Mining works for Nevada What takes me over a year to get approved in CA, takes 2 months in Nevada!!

What id like to see, and I don't thinks its possible is the amount of ground thats leased from the big blanket claimants both private property and BLM public lands. I lease several areas, its damn near imposable to keep prospectors from not knowing its leased. My signs just get shot, removed or ignored. Thanks Clay!

Perhaps you can provide examples of your work beardog. I do recommend Adobe Lightroom.

That part of the problem, nothing prevents the locater from relocating or amending the location notice on the 83'ed (or any) day prior.

Thats (or a similar method) worked for several of us fighting this "practice".

It's the 90 day wonders that fly under the radar. Seems like half the "claims" being offered on ebay and such sites are just filed @ the county level and refiled every 90 days. Ive even seen them in withdrawn areas and filed (county) over active claims. This denies BLM the fees and data, and where applicable local taxes. FWIW beware of any claim offering that has a document fee...

I wish I would have taken pictures of the 2, 4000's of a local miner, he just tossed them in the back of his pickup (where they sat over the winter) and they looked like they were drug behind it up and down Jungo road. Made that 16000 look cared for!

Still ticking!

Detect coils are built like a tank and they make several unique sizes unavailable elsewhere. They also hold patents on shielding and a new spiral wound DD.

Ill let you know when I get them in stock.

This cover fits the CTX 3030 also! Here it is on my "lost" GPX 7000 There are a few exposed fabric edges that are not taped that needed a quick melt with a lighter to stop the fraying. The screen cover @ the window and same on the remote cover.

Well, at least the head of ML customer service is doing the job. Thank you for trying! Was told by the Chicago office that ML West would call today with news... no call, no write no nada! Ive added up what I've personally spent on ML products just in the last few years. No wonder Im broke GP 3000 Quattro Excalibur 2 Eureka Gold xTerra 70 2 GP4500 2 GPX 5000 CTX 3030 with 3 coils SDC 2300 GPZ 7000

I received a call from the head of customer service today. This proves that ML is keenly aware of the power of social media and this forum's reach. Was not able to take it as I was driving. So perhaps I can find out tomorrow after a round of phone tag if the unit was received, I'm 99% sure its just that ML West has authorized the mail carrier to sign for deliveries. IMHO the USPS should refund the signature confirmation fee since they did not fulfill our "contract". Thank you all for the replies and suggestions!

I've liked this unit since I first laid eyes on a prototype Digger Bob had @ RP several years ago.

The thing that prompted the second call was who signed for the delivery. It was sent with signature confirmation, the signer's signature was U UPS. ​So I have no idea if ML west got the shipment or not.

Mexico.

Yes, I had local help and guided hunters. It was taken on Public lands. Actually the guide is a world class big game guide who gets $10,000 just to say hello to clients, my cost a dinner @ Olive Garden Back to the topic, Two phone calls (answering machine) one last Thursday and one today to ML west have not been returned. Simple inquire that could have been answered in a few seconds. Cant be bothered or too busy?

.338 is a speedy round

No different to me then charging the Zed and the remote.....

Removed by poster, vegan offended

Mailed it off this morning $23 in shipping + $80 insurance. Shaved it down to a 15lb box! All they wanted was just the detector, no battery. Now for the Elk, backstrap by sunday!

Its really not that noisy to me, in fact it seem like when you do hit a target the machine quiets down and returns a nice obvious signal. I pretty much run it like I do a GB2, maxed out. Well articulated and succinct article Steve, Thank you!

Fall is the prime time in NorNV for me too Spencer! Im heading your way (Teton area) for an Elk hunt so this is the perfect time for me to get er fixed. Door is allways open, and bring back empty jars for a refill! I need to get Dr Tones hooked on the jelly too!

Always had great service, even during the early days when Bud M was holding the solder iron. RMA in hand and whats news to me is the repair facility location, Minelab West Attn: Brian Lewis 4960 S. Gilbert Road Suite 1-134 Chandler, AZ 85249 630-401-8172 Im just a cheapskate and want to save ever cent I can in shipping.

Starting the process today. The GPZ has lost about 10% of the screen pixels manifested in vertical lines, along with going totally blank a few times. So off it goes to the Windy City for repair. Questions for those thats have returned a unit, How long did it take? Did you return everything or just the control module? Not sure I can handle more then a few days separation
