VA Nurse Paul probably lost this a few years ago. Did you find any flip-flops near it? -

Driving Off The Beaten Track
Randy Lunn replied to auminesweeper's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Is it worth the extra cost for the Hi-Lift Extreme version? -
Dave, I would enjoy an audio version (Audible?) of both books. These would be great to listen to driving to Rye Patch, Gold Basin and points unknown.

What's Your Pleasure In Batteries
Randy Lunn replied to Ridge Runner's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
After the high cost of the GPX battery, the GPZ battery seem like a bargain so I got two. -
You da man Paul. Way to go. Nice collection!

Gold always wins. Timing is the unknown. Hang in there. Fiat currency initially has lots of fans but in the end is an orphan.

Thank you Mitchel, a super report. This is really helpful to get a sense of the new settings and to set realistic expectations. I hope to get out soon, but with this heat in SoCal I may have to wait for a full moon. Do you need to take any special precautions with animals or bugs at night?

The percentages of the elements in your find from XRF match well with commercial brass known as Alpha brass. From Wikipedia: "Alpha brasses are malleable, can be worked cold, and are used in pressing, forging, or similar applications. They contain only one phase, with face-centered cubic crystal structure. With their high proportion of copper, these brasses have a more golden hue than others". The Romans used a gold colored brass alloy called orichalcum similar to your find to make coins. This is a Vespasian dupondius from 77-78 AD.

A nice collection of nuggets Lunk. Well done. In prior posts you and others have observed that even the little guys hit pretty hard. Did these nuggets respond crisply or subtlely? Any additional comments on the GM's nugget response profile?

So that's what a barramundi looks like. They have been popping up on restaurant menus recently in California, and they taste great. Nice catch!
