It's my first post, :-) so, i went in New Zealand last year, and i did gold panning in the Queenstown area, and found very few gold. But i was very happy !!!!! I use metal detector in France since 23 years ( mostly for antic coins ), i started with a fisher 1235X, and i get many other detectors, the two last ones, a Minelab gp 5000, and now i use a Deus from xp, a very strong machine. ( not as strong as a gp 5000 but on old fields the gp 5000 bips every times ) I back in Queenstown in February, to do some gold panning, and try the Deus metal detector. If some guys want join to me, and try the Deus, it will be great and fun. Hope to meet some friends there, Best Regards, Jim Labenne

If I found a nugget over 1 gm, I swear to do a bungy jump ! ( a small bridge to start ... ) And ready for fight with the sandfly, when i was gold pannig on the Wakamarina they killed me last year ... Very Best Regards, Jim
