I met and chatted with you after your Placerville Prospector lecture. (Platypus) I asked you about Chicken and you recommended your forum. I read your 2014 and 2013 reports. I'll be visiting Chicken in late June. I have a few specific questions. 1. I have a GPX also. How did you recharge the batteries at your camp? What settings did you run? Did you use Sharp Timing during all of your detecting? 2. Did you use a rain cover on your GPX or F75? 3. Do you have experience with the F70, how does it compare with the F75? (I found a possible F70 deal.) 4. I have a Gold Bug 2. Should iron discrimination be run at minimum so as not to miss small gold. Could the 6 inch GB2 elliptical coil be used on an F70? 5. You stated at Jack Wade you drove on dirt roads. You have a Toyota 4 Runner. Is a 4wd required for those roads? 6. The Public Area for Jack Wade runs along both sides of Wade Creek. Is the creek generally fordable in waders? Are both sides accessible for prospecting? Thanks, Vic
