I also used game cams I'm the past and swear by them.
Recently I was granted permission in writing on a private land where I work. There is a family that owns it and plans to mine it as well. I helped set game cams to catch those who are without permission. We have gone as far as turning them (the law less prospectors) over the the local law enforcement. There is an on going problem in that area with theft and vandalism. So now we are able to positively ID some of these people.
I hate to be that way but it's best to teach a lesson.

Not a bad idea Scott. I think that would be a great way for some wives to drive themselves on a detecting trip. I've always thought a flying detector would be awesome.

Glad you got something there Norm. I hunted that other area for about an hour and a half and found a bunch of lead. However I did have a great time and look forward to seeing you guys again.

It seems I have to change my goals. After a 5.8 ouncer I now am headed to find a pounder. One pound isn't to much to ask for. I believe it's possible. I know I will do it. I keep telling myself and my wife I will bring home a pounder.
Cheers

Meh.... I'm 3rd season into the hobby and have already realized, when it's all boiled down, I've had much more success with my old second hand classic analog machines than with the hyped up bells and whistles machines I have purchased. I'm sure there are more than a few that will scramble for the latest and newest.
As for me, well.... I will just sit back and enjoy the drama LOL
I used to be the same way! But then I made almost ten times the money in less than half the time after I got the Zed.
Cheers

Oh my. I'm so glad I am on pain meds for the next month. It keeps me smiling and with a sh_t eating grin. I love watching everyone get antsy. I will be buying an other machine too but don't really care yet what one I get. I have five in the corner and can't even swing one. Yet I buy more! No worries. I'll keep collecting gold locators in hopes of collecting gold.??

Thank you strick! As a logger mist if my working life and a son of a sailor I heard and say a lot of things I shouldn't. I really try to not put them publicly where others read however if it's said by others and u report it then I'll try quotation marks more often.

Hey there Mrdingo21
I can't wait to use mine ether. I just walked in the door from surgery. Rotator cuff, posterior labrum tear, and bunch other garbage. All I could think about was my Minelab. Unfortunately I'll be out if the game for a few weeks. ??
Cheers and best of luck out there

I would like to know how that Robinson flies. Is it easy or are you super busy and stiff controls? Only asking because I'm slowly getting there. I'm looking at a few options.

Ok that's really cool. But I have to say one thing, THATS CHEATING!
Don't worry. If I had access I'd use one too!
Good on ya

I don't have a lot of falsing with the 19". What I do have is this killer muscle cramp in my lower back on left side. Goes all the way down to my leg. I call it the 19"cramp.

When replacing a handle on the pick or hammer watch the grain of the wood. At Tha hand end the grain should go from the head of the hammer to the claw end. Same on a pick it should go from the point to the spade. I have used this for my wedge axes that I fall timber with. It works. I've had the same handles near eight years. That should help a few folks out with fixings.

I'm going Fred. I'll be out someplace the next two days. I am having surgery on my left shoulder on Wednesday. And don't think I won't hire someone to swing for me. I have to be the ears and the settings. I think I'm going to brake them in on that zed with the 19". Then after a week of hunting I'll have them use the 14" to clean up the little ones.
Cheers

Stop it...you're making my fever flare up! Now I need to go dig something up...
I think that after this one I don't make fever flair up, I cause the fever!
And thanks to everyone for the positive feedback. It's great to have an audience or a cheering section.

Here's the end result. I love this pick!

I found a brand new medium sized older Walco and love it. My next favorite is one I hand forged out of spring steel super great picks. Here's a pic of a pick. This is the one I made by hand it's a six pounder but I swing one handed with it all day and it's not to much of a chore to use. It's narrow enough and heavy enough the way I made it that I don't have to swing but a few times to get depth.

Those are gloves that I bought for detecting they have three fingers open on both gloves. They are made by ironclad and they are called a framer glove.

I'm not doing it to hurt anyone. I'm only sharing photos. I love gold pictures and figure others would love to see some too.
Cheers

I found that I have more scratches and rub marks on the Zed after covering it. Anyone have anything on this topic I'd like to hear.
Have You Ever Pissed Off Your Prospecting Partner?

On more than one occasion I too have pissed off a mining partner. I just like when they come back and start getting in personal lives between you and your Spouse. It happened to me three times with the same person. Then it was over for good with that guy.
I do have friends that I love to take with me detecting however I don't find anything when they go. Though I do find that they soon lose interest after digging a thousand boot tacks and square nails.
I only go alone or with my wife now. I trust no one any longer. If it wasn't for her I wouldn't have half of what I have. She talked me into selling a dredge and buying my first minelab then a year later I got my ZED. I love them both more than they will ever know.
