I spend most of my time in Central Gold Fields. Far more good ground then I will ever cover in a 1000 lifetimes. I have a checklist on my website for WA trips... you might find it helpful. you can see it here: www.eurekaprospecting.com.au/187/wa-prospecting-trip-essentials Regards Aussie
Cheers. Sorry but I don't share my settings to the general public, but will do so for those who seek out tuition. You can find out about my Tuition here: www.eurekaprospecting.com.au/56/metal-detecting-tuition. Regards Aussie
Hi John just came back from Laverton after a long weekend and hired a 4500, didn’t have much luck as the area was flogged. I would say it definitely would have been more prosperous with the 7000.
Totally agree mate. 2 years ago, I went back to an area which I had smashed with a 4500 and a 5000 for 5 years consecutively, convinced that there was not much left. This time I had a 7000 and I shit you not, I pulled well over 500 nuggets from that same area with the Zed. I was absolutely gob-smacked and stunned at just HOW GOOD the ZED was. Regards Aussie
Hi mate thanks for posting ,what are your thoughts on the minelab gpx 4500 and the new 5000 ? I am going to buy one of those but unsure as to what one i should get ✌️✌️
Great videos. You seem to find a lot of nuggies with that 7000. Do you metal detect nuggets for a living? Also, have you ever come across anyone using a Garrett Infinium LS out there? It is a PI detector and I am curious if it does well in the Aussie gold fields. Keep finding those nugs. Cheers.
I certainly do...a bloody good machine mate. I had a mate years ago who had an infinium, and he never found gold with it. If you are coming over here, get the best. Regards Aussie
Hey John, a guy on one of the forums by the name of Bogene kicked it off years ago hence "Bogene" settings and people are using it on the 7000's especially when EMI is bad etc, low threshold (5), max sensitivity.
Siberian greetings. Tell me please what metal detector will do better for WA, e-trac or garret ATX, GPX/GPZ is too expensive for me. Thank you in advance.
Not trying to be rude, but if you are going to go to the expense of traveling to WA from the other side of the world, it seems unwise to bring a low end machine. You can't cut corners with Gold Prospecting, you will only waste your time and money. I'm not going to suggest either of the machines you mentioned. Save up..get a GPX or GPZ, then come over and your time and effort will be rewarded. Regards Aussie
Would areas that have been gone over heaps be detected again with a goldmonster 1000 if you can't afford the 7000? Or the 1000 wouldn't do the job as good for the small stuff?
Good question mate. I personally, wouldn't use a 1000 in a conventional manner on a flogged gold field to try to get the real small stuff missed by others. The SDC would be a far better machine for that. Being a VLF Machine the Monster would struggle with either hot rocks and lack of depth. Regards Aussie
The settings I use are the result of 100s of hours of testing on targets left in the ground, and therefore not general knowledge. However, I will give you this... low threshold is the key for clarity of signal.

Thanks, I learnt something new.
You keep educating us and this vid is no exception. Thank you so much for pointing out simple things that would definitely have gone unnoticed. Cheers
Cheers mate..glad to help out. Regards Aussie
Great lesson the amount of times ive walked away from a target like thinking it was ground noise FAAARF

Great video. Answered the exact conundrum I am having with my Z.
Ground noise test and elimination helped immensely.
Cheers mate
Glad to have helped. Regards Aussie
Good to see the flogged out ground still giving up its yellow. Thanks for the vid and enjoy your prospecting 👍👍
Cheers mate. You're welcome. Regards Aussie
As always thanks for sharing your adventures. I learn so much. 👍 awesome!
Really glad to help out mate. Regards Aussie
I wish that I had ground that was that easy to dig. Good explanation of the situation.
spectacular channel!!!one more subscriber, thanks. João from Brazil.
Thanks and welcome. Regards Aussie
some truly awesome finds, great video, thanks
Thanks mate. Glad you liked it. Regards Aussie

I dream of signals like that. Despite the price, I still think the the 7000 is the best machine to walk with.
I love my 5000, but I love my 7000 more. Regards Aussie

What settings are you running in this video mate. 👍🏽
Hey champ what settings you running ,its super quiet
So what are all your setting??
Great videos. You seem to find a lot of nuggies with that 7000. Do you metal detect nuggets for a living? Also, have you ever come across anyone using a Garrett Infinium LS out there? It is a PI detector and I am curious if it does well in the Aussie gold fields. Keep finding those nugs. Cheers.

Hey John, great job, just a squeak on the threshold now n then, are you running Bogene settings on your Z ?
Well picked up re the threshold... but I'm not quite sure what "Bogene" means. Regards Aussie

@@AussieBlokeProspector thanks mate 👍
What sensitivity were you running
Can anyone tell me would the Add 2300 pick that up at the ft deep Mark 1g??
I have picked up a 6 grammer at a foot with an SDC, but I doubt if it would hear a 1 grammer at a foot.
how can I know am detecting hot rocks .
if you dont mind me asking, is there any chance that you may be a driving instructor ?
I was / am a Driving and Servicing Instructor for Australian Light Armoured Vehicles
What’s the 7000 like to pin point, I don’t like digging bigger holes than I have to..Cheers
It takes a bit practice but you can utilise the markings on the coil to pin point to a certain degree. Regards
Hello mate. I noticed your threshold level is super low. Is that how you always run? Was that in general and difficult?
The settings I use are the result of 100s of hours of testing on targets left in the ground, and therefore not general knowledge.
