It's was back in the 60's that I've been in Placerville. I just don't see how I could make this one but I've love too. It's got to be the greatest Gold Prospecting Summit ( show ) a person could make. You have so many knowledgeable people  under one roof giving the talks.

I should stop beating around the bush. What I wanted to know was if Digger had a booth and just maybe he'd have the new MX Sport.

 I too have a interest in just how far dealers come to something as big as this.

Chuck,

Last time there where many dealers. The ATX was new on the scene,and there was about a half dozen there.

[Ridge Runner]

Thanks deathray for the info. Will you be making this one ?

  Chuck

[Lanny]

Steve, not only would I love to be there for your presentation on detecting for gold, I'd love to take in the others as well. Sadly, I'm already committed to another conference at the same time or wild horses and cranky mining mules couldn't keep me away.

All the best, and thanks for the info. as I may be lucky enough to make it another year,

Lanny

[Reno Chris]

They are only held every other year, so if you miss this one, the next opportunity will be in 2018.

The final list of the vendors is still being fixed but will be available shortly.

[deathray]

Yes I will Chuck! Only an hour from my house.

Does the fair RV park fill up during this event? Early reservations necessary?
