Fred!!!

I love shorts...easier to see the snake bite punctures.....

And a pick puncture to the big toe. Remember that!

I really like the built in bag pockets for placing all of the nails, lead wire, boot tacks and other trash found during detecting. The slip in knees pads are sweet also. Not constricting like wrap around knee pads. The fabric is very tough and stitched well. They will probably be very warm though on hot summer days. 

I was in the market for some new work pants. I came across these Caterpillar pants. The only metal on them is the zipper and button. They have built in nail bag pockets. Slots for slip in knee pads.(sold separately). I think they will be well suited for metal detecting. Thought I would share. Merry Christmas everyone.

Maybe try to get into the bedrock cracks and fissures. Get off of the wash bottom and try the benches on the sides. Also look for any drywash piles, or any stacked rock or un natural landscape. Persistence will pay off. Use slow coil speed and control. And learn to trust your detector.

Anton, if you need advice,  you just have to ask me mate. Scott

I too am very interested in purchasing one of these. But the Aussies seem to be discriminating against this yank. They keep telling me soon.

I prefer to think that is doesn't work in the northern hemisphere. So Nenad, please get me sent one.

I personally would like to see someone with lots of money, time and detector expertise. Strip down a Gpz 7000. And attempt to make a lighter and durable unit out of it. Something similar to what Steve has been doing with the Garrett ATX. To me, this is probably way easier said than done. 

I personally agree not to have a off topic forum. I come here to learn and improve my detecting and prospecting skills. 

I really could care less on some of the miniscule detector details. Like this coil has 180 windings and this other coil has 184 windings. I just want a detector that works and how can I make it work better for me. 

But that being said. I feel there needs to be a place where we can post information and news on our mining and prospecting rights that might be taken away or infringed upon by agencies, governments, environmental groups. But without getting political about it. Just stating the story and educating ourselves and let others know what might be happening to our hobbies or livelihood in the mining and prospecting areas. 

Just a area where we could post links where members could go read the articles themselves. And not get into hissy fits about where your political views are and how yours is wrong because it is different than mine. Hopefully that makes some sense.

I wouldn't want to detect behind him...he could find heaps behind me tho..

There was only one person that ever cleaned up behind Klunker, and it was a very long time ago. And it was his momma. And she only did it once. 

It has been a while since we last heard from Klunker on this forum. I sure miss hearing his insights on detecting and his other commentary. I don't know if he is just too darned busy detecting and finding gold? Or his computer broke? Or if he has been banished from the forum from the powers above . Any which way, I sure miss his 2 cents worth. Please come back! 

Had a couple of hours to kill Sunday afternoon. So I went to one of my beaten old patches. I've probably ran my coil over this area 50 times. Goes to show you that you never can get it all. 

I emailed the president of the group. Gave him your contact info. 

Would it be a Summer or Winter Equinox?

Very interesting article. Thanks for sharing. 

"The latest product, due for release later this year, is a compact, waterproof unit capable of picking out tiny traces of gold."

Got a email asking to enter the contest. I don't have a Coiltek coil,but thought I would pass on the info.

Paul is alive! He commented on a FB post of mine. ⛏️⛏️⛏️

I could barely understand him before he went to OZ re-education gold internment school. Him being a east coast Tennessean, me a west coast mountain miscreant. He might have to draw me pictures now. 

He IS a real pain here in the states. But that is said with lot's of love. 

If he does not turn up soon, the wife is going to banish him from her famous Zuke Relish and Homemade Salsa. 

I haven't heard from Paul in a couple of weeks. He must be finding some lumps. Usually I hear from him once a week. So hopefully all is well. 

Gold Monster fitted with a bamboo shaft. Very lightweight. Just a little bit of sanding to make it easy for the stock clamps to fit. The Jungle Monster.

 It's nice to have a pup that can drive (1st photo) It gives you more time to look for possible detecting sites. I gave up on my pup so I'll have to teach Sourdough Scott.

Nice gobagold.

When Klunker opens his secret gold vault. And weighs up a Troy pound of Au on his Fairbanks Morse dock scale. To purchase a 4 seat side by side Razor. Then I will gladly drive. Myself, Rooster and Luther barely fit in the Jeep. 

The real question is? Is there any gold on his claim? 

Very nice. I like nooks and crannies and CRUMBS. I also think JP's start up procedure is very important.
