Above all the dangers that’s been talked about here is man wanting something for nothing. It’s the guy with a big smile on his face that you think you could trust forever but that’s not true. I know of one person that got killed in Arizona and they still don’t know who done it. It really don’t pay to go it alone anymore! That’s the sad truth of it all. Chuck

Don’t make any difference how small gold is it’s still gold. It’s funny when it’s in a pan you saying I’m rich but put in that tiny bottle and reality sets in . John you may not know this but if you wash gold too long it will shrink on you.😂 Chuck

Maybe you need to get the latest model.

In about 65 the biggest still sites ever discovered was found in Mississippi. I remember seeing pictures of it but don’t remember what county it was in . My Dad did run moonshine and may been a customer more than a runner. I do know my mother and him parted company long before this took place. I’d say you’re going to find more trash around that site you found than money. The people working it most didn’t have a pot to pee in are a window to throw it out. They were working for the man and he didn’t get his hands dirty. Chuck

Gerry It’s a video on the M8 and the M15 showing both. The 8 is 8X5.5 and for me that would be first pick. Chuck

Mike I’m sorry to hear that. That’s like a friend passing! Chuck

John the question was where is that river and your answer should be Right where I left it. The Best! Chuck

Lanny I ran across a guy walking out from way back in there and I was already about 30 miles off any road . This all took place in Alaska. He had run out of shotgun shells trying to keep the black bears off of him and he was going to get help to get his equipment out . Like a Alaskian told me if a black bear comes after you he wants to eat you. A Grizzly will come after you not so much to eat you but he wants you out of his territory. It’s best to be the fastest runner in your group.haha Bye the time I got home I had been a little over 12000 miles on that one trip. Chuck

Some years ago I bought a Minelab with a inline probe and I can’t say it didn’t work good. The trouble it put about another pound on that shaft I was swinging and that got old fast . With the pinpointers we have now I can stick about anyplace are tie a string on it and drag it on the ground behind me but not on that shaft . Why buy the lightest detector and turn around and add more weight . Chuck

Clay Bubba was the one I talked with but he wasn’t the one ahead of the club. Not sure if was his father are father in law. I think it’s the one who has the prospecting shop there in Wickenburg . Babba said call first before coming so I’d know someone would be there when I came Clay did you know Steve Scott who had the Johnson mine before the people that own it now. Steve hit a blow out and I’ve never seen such beautiful gold as what came out of that. The Johnson mine is above Rich Hill but you would know that if you worked around there at all. Chuck

Bishop I should have joined them 30 years ago but stupid didn’t. Now I just want something a year at a time. Chuck

Well with a phone call I found out it’s a 150 per year and they have about two hundred acres in claims. Membership sounded to be just about nothing and activity less. There’s another club I’ve belong to before and that’s Weaver Mining Company. You will find them in Congress and they show they still in business.I’ll make a call on this club to . Later ! Chuck

YumanAndy It’s all about angle and water flow plus the right matting under your riffles. Why put it back on the ground when you can put it in your pocket. Chuck

DSMITH If and when I find out something about that club I’ll post it here so you will know. Right now we know about the same and so far that’s nothing.. Not a word saying the cost to join and the last review was in 2020 . It may been one earlier but not sure. Chuck

They don’t say much on their site about themselves. The Road Runners club is the biggest you will find with lots of claims but I haven’t been keeping up with them on how strong membership is now. The Dilly club do have a number but sometimes like a detector dealer on what he’s selling is the best. Chuck

Does anyone know about this prospecting out of Wickenburg Az. ? Over the years I’ve belonged to a number of clubs around there but this one is new to me. Thanks ahead for any info you got. Chuck

I’ve said in the past and that’s Gerry is going to lose that nugget to the great beyond one day and when that happens I don’t want to be in a radius of 5 miles when it sees daylight again. That video was like being there and I wanted to tell you to get out of the way because you’re not digging fast enough. The Best Always! Chuck

The funny thing is not one of us has anything of what we’ve been talking about . What I say let’s not cross that bridge until we get to it . When someone tells me I can’t have it I don’t know why but then I want it more. Chuck

Geotech On what you said that is the reason why I said I wouldn’t let anyone where it came from so not to do harm to the dealer . Another thing I myself may let some know on here my opinion of it bye PM but not talk about it openly. You could be right about someone taking it away from whoever but I can assure you that after they won’t know if they got it by looking at it . I don’t believe you will be able to return it if you have trouble .That could be a real problem are a quick loss to someone. Chuck

Midalake To not cause a dealer in Canada trouble I myself wouldn’t say even the location I made a buy . What I see the Q80 has to have offer I would have a hard time to step down to something less. My problem right now is I don’t know not one person in Canada. I’ve said will and way but you have to know I have no pride to complete whatever it takes to accomplish the end results. My problem right now I’m not sure what that is.haha I wish the best to the one that can get their hands on the Q80. Chuck

Gold Seeker Words can’t express your loss are in any way make it better for you are his family. The only thing I can say I can relate due to that I lost two friends to cancer last month. The older of the two had been my prospecting buddy for years. The sad part for the living we find a hole is there now that will never be filled again because that love one are friend is gone forever. Men never feel you can’t say that you loved that friend you lost. Chuck

I had been viewing something other than the Tarsacci and was trying to make my way back to the forum when up pops I believe every video made on the Tarsacci. It’s so hard believe after all this time not one word of anything new about the Tarsacci. What I seen the last video was made in October 22 on the Tarsacci. I would think a dealer out there should know something but if not be asking the man in the know. I sure didn’t get anything out of him . I got a thank you for being a customer but not one word about just maybe coming out with a small coil. Detector Stuff I know you’re not a dealer for the Tarsacci but you had planned a interview with that company . Do you see yourself doing that anytime soon? I don’t see myself buying back into the same I had but I wish I’d keep it. That’s more I can say for all the other detectors I’ve own. The Tarsacci had be the best built detector I’ve owned but’s just in need of some updates. Only time will tell where the Tarsacci will be in a year from now. I truly hope not in a dead file somewhere. Chuck

Thanks Steve that was a interesting read. Chuck

I’ve have never seen this detector before but maybe someone on here knows all about it. The odd thing is the name of it . Chuck

I’m sure all have watched the video of them digging that deep hole to put two big sheets of tin down to detect. We still don’t understand the treasure that may be found on Oak Island but that’s beyond the average treasure depth. I say this if you out there with just your hands are if your lucky to have a shovel how much digging are you going to do. Maybe on a beach it could be deeper but the sand keeps sliding in . I’m going to tell you a true treasure story. A man came to a cousin of mine that had a 3 hundred acres telling him it was a treasure on his place. The original wagon trail and stage run went on what was called back in the 18 hundreds a road that all travel. This took place back in the 60’s and this guy had some kind of metal detector. How I don’t know but this guy knew about where the treasure. In no time they got a signal. So my cousin started digging and after three feet he hit the top of the box. This treasure story went on and gets more complicated as it went on. My cousin some years later showed me the hole he dug to get to the treasure. You would bump your rear standing in that hole. What I’ve been getting to is most treasure can be found with just about any detector with a large coil. That treasure chest wasn’t very big maybe a little over a foot and half long with less than half wide. I don’t remember for sure but it I think was Spanish gold coins. He take a couple to a coin dealer and he said they were real . My cousin didn’t say if he had trouble lifting that box out of that hole. I do remember he said the coins was in dividers with only about three laying on top you could get to . The others had a wire over them to keep them in place. Get your detector out with that big coil and check what depth you can get with it. Who knows you may have all you need already. Chuck
