Got news for you, that 10,000 dollar detector is only 8,000 now.....

So what is the other VLF or is that a secret ................. Ivan

Any news on the Racer Gold? Whats the difference Racer or Racer Gold? Ivan

I was thinking more in the RPG category, that should clear them out and open up some good new gold ground, (the old two birds with one stone story). Ivan

Now just wait a gosh darn minute Klunker, you can't compare a Whites to a Minelab, the whites is all ready 40% less than the Minelab so if ya added 38% to the Whites that is only a even-stevens, so your really at the beginning. You would have to be or add at least a "your 38%" plus the 40% the Whites lacks to bring the total to 78% for the Whites to equal a Minelab 40%. I sure hope I cleared this up for you. Ivan

Super glue and ductape, been using it in the garage for years. Ivan

I had posted my Deus on "treasureclassifieds" a while back and guess I did not read the directions. got booted off the forum, (don't need there bs) they would not answer email or anything as to why, so much for being friendly. Ivan ps: sold Deus on craigslist...

Gold Prospecting and Metal Detecting for Gold Your picture on the main website, what are you holding? is that the best you can do? This is my interpretation the way it should look. LOL Ivan

My website address, its on every picture and my tag line. Dangerous, I would like to suggest you stay out of the kitchen, all those knives. Ivan

This is a four inch wide blade, 1/4 thick steel, 32 inch handle, really good walking stick. Stab it in the ground, or push it with one foot, pry back and forth to loosen ground, use it like shovel or scrape the dirt out. This is a great way to dig, I am hooked on these. Ivan

Here we go again, Spencer where is the pics.? Ivan

Steve, whats the diff. between the 4500 and 4800 ????

Went out to Greaterville yesterday and my budy convinced me I should post this pick. (No nuggys yesterday) Well, I was not gonna post this, but this is the pick that I use. See, being older and beer belly I don't like bending over if I don't have to. I have trained my self to detect left hand and carry pick In right. (I am right handed, would rather dig RH) This pick seems to cover all the picken criteria, walking stick, good pry bar for rocks. (A lot of MD guys have mentioned walking stick) and a pretty good scraper at 45 degree angle. It does not make a very good seat like my other picks. The pick point is 6 inches long and 1/4 inch steel so this thing is pretty tuff. 31 inch handle. Ivan

Got a pic of the mods? Ivan

I finished this pick, this is the only one I will make, any body want it, make me an offer, This pick head/neck would make it very easy to replace with a different point/blade. Handle 34 inches, scoop box is 6x6 inches, 12 gauge, point 3x9 inches 1/4 inch, weight 5.2 pounds It is not going on my website. Email..Me Ivan@ivan5.net Ivan

That is my whole deal with a pick, you can't have every thing. If ya make a pick heavy enough to pry boulders, it is heavy to carry. So I guess one has to decide ether carry a heavy tool, or ???. I like the 2 to 3 lb which is kind off a medium use pick. My picks are what I would call a medium duty pick, they are not made to bust through asphalt, get a 6 lb Mattock pick for that. They where made to be light (2-3 lbs) and carry all day, (all ready carrying around a bunch of stuff), and dig through semi loose rock dirt and sand. Someone on a other forum asked me about, any guarantee? that is a rock and a hard place question.. Its a pick you are slamming it into the ground, you are prying rocks with it.. Yes I will guarantee it, if you don,t abuse it. Pretty hard not to abuse a pick. I take my pick every now and then an take the grinder to it. Ivan

No No you would not bend that 12 gauge it took 5 ton press to bend those lips. Ivan

It still would be two piece because the point and bucket are two different materials. The bucket is 12 gauge, still twice as thick as a standard shovel and the point is 1/4 inch steel, I just don't see any one wearing this thing out very soon. The neck is welded to a 1/2 inch thick bar 3x2 inches. Ivan

This is still a work in progress. After thinking about this last night, destined For the scrap pile. Handle 34 inches, scoop box is 6x6 inches, 12 gauge, point 3x9 inches 1/4 inch, weight 5.2 pounds What a monster, not sure if I will make any more. I will only make this if I can weld it together. I think that changeable blade stuff is bs. This balances out, scoop to point really good. Ivan

Here is quick and easy pick holder 3 inch abs, couple of slots for belt, light, durable and easy to insert or remove pick. Ivan

I can think of many thing to say but I don't know you well enough to insult you. Did you all so loose your mittens when you where younger? Ivan

Thoughts guys? If I built something like that (super pick) would it sell? Ivan

Steve, I use two part Epoxy all the time and for the longest time mix it on a six inch square of cardboard, I just cut off a 2x3 inch piece of cardboard to use as a mixer, spatula.. The whole point is to this, I would take that disk (coil cover) clean it good, 409, or Denatured Alcohol, put a couple of two inch circles two part epoxy on the disk, mix and spread. These two bottles will last forever. Epoxy this stuff is the best, about 20 minute. 15 bucks Devcon 2 Ton Epoxy
