Big Valley Metal Detectors

Big Valley Metal Detectors Biggest little metal detector shop in the west. All major brands metal detectors, gold mining supplies, books, maps, digging tools and more can be found here,

Big Valley Metal Detectors and Fine Optics is a local business that carries treasure hunting and prospecting supplies, as well as a nice selection of binoculars and scopes. I stock all of the major metal detector lines, such as Minelab, Garrett, Tesoro, Brand X (you'll have to call me to find out which major one that is, since they do not allow "national advertising"), Angus MacKirk sluices, Coilt

ek coils, Lesche diggers and much, much more. You'll find me to be one of the best stocked detector shops in the west. You can either call for hours so you can come in and try out the various demos I have and then purchase what you want on the same day, as I do carry most of what I sell in stock, or you can access my website to place an order. If you are my local customer, you can count on unrivaled product support, which, especially in the detecting field, is very important. Many metal detectors end up shoved into the back of a closet after the first few times out, because there are many little nuances to tuning your detector to work optimally in the particular ground you are hunting. The recent addition of quality binoculars and scopes, portable batteries and more to my lineup of products has increased the level of service I am able to provide my outdoor oriented customers, and I could not be more pleased to carry Hawke's excellent optics.

WHAT'S ON MY MIND????

THIS!!!! Minelab metal detectors has a new prospector out, the GPZ8000....

The GPZ 8000™ is Minelab’s newest flagship gold detector, engineered for advanced performance in challenging ground. Z-Set concentric toroidal coils offer three coil options to match detection style, target size and ground conditions. Ground optimized detection delivers maximum depth on both small and large gold, with Echo Sonic Pro™ audio providing rich layered sound and enhanced stereo separation for clear target definition. A new level of depth, control, and adaptability for serious prospectors.

Facebook, you ask me what is on my mind???

THIS!!

These 2 guys came over from Hawaii for a week's vacation, which was to include prospecting for gold here in the nearby Sierra Foothills.
They called me to set up an appointment because they wanted to buy a metal detector that would suit their needs. After discussing their goals with them, I set them up with a GoldMonster, from Minelab.
Cool thing about this whole situation actually was that one of these guys actually does wood-carving. As you can see, he actually carved his own scoop (definitely something most detectorists need) for the trip!

They're heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere.....

One of my new prospecting customers who just bought a Minelab GoldMonster 1000 had been out without any real success, but he was running around trying to recover finds with a rockhammer.

He was CLEARLY running around with THE WRONG TOOL!!!!

I suggested to him that the proper recovery tools are just as important as the right metal detector.
Thankfully, I had just received a shipment of the legendary Apex picks, so we selected one for him yesterday, and voilà, he sent me a picture of a spectacular gold nugget he found today.

THANK YOU APEX PICKS!!!
