"What an experience with my NEW GP extreme"

Gerry in Idaho writes: What a way to start the season off! A brisk early spring day with plenty of glowing sun, a new gleaming GP Extreme, and thoughts of the elusive GOLD NUGGETS??? Now if it could only become true? Well here is the proof that dreams do come true.. with my freshly broken in GP Extreme, the one I call "Blue." These nuggets were found in Northern Nevada on the first trip out with my new GP Extreme.

What smooth operation, great sensitivity, and even more volume than with my other machines. I have come to like this new machine very much and after some extensive "in the field" testing in undisturbed ground on "undug" signals, my conclusion is that I will swing nothing less than a GP Extreme. I realize that many of you like your machines and found plenty of gold with them, (I have too) but please folks, YOU ARE MISSING GOLD!  Try one for yourself and notice the big difference. The GP is smoother, has a louder, stronger signal and it definitely goes DEEPER on smaller to mid size gold nuggets. I don't think so (I KNOW SO).. If you want to stick with your other gold detector and don't mind missing gold, then I am sure you don't mind telling me were you have been. I'll be glad to share some photos of what you've  missed. See you in the field and Remember: "Swing It Slow, Keep it Low"

Good Luck.
