  1. Good job Chris. I spend a lot of time putting in research but never seem to have, or make, time to put boots on the ground. The only boots I get on the ground these days is in my shop. Chris Ralph said I’m the busiest retired guy he knows. One of these days I’ll get back out.
  2. Nice haul of nuggets. That’s good for N Nevada. LL certainly has it down out there.
  3. Was just up in the McCall area of Idaho but so much to do I didn’t find time to go down to the Boise area to visit with Jerry. Next time hopefully. I’m still thinking about the 24Q.
  4. It’s amazing the leaps in technology especially when you upgrade only every 6 to 10 years. I’ve got a GMT and have been thinking of either a Whites 24Q or a Gold Monster to see how much better the technology really is.
  5. I enjoyed this show much better than the other gold hunting shows. Problem with Aussie Gold Hunters is I can only find season 1 on Netflix. I haven’t been able to get season 2 or 3. Very frustrating. I can buy the DVD’s of the shows if I want to pay $90 for shipping to the US.
  6. Steve I don’t know where you find the time to be so vigilant along with posting your comments and advice and still have time to detect and have a life. I assure you it is appreciated. Thanks, Wes.
  7. I had renewed my subscription to Lost Treasure and was about four months into it and they quit. Would have been nice to get a heads up.
  8. Yes it was good to see his video. Glad he’s doing them again. I’ve known Chris and his Dad Steve for more than 20 years, no two better people to know.
  9. Friend of mine just bought a steelphase and really likes it. I’m probably going get also for my scd2300.
  10. I bought the Nox 800. A good coin, relic and jewelry machine with a very good gold mode. It will complement my SDC and my GPX 5000.
  11. Three year membership is still cheaper than filing your own single claim.
  12. Hey Rick, nice going on the gold. Haven’t been to Rye Patch in years, one of these days.
  13. So after reading all these comments it seems the Rye Patch Area is either all claimed or privately own now and off limits to most folks.
  14. Steve I noticed the other end of the coil cord plugs into the control box or the picture makes it appear that way. Seems to me they only need is to design a closed in coil. Like you said, most of the work is already done. I’d get one of these instead of the round 6 in dd since I want the 6in round for gold anyway.
  15. Good information here. I left for the beach near Bodega Bay this week and took the E-800 out for the first time. Kept it on factory settings for the most part. Found over 3 dollars in coins when I wasn’t getting sand blasted and blown off the beach.
  16. I got the Equinox 800 mostly for the beaches on the coast. Now that my wife is retired it will be the Detector that gets loaded in the RV. It would be interesting to see a comparison with the small coil and the GM 1000. If I want to go after really small gold I’ll use my GMT with my 6 inch round concentric. We’ll have to get together and do a comparison.
  17. I want that 6 inch coil for a go in the hydraulic pits on small gold.
  18. Ya rediculous isn’t it. Then you have California that’s twice as bad as the rest of the country, almost a country of its own.
  19. Here’s a pic of my prospecting rig. 1988 Cherokee, lockers front and back, 4.6 L stroker engine, 5 sp manual trans. 4 inch lift with 33’s. Goes just about anywhere I need it to. Building a trailer to tow with it to haul my quad for the places the jeep can’t go.
  20. Beatup A friend of mine in the Sacramento area does arrowhead Knapping. His name is Mike Pelligan. Do you know him?
  21. I too have found and use this app. It’s pretty good. I can’t imagine the undonting task it would be to keep up with the constant changing in mining claims. For them to be able to list claim maps BLM would have to imput the maps provided to them into there system. BLM isnt even on the same page from state to state when it comes to the type of maps required.
  22. I agree with you about these guys. I’ve been dealing with Chris Gholson for almost 20 years. When I first got into metal detecting I was looking at going to Australia. I contacted Doug Stone in Australia. He gave me the Gholson’s number and told me to get ahold of them as they were doing the arrangements for the detecting trips to Australia. When I contacted Chris and Steve they talked to me like they had know me all their life. That’s the kind of people they are, they are really great.
  23. Be aware if your out detecting and see one hovering over you. I was out with friends detecting and had a drone fly over and hover above us several weeks ago. The next weekend the exact spot had three people there detecting that hadn’t been there for months. Coincidence??
  24. They do last a while, a lot longer than I will. Plus they have snug fit which limits them moving and causing that quick intermittent disconnect some complained about with the C-cells.
  25. Spot on. I’ve had a AT Gold for sale for a month now. Not a nibble but I refuse to give it away. Usually when you sell a used machine you have to pile on so many extra coils and other accessories that they become more valuable than the detector. Probably will just start keeping my older detectors and hope I can develop an interest toward detecting with my grand daughters as they get older.
