What Detector Did You Buy In 2018 And Why?
Bryce replied to Ridge Runner's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
Does the Minelab Pro-Find 35 pinpointer count? Bought it to complement the Gold Monster I bought last year to speed up target recovery. Overall does a great job but tends to flip out at max power and keep beeping away until lowering the power or restarting it. -
MTB Rider, good to know there's another Yukoner on this forum. I'm also in Whitehorse.

Unquestionably my favorite Newfie comedy skit.

Pounds Of Gold! Recovery
Bryce replied to idahogold's topic in Gold Panning, Sluicing, Dredging, Drywashing, Etc
Thanks :) Loved the Q&A throughout the video. Best part was when he fired the guys and hired women. There is some proof that females are better machinery operators because they are less Rammy. -

Is this a one piece shaft? -
A Slight Delay Before I Go Detecting

Sick setup! :) Love the chain saw mount! -
Gold Pan Suggestions
Bryce replied to DSMITH's topic in Gold Panning, Sluicing, Dredging, Drywashing, Etc
Johndoe, I'm panning to prospect. The setup works well for my survey of the claim. Production is sluiced. Then yes, finer classification most definitely helps with recovery from the cons. -
Gold Pan Suggestions
Bryce replied to DSMITH's topic in Gold Panning, Sluicing, Dredging, Drywashing, Etc
I am classifiying my material through a roughly 1/4" classifier, however I'm panning glaciated ground with alot of persistant heavies. My technique is down pat, but a good pan with less aggressive riffles makes it fast. The turbo pan however is a gimic. Thankfully it was free. Now it's a depository for black sands sitting on the shelf. -
Gold Pan Suggestions
Bryce replied to DSMITH's topic in Gold Panning, Sluicing, Dredging, Drywashing, Etc
I like the Estwing pan, but I am as much trying to pan very fine gold dust. https://www.estwing.com/products/plastic-gold-pans Garret's gravity trap riffles clog up on me. Very interested in trying Minelabs pan. Good colour, curious to how well their riffles will work. -
Thanks to those who keyed me in to using CLR for removong rust from rocks/specimens. This rock wasn't found with my detector. Got it quite a few years ago from the Mactung tungstein exploration camp on the Yukon/North West Territories border near the portal. It's heft made me interested and thankfully the chief geo at site let me keep it. Years it sat in my collection, but once I got my GM1000 I tested the more interesting rocks in my collection. This rock detected constantly in the non ferrous and strong. It sure cleaned up well, and the blue dotted pic is the Scheelite fluoresceing under short wave UV light (Calcium Tungstate, CaWO4) Cheers! Bryce

The Mavic Pro looks good. Not in my budget though. Impressive for sure!

Norvic, that Boeing drone would be sweet to mount a LIDAR under it, and build ultra detailed relief map of prospective ground. Google maps images of my area of interest just aren't good enough to identify paleo channels.

The Pkdredge... Neat Clip
Bryce replied to lbd's topic in Gold Panning, Sluicing, Dredging, Drywashing, Etc
Fantastic setup! That would be a blast to use in the Yukon... too bad dredging is discouraged here. -
The Nazis ruined what was considered a symbol for good luck and success. Thankfully luck at the end of the day wasn't on their side. This was a Canadian hockey club from around 1905. Windsor Ontario. Now let's get back to seeing the Gold :)

Hoping next year to get up there more often and take the Gold Monster up and down it's stacks that aren't claimed or claimed by Parks Canada, or where I can get permission. The dredges up here kicked out to the stacker everything above 3/4".

Dress for success ;) Insulated Carharts and a Canada Goose Parka, oh and Baffin -100 Drillers boots. But the boots have steel toes and yeah...

Winter has arrived already in the Yukon. I tried the other day detecting some now exposed gravel bars on the Yukon river running through Whitehorse but the surface has already frozen up. All that was recoverable was a Canadian quarter and a five of diamonds fishing lure sitting on the surface lol Auminesweeper, the Snow Mantra is great eh! I've worked down to -45'c in mine, love it. But too hot above -15 for me. Was working for an airline in Yellowknife and we got an insane discount. Paid $150 off a paycheck back in 2000. Still a working jacket, it's built tough.
