Legendary Detectors Of The 60s Through 80s
Ridge Runner replied to geof_junk's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Somewhere are another I’ve said this before on here about Whites and if you had a Eagle and wanted to update it to a Eagle 2 White’s would do it. The cost was a 125.00 and as far as I know know that was the first time they done that. I don’t remember them ever doing that again. My Eagle 2 is still going strong and my TR 66 it as well but a friend has it. Chuck -
Found This On Another Site Obituary For Monte Berry
Ridge Runner replied to DSMITH's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
It’s sad not to know the greatest of someone until after they’ve gone. I wish I could express in words to ease the pain and the loss of their love one but I don’t believe that exist for anyone that has so much love for each other in a family. We pass this way but one time and I hope we too will be remembered equally as well. Chuck- 1 reply

It’s odd for some it’s the accommodation and food portions but for me if I missed a few meals it wouldn’t hurt me. On the number of grams of gold is found you just don’t know how that’s going to come out. I remember one trip to Arizona after two weeks I couldn’t hold all the trash I found with both hands together. That trip not one fly speck of gold. The adventure of different everyday life has to be part of your trip. To answer a question is yes I’m thinking about going there this year. I’ve got to get my rear in gear if I am going. The down side I’ll be going it alone so I know zero people when I get there. I thank each of you for your reply be it good bad are indifferent. To me one week is a short time to be there but more than that gets costly. If I’m going I’ll let you know and do the same when I get back. My five pounds of gold I find may really be five grams with a true weight. I can’t help myself being from Texas. Chuck

Dilek For what it’s worth department I just sold over 4 thousand dollars of my detectors and the first thing I bought back was a Legend. You may not seen my post when you put out your last video with me talking about you saying You got to love that girl and her company being you always keeping us informed. For myself I like calabash and his testing different detectors. Lady you just keep up the good work you’re doing for me the customer and your company. Chuck

I’ve been to Nome before and the lower part of Alaska but never been to AKAU Resort. The last time I went to Alaska I put over 12 thousand miles on that cargo van before I got home. I know a while back someone said they were going sometimes this year to this resort but I’m hoping someone has been there on here before. Of all things my wife is telling me I need to go but when I ask if she is going to pay for it she says you got the money. You would think if she really wanted to get me out of town she should be willing to fit the bill. Please let me hear from you if you been there . Chuck

Has anyone here had the Legend out nugget hunting? If so what coil was you using? Chuck

A Good Panning Lesson For Beginners
Ridge Runner replied to geof_junk's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
I started with a metal pan just like that back in 61 . The pans we have today is only way to go because of the ruffles being the metal ones didn’t have any. The shaking back and forth is called stratification. A big word for a simple thing to do. Chuck -
GotAU I know nothing about killing a skunk but I can tell how to keep them from smelling. First thing you do is run up to one and grab it by the tail but be sure to lift it off the ground fast. If you do this like I said he won’t spray you and then put a clothespin on its nose this will stop it from smelling. Be sure you read over my instructions because this is something you don’t want to get wrong. Chuck

A little of something is better than a lot of nothing. No matter how small the gold is it’s still gold. Bird in hand is better than two in bush. One more Never leave gold to find gold. GotAU? maybe one of my statements will ease your pain. Chuck

How Much Time Do You Spend At A Site
Ridge Runner replied to stateguy's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
Back in 68 I drove 150 miles two weekends to come back to my home town to hunt this house that had two adobe rooms on this wood frame house . The area was about 10 X 15 and total time about 30 hours. Those two rooms had more trash than I’d ever seen. The walls was pushed out and the house was gone. You have to remember this was in the day you had to dig everything. Before it was over I found 30 coins all in the 1800’s . It was American and Mexican coins with the oldest a 1854 half dollar. The last day I was there I was looking around where the house was and was running the coil over some bricks that had been the fireplace when I seen a coin covered in dust. That coin was a Indian head coin . I never got to hunt where the house was because bye the time I could get back I couldn’t get in there anymore . The place now is government housing for old people.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder I’ll say you’re looking good. Last year my wife was going to buy her brother in law a shovel and I told her she will have to take him with her when she buys it. She wanted to know why and I said you got to be sure his hands will fit the handle. Yes she did believe me for a while. Chuck

Video From Andy Sabisch On V80 Two Videos
Ridge Runner replied to DSMITH's topic in Quest Metal Detectors
Phrunt I hear what you’re saying but on any other detector I turn it on in the morning and turn it off sometime in the afternoon. In that one day it’s turned itself off and on maybe 60 to 80 times. You start adding day after day for a year that could pass what you call life in one year. Do you know what they use to make this all happen? I hope I’m wrong but I guess only time will tell . Chuck -
Video From Andy Sabisch On V80 Two Videos
Ridge Runner replied to DSMITH's topic in Quest Metal Detectors
Here I am thinking again and if I was Quest I’d be wanting what I call the good news of my V 80 detector coming out. I’ve had this well known detector guy doing all this testing on what I hope to be my flagship of my detector line and his videos has been limited to just a few. My first question is did all this testing done maybe didn’t come out in favorable manner that the company wanted. If it did I’d be flooding the market with the good news and everywhere you turn there would be our American tester telling us that we can’t live without it. That’s my first and last question. Something was said that the detector would turn itself automatically off if it didn’t detect movement and turn itself back on with movement. This is to save battery running time in the field. Now turn that around and what is it doing to the circuit with load off and on all the time you out there hunting. I believe over time that will have a detrimental effect on the circuit over time. I see that over time being something you wish you didn’t have when it goes off and don’t come on . Just giving you something to think about. Chuck -
The Best Metal Detector Out There
Ridge Runner replied to Chase Goldman's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
Phrunt A detector can be like buying a car a detector works great and the car runs great all the way to the bottom of the hill. The detector and car worked great until you got it. That’s what you call Live and Learn bye your mistake’s. Chuck -
The Best Metal Detector Out There
Ridge Runner replied to Chase Goldman's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
The Best metal detector is the one you don’t have. Chuck -
If my wife was detecting and using something like that with a cell phone here’s what it would be like . First thing she’d be talking to her sister and at the same time watching a funny video are checking the dog pounds to see what new dogs came in. Between all of this she’d be ordering herself something off Amazon . I report Amazon now if they pass our house without stopping. That’s no joke.Well almost no joke. Chuck

I just watched a video on this detector and it looked as if this family was detecting together with it 😍. The man detecting got a signal with the coil 7 inches off the ground and then the boy got a signal but it never showed them dig either target. It looked to be the same detector as on here. Chuck

Kelley You are in the right place for nugget hunting. We here are always happy for more people to come on board . Hope we can help you and at the same time you could help us. You got another Texan here. You know you got gold gold and you got white gold but in Texas we have black gold. The trouble with it it just is hard to get it to shine. Glad to have you here. Chuck
