I have been a nugget shooter for about 30 years now. What I see that ALL, especially Mine Lab, way over price. Keep buying at these prices and with not surprise prices keep going up.

Apparently you've never heard of the Nokta Gold Kruzer. Compares favorably with the Gold Monster 1000 (in some areas, such as waterproofing, better), with a 61kHz vlf frequency and highly tuned modes. And it's nearly half the price of the GM 1000.

If there's nuggets, there's fine gold. I don't swing for bling. I scope, wash, & weigh.

I'm in Florida, started 10 months ago with used whites coin master. Brother in law gave me old school whites IDX couple months later. Then husband bought me xterra elite. Then himself a legend 2. He just won a manticore and wants me to start using his legend 2. Just found my first gold on labor day with my xterra on the beach. Hoping to find more.
