Chris Ralph also has a great website with a lot of information. Articles, and videos that would be very interesting to a young prospector. Old prospectors too. 😉 http://nevada-outback-gems.com/prospect/chris_prospect.htm Good luck, Mike

Backpacks & Boots Revisited
delnorter replied to Sourdough Scott's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Thanks for the heads up on these boots Gerry. I just ordered a pair from Danner. Only $76.00, regular $190.00. Mike -
Thanks Gerry, great post. Mike

MSC, I agree with Steve. Find a way and go. We are not guaranteed things will be ant better in the near or far future. Time will pass and eventually all of us will too. Diesel here in NorCal is $7.00 per gallon, TODAY. I’m planning on detecting, prospecting and deer hunting this summer and fall as much as I can, using my older Yamaha quad a great deal in the National Forest here in the northwest. I’ll be using my camp trailer for staying close to where I’ll be venturing. Mike

Great link to La Niña - ENSO data. Long read, but looks like more drought conditions for much of the country, USA. Mike

Hats Available For Distribution :

It’s actually a good idea Tom. -
Lanny, the location similarity of gold and fish you mention is very true. They travel much of the same route while on the move as well, but in the opposite direction. A few years ago I monitored a couple Didson Sonar units for a fish counting operation here on the Smith River of Northern California. The salmon and steelhead took definite paths upstream along a zone at the edge of the slower and faster current where gold would settle out of high water. The fish would adjust their route with the river rising or falling. This can also be observed when fishing this river as it clears. The fish often go from an inside bend, in a general diagonal path across the straighter section, to the next inside bend, much how gold can travel at flood stage. Here’s a nice steelhead I caught on the Smith this season. Mike

Ground Balancing Gravel Vs Bedrock
delnorter replied to Jeffree's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
It’s pretty much the same a little further north of you in the streams Jeffree. I also use the Gold Bug 2. The bedrock is often pretty homogeneous and the gravels are made up of many minerals of the drainage/area. Tough to balance for both. As you know GB2 is a pretty sensitive machine and I just have to adjust as needed. Mike -

Very nice tvanwho. Good for your friend to get out and pull the plow. I’ll bet a lot of work was done to find this gold. Mike
