I just sent John another message because he was on the forum a short time ago but didn’t reply back to me. I sent him another message letting him know I am real and all I needed was his address so I can send the detector to him. Chuck

Bye Bye Zincoln Cent
Ridge Runner replied to BigSkyGuy's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
I know it’s time for the penny to go and it should been gone long ago but it’s been times when that penny looked great. If it hadn’t been for that penny I’d come home skunk as some say but with me I call a dry run. Story about the penny. Got my father in law detecting and he hit this bus stop. The ground was about 20X40 ft with grass when it first was put there. He said after a while he just sat on the ground because of so many targets. When it was over he had found 13 dollars in pennies alone. Chuck -
Well I PM John to let him know all I need is his address and I’ve already got it boxed up ready to go. I hope one day he comes back on here with a nugget even Gerry couldn’t get in his mouth. That’s Big ! haha Chuck

If you look around some are selling the Gold Bug Pro for 239.00. I bought one and It came from First Texas in a plain cardboard box. It was drop ship from who I bought it from. This is a great little detector and Jim Straight put me on to it plus this was what he was using before he passed away. I’ll make you a deal on my Gold Bug Pro but I only have the small coil . You pm me your mailing address and I’ll give it to you. I’ll also ship free is in the lower 48 . This detector has not even been out my door. This will get you started but save your money and buy something better down the road. Chuck

My thinking if Garrett could drop the price on the Axiom like they did then why not a little on the ATX. I well understand Steve the cost of producing something is definitely affecting that product when it hits the market. That’s what you call profit and loss. How much profit you want to make are how much loss you can afford to take. You won’t find any company in business for their health. When your loss exceeds your profit you close your doors. I know I’ve been there. Chuck

I’ll call it a odd thing and that is I can buy the Axiom lite cheaper than I can the ATX . That’s with are without the vet discount. Yes I know the ATX is waterproof but as you know sugar melts and I’m not about to get wet. Who knows just maybe one day Garrett will see the need to make a Axiom lite waterproof. Chuck

Golden Mask 4Xtreme
Ridge Runner replied to Van Rijn Stewart's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
It says GoldenMask USA but it don’t show a dealer here. It’s shown you can buy it but I don’t believe I’d want to give out a credit card number out. Maybe Richard at Backwoods Detectors would be interested in becoming a dealer. He’s already got Deeptech and this would give all of us the opportunity to spend more money.haha Chuck -

That Vista X is a great detector and with two discrimination makes it somewhat different than other detectors. Chuck -

My "Dream" Has Just Come Through!
Ridge Runner replied to George Kinsey's topic in Compass, Tesoro, Troy, Etc.
George You reminded me of a friend and he’s 91 . He said years ago when he was young it was this gun he wanted but didn’t have enough money to buy it. He said if he had that one gun he wouldn’t want another and he saved his money then later he bought that gun. Today my friend has more guns than a lot of gun stores have. Up until the end of last year he was still buying a gun every so often. Aren’t we all that way just one more gun are detector. Chuck -
Hi Bob It’s great to hear from you. I tried to contact you after you lost your home but never could. I remember I bought one of the first 200 TDI that Whites put out from you. That 1800 mile trip I made to nugget hunt with you and some out guys in the upper part of Nevada and after two days a bad storm was coming so we got out of there. I found one Chinese button and that was the biggest nugget without being one. I still have it . You take care Bob ! Chuck Anders

Alert - Just Got Off The Phone With Dimitar…
Ridge Runner replied to Dancer's topic in Tarsacci Metal Detectors
The last horse you sent me I put it in cold storage just to remember but I forgot why. As far as this new Tarsacci I really don’t believe I’ll be buying one are not. I just write to joke around and keep the forum alive that’s why I put man down. Steve I wish you the best! Chuck -
Alert - Just Got Off The Phone With Dimitar…
Ridge Runner replied to Dancer's topic in Tarsacci Metal Detectors
The odd thing Dimitar said the Tarsacci was ready to sell now but out of interest I ask where is it. I don’t see a new site up and I’ve been looking diligently for it. If like he said it’s higher in price I don’t see myself going there. I guess you could say -

Ridge Runner replied to Dancer's topic in Tarsacci Metal Detectors
I’ll do just that Chase. I’ll call him off a different phone and tell him my name is Chase and I understand you gave a little buddy of mine the runaround when he called you Monday. haha I was somewhat shocked when he the price was going up. It’s his to sell he can ask whatever he wants for it. Chuck -

Ridge Runner replied to Dancer's topic in Tarsacci Metal Detectors
When he answered I introduce myself and ask if He could answer some questions on his new Tarsacci. I told him so many people on a prospecting forum was interested in the new Tarsacci. He ask what kind of questions and I started to say that’s when he cut me off by letting me know all the info would be on his site .The one he don’t have up yet. I didn’t say a word about price but he let me know it was going up
