Lodge Scent Anytime someone says that wouldn’t happen to me is full of bologna. I posted a while back about hunters laying their rifle against a tree and walking away never to see it again. It takes a man to post some of the dumb things us guys really wouldn’t want to admit we’ve done over the years. Chuck

Rick Don’t put it down you’ll never find it. Chuck

Just got a email from Garrett they got this new detector bag they running a ad on and it’s camo . Chuck

John Looking at the video he’s using it the same way we use our gold pans. At the same time he’s making out the best he can with what he’s got and doing a great job at it. Chuck

Sad but true. Chuck

John Look at all the times you hit a home run on your gold adventure but just this one time it wasn’t to be . Remember my old saying and that’s A little of something is better than a lot of nothing. Best to you John! Chuck

David I can assure you if you got a shipping notice you got a m8 coil on the way. You don’t find the time you make the time for you and your new coil. The Best To You! Chuck

He knows what he’s doing for sure . Chuck

I’ve said it here before that the Tarsacci is one of the few detectors I’ve sold and regretted it. At the same time I’d want to see some updates on it before buying back into it again . A gentleman did offer to sell a used Tarsacci he had for a number of years but waiting on pictures first. Chuck

Jeff I knew this guy is home burned down to the ground and it was on cedar post it was nothing left of them either. This guy had coins in fruit jars all over the house.Me and another guy was trying to find what we could for the owner. The coins we found had the shape of the jars but the glass was gone .The coins had fused together taking the shape of the jars they were in. The guys wife had put her wedding rings in the window above the kitchen sink and they were still there when the house went up in flames. The guy I was working with knew about where the sink and window was so here we go with a shovel full at a time looking for the rings. We did find them but both rings looked like they had been eating popcorn. The heat from the fire caused this effect on that white gold. The same will happen to coins if in a fire long enough. Chuck

Minelab is what I would call a old company that’s got all the equipment up and running to produce just about everything they want. They could undercut anyone they wish to the point another company couldn’t compete and would be forced out. On Nokta I’d have to say your right on the carrot 🥕 but they could give us something with updates down the road to keep us happy. They’ve showed already they can sell us a detector lower in price than just about anyone. Only time will tell what the outcome will be for all the detector companies but what I see is all good for us the customer . That’s the one I’m on the side of because I’m a customer also. Chuck

What I wondering is just how many is in a batch that’s being referred to? Could it be a hundred but needs to be no less than a thousand to meet the demand ? I believe before us here in the USA get our hot little hands on one it will be others coming out to compete with this new kid on the block downunder. Write this down on whatever you got that Chuck said This year we’ll see more PI detectors coming out of the wood work than ever before. That they’ll all look like every face of all the coin detectors we have now. I’ll go so far to say it will be Minelab are Nokta will be the first to have it here . Chuck

JCR I know that’s why I hunted with a small coil most of the time so I wouldn’t have to root plow the whole place to find that elusive target. I’ve looked at my pinpointer and ask it where were you in my younger days when I needed you so bad. Chuck

David let’s hope you one of the lucky ones and you did get it. Truthfully I’d say you got it because the same thing happen to me. One minute they had it and the next out of stock. The Best! Chuck

I have one myself that I bought in 92 and have that small coil that you could get for it then. It’s still works great like the day I bought it. Chuck

JCR It shows it’s 107.7 miles from San Antonio and your right Dan lives somewhere around there. You may have done it already a search on the show to see what’s said about it. At one time I was going up there doing a little panning but never found anything to write home about. Years back it was a gold mine northeast of Llano called the Heath gold mine. If you can look at the history of Llano you can see it .All they show it two horses pulling a dump bucket I’ve used myself cleaning out water tanks but with a tractor. It never says anything about the gold taken out of it. It’s a mineral belt that runs over the north side of Llano and off hwyway 71 a historical marker talks about the Spanish silver mine. The marker is south of Llano. Lots of treasure talk all around Llano. Chuck

Matt I don’t remember Rob ever charging shipping on a coil and for sure no tax. Chuck

There is a Treasure Show in Llano Texas this month on the 23 rd and 24 th . It’s something said about a coin hunt and showing panning for gold. I guess what I’m saying is just maybe Garrett will be there with this new detector. I plan on being there and post pictures after it’s over. On other Treasure Shows Garrett has always had a strong presence at them and maybe here as well. Chuck

I’ve always said I don’t care how small it is it’s still gold and you worked hard getting it so why throw it out. Chuck

The first gold pan I ever used was metal because you didn’t see anything like what you have now made out of plastic. I guess you could say I got the fever back in 61 along the old 49’s trail and it’s something you can’t shake off once you got it. Great write up Steve. I don’t care what equipment you have you still find yourself with a gold pan in your hands . Chuck

I remember when Minelab came out with the SDC 2300 and I was telling everyone on the forum’s at that time about this new waterproof detector that Minelab had. The trouble nobody believe what I was saying about it .They went so far to say I didn’t know what I was talking about. What they didn’t know I got my Lost Treasure Mag a month in advance and Minelab had their ad telling about this new waterproof SDC 2300 . My first nugget detector was the Extreme and found my first gold nugget with it . It was the first nugget detector that I owned but others came later . Chuck

I don’t know what the Sam Hill going on but Rob has the M8 coil for 239.00 but several others has it listed for 251.00 . When you dealing with a long time Minelab dealer like Rob and others like him on here you’re not going to get the short end of the stick. They are here today to help you and they’ll be here tomorrow are down the road if the need comes up. Remember 239.00 and they in stock. Chuck

People looking around on other dealers they saying out of stock on the M8 and here’s Rob saying I got them. Need I tell you more? The reviews have been good to great on the M8 so why wait any longer. Chuck

Remember a little of something is better than a lot of nothing. Chuck

Just a FYI you can buy two of the batteries used by the Tarsacci off of Amazon for under 19 dollars that’s if you have the need. Chuck
