Highbanker Cleanout Opinions
El Dorado replied to gambler's topic in Gold Panning, Sluicing, Dredging, Drywashing, Etc
As Klunker says, but I would judge clean out time on how compacted riffles get with heavies like black sand. When they are getting full it's time for a clean up. -

Guess The Price of the GPZ 7000 ?
El Dorado replied to Sourdough Scott's topic in Minelab Metal Detectors
Guys in OZ think $10,000, but based on all the previous models being close to the model number I'm thinking just over $7000. However it would not surprise me if those guys down under know something we dont -

Detector Dilemna GPX or SDC?
El Dorado replied to Junkman's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
Junkman.... If you purchase a 5000 from a good reputable dealer who also offers training, you will see that the 5000 is not as complex as you think it is. -
I'm one of the old farts that was using one of strick's SDC2300's a few days ago I did find some gold with it but after so many years of GPX use that threshold drove me nuts and was pretty tiring on the old brain cells and the ergonomics leave much to be desired. Jonathan, I do understand what you are saying but it's just not for me. Prior to using it, I was genuinely thinking about getting one. I'm glad I got to try before I bought one.

A Modern Day Treasure Story
El Dorado replied to plidn1's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
Todd's Valley was also the sight of one of the most if not the most brutal gunfights in the American West. Not to many folks have heard about it, but a lone man, a Mexican War Vet ended up killing 14 desparadoes within 2 minutes using his two guns and his knife. The story became widespread at the time but sort of lost steam fast. I have tried to research the spot it happened so I could possibly beep a bullet or two from the fight, would be cool to go in our local Museum.... http://digitaledition.qwinc.com/display_article.php?id=913610 -

Drones For Aerial Reconnaissance
El Dorado replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Way back in my earlier dredging days when I owned airplanes I would routinely overfly my dredging areas. Amazing how much you can learn from overhead views. -
How do tell, did you get it out?

Yup, I must agree on the Salt and vinegar for cleaning placer gold. It's fast, easy snd cheap. I have been cleaning my gold this way for a couple of decades and shared this method with many a prospector. If you need to remove Caliche, CLR works great, followed by the salt and vinegar for a final cleaning.
