snakejim replied to Jeff McClendon's topic in White's Metal Detectors
Jeff, you are most welcome. I very happy it went to a good home and will be appreciated! Best wishes! -
Go for it! There might be a kid that would like to get into metal detecting. A great loaner for a beginner!

What About The Fisher Gold Strike
snakejim replied to Goldseeker5000's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
One reason was that the Gold Strike did not have a threshold that we were used to having. We listened for the whispers or faint changes in the threshold to find the dinks. -
Peg & Pup’s Beautiful Late Summer Day
snakejim replied to IdahoPeg's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
What a great day for you and the pup! Thanks for sharing your story! -
I killed 2 large western diamondback rattlers in my back yard in the last week or so. Last one nearly nailed my dog.

At the bottom of the last page is the ad for the 24k, and where it says "New" coming soon (Garrett Goldmaster 24k). Left click on that and it takes you to the Garrett web page for the 24k detector. Go down the page until you find the videos. Our buddy Steve H. did them!

Gold Racer Vs Whites 24k And Others
snakejim replied to phrunt's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
Like Jeff, I am also a big fan of Nokta/Makro detectors. Where I hunt nuggets, the Gold Racer is what seems to be my best choice along with the GM1000. The ground is terrible and littered with hot and cold rocks. Most VLF detectors are so noisy they drive me nuts. Pulse works great but most of the gold is so small pulse can't see them. Large nuggets are few and far between.- 17 replies

If anyone wants to stake a claim in New Mexico, I have been doing it for over 20 years. I usually don't charge a thing. I enjoy doing it.

How To Navigate The New Mlrs
snakejim replied to Goldseeker5000's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
I am not impressed with the BLM MLRS at all. The maps don't work properly. Also, I sent in a Quitclaim Deed for a transfer of interest in ownership on a claim on Feb.3, 2021. The new owner's name was added to the claim, but the sellers name is still there. I can't use the MLRS to correct this and the BLM says be patient, we will fix it. They haven't yet. -
Steve, I have the Fisher Factory repair manuals for the Motherlode 660 and the original Gold Bug. I did repairs and mods on a few of the Gold Bugs for friends. Even built a water proof one in a 1280x box. The tuning of the coils is covered in the manuals and a Ferrite sample was provided. You can have them if you want them. Best wishes! snakejim

Lanyard? We ain't got no Lanyard. We don't have to show you no stinkin Lanyards! LOL It would be in my way. Just use a pouch or stick it in a pocket. I hunt nuggets mostly and use a scoop instead of a pin pointer.

Mining Claims Update
snakejim replied to DWF's topic in Gold Panning, Sluicing, Dredging, Drywashing, Etc
The BLM can be up to 90 days behind what is actually claimed. Check with BLM first. Then go to your County Clerk's office and check for claims located in the last 90 days in the area you are interested in. You have 90 days to notify BLM of your new claim. -

White’s Electronics Done After 70 Years
snakejim replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in White's Metal Detectors
The factory said these folks will do the repairs. I have a GMT that I sent to the factory for repair and it arrived there the same day they sent the email to the dealers saying they were closing. I called and they said they would work about two weeks at the factory then send repairs to these folks. Centreville Electronics 9437 Main Street Manassas, VA 20110 (888) 645-0202 (703) 367-7999 Fax: (703) 367-0868 bobnpaul@centrevilleelectronics.net www.centrevilleelectronics.net -
I spoke to Todd at the factory today, since I have a GMT there for repairs. They will still do repairs for the next 2 weeks; then, if you have a detector that needs repairs you will have to send it to: White’s East Service Center Centreville Electronics 9437 Main Street Manassas, VA 20110 (888) 645-0202 (703) 367-7999 Fax: (703) 367-0868 bobnpaul@centrevilleelectronics.net www.centrevilleelectronics.net I would still call the factory first, just to be safe! Best wishes to all! snakejim

I just received this email! Important Information from White's Electronics June 18, 2020 To our valued White's Dealers- This is a very difficult message to write, but the time has come for retirement from White's Electronics. We are suspending manufacturing operations at our Sweet Home facility while we re-evaluate the future of the company. It is never easy to make these decisions, however, we are faced with the reality of intense competition in the industry and ongoing counterfeit instruments coming from China. Lastly, there have been critical material shortages since the Covid 19 shutdown that we now find insurmountable. All of us here in Sweet Home are grateful for your service. We consider each you part of the White's extended family. Sincerely, Ken White American Made Metal Detectors since 1950

What Is Your Favorite Gold Detector And Why?
snakejim replied to Gerry in Idaho's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Maybe the original Fisher Gold Bug, White's Goldmaster II, Minelab SD2000. I have had and used so many since about 1985. -
Did it!

RIP Fred. Condolences to his family.

Sorry to hear that.

Reg had done a mod on my TDI and some other things for me over the years. I tried to call him a while back and never heard back from him.
