metal detecting in AZ

[lost pollack]

This is my first posting so forgive any errors for my ignorance of protocol. I live in the Phoenix area and would like to purchase a metal detector. What is the best MD for my area that would target gold nuggets and meteorites? If that's even possible. I have a budget between $500-$1000. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

..........If you are in the Phoenix area go to ......Promack treasure hunting at 940 W.

I've heard the GMT is good for gold & meteors, I bought one, but still waiting to get & try out at the end of the month.

A GMT would be my choice for that area.

I would get a Tesoro lobo supertraq. Great gold detector and a great price.

A posting from another forum,where his 4500 minelab in Australia could not function properly due to the soil content (trash).So he borrowed a GMT and pulled 30 oz of gold.I would say the GMT paid for it's self

Were did he find the gold in Australia or Az..... ?

It was found in Australia,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,The point is,,,The capabilities of the Whites GMT gold detector
If you joint the G.P.A.A. you can go to there Stanton AZ claim and prospect at a claim that is KNOWN for having Gold Nuggets.


Have you gone to the gold nugget section in this forum? They probably would suggest a GMT or Gold Bug 2 .

Promack will show you what is the best all round and ease of use detector for your budget.

When i went to Promack in Apache jct. they gave out a lot of good info. and they also liked the Tesoro Lobo Super Traq. a good bunch there........
