Americans coming here to buy their detectors? Good for the local dealers and a few tourist dollars spent, but they might try and poach our nuggets while here too. To arms fellow diggers!

There will be more info released tomorrow, hopefully this will be part of it.

At least we get it cheaper then the star spangled banner! This is in US$ http://www.nuggetshooter.com/minelab-gpz-7000.html

Good to see you with us brother!

Keep me posted on what you think. I'm in the market for one too ;)

As wolf said! But I'll add, there is so much ground out there it will take years before the 7000 covers any serious amount of it. If there is great success met with in the 7000 you'll have plenty of time to join in.

A little something I was privy to yesterday. Apparently during early testing the gpz was very unstable. It has been dumb down to get it to where it is now. Just imagine how good it will be if they can get it to work at its full potential! I'm sure Bruce will figure it out ;)

At least you got some colour. I tried digging on the hillside and never did any good. I did best in the creek bed. Try and find a deep crevice in the bed rock and follow it either way, sometimes going under the creek bank.

LMAO! I think everyone is suffering a bit of yellow fever :/ Yellow fever, known historically as yellow jack or yellow plague, is an acute viral disease. In most cases, symptoms include fever, chills, loss of appetite, nausea, muscle pains particularly in the back, and headaches. Symptoms...

I'd heard about the wonderful topaz from the Oban area of NSW. So I made the trip to the place and a scout around, I soon discovered much of the best looking country was on private land. I decided to find one of the property owners and they were happy to give me permission to camp and dig on...

Perhaps some of the last gold found by me and my 4500. W.A. 2014 Reef sheddings 99 bits

Unofficially official! I found out the price because someone was taking full payment. The dealers can give more info on the 18th and released on the 23rd.

From my experience, if your going to the Eastern GF of W.A. then the 4500 without a doubt. The 5000 has issues with the laterites over there. Going East, then the 5000 with its fine timings is awesome on specimen gold of which there is plenty still to be had.

I'm taking the plunge and forking out the $10700 for one(I love my wife :) ). I will give a straight and honest appraisal as I learn the ropes. I'll even show photos of what I find, if there is anything found!

The brochure! http://www.minelab.com/__files/f/261751/4907-0795-1%20GPZ%207000%20Brochure%20UK%20English%20%28FULL%208P%29%20WEB.pdf

Very nice! A smoky Quartz crystal from Moralla Vic.

I used to have a great book on Vic gemstones and locations. I lent it to a bloke and I've not seen the book or him since :rolleyes: There is diamonds found almost everywhere along the great dividing range, just very widely dispersed. Any idea of the rock types in the area?

Looks a lot like gemmy quartz. Some things need to be inspected in person to be sure though.

Thanks everyone again for the warmest of welcomes. This piece was my first low/high tone gold find. I actually walked away when a little voice said go back and dig it. It was in a pile of oversize thrown aside by the old timers, god bless them! I had one of those smiles for days you couldn't...

Bugga me it worked! A central Qld speci, contained 96 grams.
