Send your information to trinityau@hotmail.com THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED Hello everyone, I have been very busy with so many projects lately and I have not been visiting or posting on the forums much. I am finally finishing up on lots of stuff and look forward to posting again and getting back into the mainstream of gold detecting again. My hunting partner George has gone through a bout with throat cancer and just received a clean bill of health the other day, after a few months of radiation and chemo. I hope to be hunting together with him very soon. I have had many people wanting to know if I was going to plan an outing again this year in Northern Nevada. I have done this in the past with an open invitation to all. I am looking at possibly doing an outing sometime in June this year. Again, it will be an open invitation to all. Because I have been off the forums for a while I am hosting a free giveaway. The details are below and also can be found on TRINITYAU.COM WIN YOUR FREE COPY OF Detecting for Gold, Adventures, Trips and Tips DETAILS Guess the weight of each of the five individual pieces of gold, then guess the weight of all five pieces of gold together. Your guess should be made in grains. Click on each picture to open that particular picture in a larger view. This contest will run until midnight 21 February 2016. The first five persons that get the correct weight or closest in both categories will win a free autographed copy of my book, this is to include free shipping anywhere in the United States. This contest is valid only in the United States. The very first person to get the correct or closest weight in both categories will win a copy of the book and get the gold. The weight has been determined by the scales in the pictures, which were calibrated to a zero balance just prior to weighing the five pieces of gold. All entries must be made on TRINITYAU.COM through the Comments page. Enter your guess on the Forum Entry. GOOD LUCK TO ALL This gold was found with the New Makro Gold Racer TRINITYAU.COM

Well I got my new GMT today! I had to try it out. I only had about an hour of daylight. I was around an old tailing pile. Lots of trash. I didn't even get my headphones yet but it was quiet where I was at. I'm happy with my first outing. I found one 22 casing, one small piece looks like a rock sticks to a magnet, and one mangled piece of lead. The lead can write as you can see in the pic. Again no real finds but I'm happy in .the one hour I had. I can't wait till I get to really try it out.

Ran over to the park to get my Makro-fix after church---- wanted to hit it before the game started... I got a couple of videos.... one is long 6.23 minutes and I can't figure out how to chop the center out of it,,but i promise I will learn... I will look at it again and give you some times that you can skip.... Going GOLD hunting next weekend at the Rye Patch !!!!!!! Carry on !

Aye aye, sir!

Yes Lanny... it is fun to go metal detecting and start to find odd or interesting things for the first time. I still remember my first experience... an old Garrett ADS Deepseeker served as a portal to explore a fascinating new frontier. Good luck Nevada 1616 and thankyou for the above post. Jim.

They were all buried about 16 inches deep. In a line out from the fence posts. Yeah, the wire fence was a problem but more so the surface trash. Once those were cleared out, then the boxes were big broad signals. His reasoning for burying them was the home was way out in the woods and subject to a forest fire coming through. He works out of town, sometimes weeks at a time. No other savings or retirement accounts, so this is his retirement stash. Yep, people still do bury money, probably more than you would think. Imagine all the drug money that is hidden like this. Banks are not trusted much more now than they were a hundred years ago, what with failures, government seisures, lawyers, and ex wives. And against popular belief, rarely is anything buried more than 2 ft deep. Deep enough to be hidden, but shallow enough to be quickly retrieved. Well within the range of any good detector.

This puppy was dropped in 1859 no doubt. Pretty stoked! The dime was an added bonus. Also found an indian net weight. Glad to get out,looks like wont get another chance for awhile,jobs are piling up.

It's always great fun to get out with a new detector, and it's always fun to start finding things, anything in fact, just to scratch that itch! All the best as you get out there again, and good luck to you too, Lanny

You will know you have gone too far when a 1/10th grain scale won't weigh it...and you will need your reading glasses all the time! good detecting fred

Excellent!
