Alluminati

I'm getting more higher K then usual. I guess the BBS was already pretty good on low K rings because of them being 60% high conductor.

I lived in an area with native gold like that and had a low income job, I just might consider doing it full time. What these guys say is very true though, keep that in mind. 15 grams wouldn't make me quit my job in North America, it is very expensive to live here. However if I lived in Africa, or anywhere else where you can survive off a few hundred a month, I would go looking for nuggets instead.

In less than 3 hours snorkeling will be legal here in Canada.

Oh OK. So how does it work?

I think some native pipes were quite naughty. Is it carved or made out of glass?

Thank you kindly. For various reasons I won't be giving out the STL, sorry.

Here is the polyethylene version finished. I am happy with how it turned out. Now that I have a benchmark, I may revisit the Nylon version in the future with a bit of cooling, but that is neither here nor there, this version is very serviceable IMO. Tonight after work I think I'll start working on the end caps.

That is odd, so there must actually be a difference between the blue and new Excaliburs. It's not that I doubted people, just that the only real difference I've heard described of the two. lol

Right on Gibson. Former Xterra user here, nice to see the 705 bag some big nuggets. Good going.

Maybe it is meant to be sarcastic, I have come across articles from MD-Hunter before, they were funny. My apologies to the Garret boys.

Tough to say, you can't really garner much statistically from one hunt like that, but having swung Equinox, Safari and the Etrac, I would go with the Equinox. They can be very similar, but the Equinox is way more versatile and can be setup like a Safari. The Safari is no slouch, though it has a one track mind and cannot be setup like the Equinox. Great backup machine though and the price was right.

You could try knocking back your own sensitivity a bit, this might work OK at a seeded hunt. The other thing to do is everyone pick one of the single frequency channels and spread out, that may work. (4kHz users at opposite sides of the field etc.) I'm not sure if anyone can still run Multi IQ or not at the same time, or vice versa.

That is pretty cool, I am definitely going to have to try that. I have often wonder what goodies lie within the iron resolution of these machines.

Today I went to another spot. I went here in particular because this place owes me some gold lol. It started off tough, it's really not that big of an area and it was almost full of soft sand on the move. There was some sand starting to pile up though, so I thought I would stick around and look for some low spots. There is a river that drains dark organic material into this area, the wind held it against the shore so the visibility was essentially zero, I had to walk around to find any low spots. The first important indicator target was a dog tag from 1979. This is a little different then a coin in the sense that the dog tag had to have been lost around 1979 or shortly after. A few minutes later I had my first pice of jewelry, a copper ring. I got my first cache today. I've found many coins, many bits of of tin, but never a coin in a tin. It's a "Murrays Erinmore" flake tobacco tin with a Zincoln in it. I know you're jealous. The tobacco tin rang up in the 30s, not long after I got a couple more 30s side by side, turned out to be a fairly hefty one ounce sterling silver bracelet. Nice blue tarnish. Yoink. After that, i got another good hit in the 30s. This one was a big target but the numbers were good, it's fairly easy to avoid iron using the Gold 2 mode, so what the heck lets just see what all the racket is about....a antique fire extinguisher at almost 18 inches. You know how sometimes you leave a huge deep target thinking it sounded like a high conductor, well I guess sometimes they are. This site has quite the eclectic finds. I have to be careful about being too greedy, this place can fill my pouch with junk in no time lol. It's full of soup can rings, caps etc. so I have to focus on coin sized objects and unfortunately blow off some of the single digits on account of excessive foil and fly-by-foil.

I have my final version printing. I made some slight cosmetic changes and switched the material to polyethylene as the Nylon was looking a little rough for my taste. I didn't want to commit to the all night print after seeing the first quart inch. It's temperamental stuff. Polyethylene will be plenty strong enough and is easier to get a decent looking print from, fingers crossed. I used the red prototype with the feet added today during a water hunt. I am satisfied that the feet aren't overly big, I didn't notice them catching on my pouch any more than others. I should just get a different pouch, but still, I like as much clearance between my hip and the machine as possible.

I adjusted the "tone pitch" to make a higher sound on silver, not sure if that is what you mean. It also makes a bigger audio gap between ferrous/non ferrous making low conductors easier to pick out next to the iron tone. Page 47 : Adjusting Tone Pitch 1,2, or 5 tones Page 48 : Adjusting Tone Pitch 50 tones Manual found here.

Nice finds. I assume you are in salt? If so I can't help ya. In fresh I run threshold of 5 or 6 and sens of 22. No noise cancel or GB. Machine will make audio if I pump the coil but rarely enough to trigger a TID response.

Today was brisk to say the least, it was only 2°C / 35°F out there today. It was tolerable because the wind was calm. Once the wind picked up, I pulled chute. No gold today, but I did hit a bit of silver, a 1951 George the VI. Tonight I am printing an arm cuff, but tomorrow looks alright weather wise. I might give this site a rest for a bit and try somewhere else. It's a tough call but you have to keep prospecting, it also gives the sand a chance to move around a bit, potentially exposing more desirable targets.

Find a friend who does astronomy, relax and try to comprehend the time taken and the distance traveled for a photon to land in your eye. Many of these things you see are not even there anymore. It is good to view yourself and the human race from the macro level, it helps to re-center your perspective on things. IMO. Semantically speaking, gold also fell from space. It's popularity is due to it's pedestrian use as a monetary fashion, but it's otherwise monotonous. Meteorites are much more exciting in comparison.

I was wondering too, I took it to mean raise the Tone Break high enough to skip the caps that flash 10 TID. (I think he meant 4 gram chain and not 0.4 gram chain)

That just isn't true at all lol.

That is cool, I think I'd rather have the forged coin as well.
