The pinpointer really is a help especially when using a big coil. -
First Minelab SDC2300 Nugget!
dick ward replied to Chris Gholson's topic in AZO's: Metal Detecting & Gold Prospecting Forum
Way to go Chris! Your set up & ground balance vid shows this to be an easy to use machine. Might be a great first PI detector, easy transition from a VLF. -

Soil timings vs. coil size
dick ward replied to oregon bob's topic in AZO's: Metal Detecting & Gold Prospecting Forum
Good topic. I use a 4000 and need some help on set up & timings for my 25 inch NF coil. I just don't seem to get consistent results. Any ideas? Thanks, Dick -

Very nice finds. I'll bet Frank & Terry got all the meteorites. They are the king and queen of meteorites ! I have never found one, got to get over there and try again soon. -
Great week in Q
dick ward replied to beatup's topic in AZO's: Metal Detecting & Gold Prospecting Forum
WHAT A GREAT POST Thank you! A very informative post with really nice pictures. Thank you for sharing the information about how you changed your prospecting technique. I tend to get in a rut just like you mentioned and will try to follow your lead. What kind of detector/ & coil do you normally use? Trying something new sure worked well for you, hopefully we can all learn from your success. Congratulations on the nice nuggets!! Dick Ward -
garrett atx
dick ward replied to millymoy's topic in AZO's: Metal Detecting & Gold Prospecting Forum
Good call Steve, we paid the big bucks for all that sensitivity so smile and enjoy it. I learned in a hurry when first using my GPX with a 25" coil. A longer shaft helps but, you MUST get rid of all the metal you can. From shoes, keys & coins in pockets, belt buckle - it all has to go. Do you carry a pick over your shoulder?? Swing the coil to that side and you will hear that too. I even hear the metal frame on my glasses if I lean my head over the coil when trying to find a target in my plastic scoop. Now all we have to do is find some gold to swing over! Good Luck -
