I see on other forums guys talking about the Supersede pick made in AU.

I tried to purchase one just to see what shipping would be, it says call us.

I have to admit they do look like, well made and nice picks.

They all so look a little heavy, more than I want to carry.

So would we be talking a three hundred dollar pick with shipping?

Replacement, blade or point..will they be around a year or two from now,??

Here is another Arizona forum. It is independent, not metal detector dealer sponsored-

Don't like to say bad things about people or sites, but gota read

this stuff on this club.

John its been a week since you got that TDI Pro any more news? any gold?

Ivan

Well added a new pick to the collection, ya know how many picks I got in my truck........

Ivan's Wacko Pick 

Jasong, check Ace-true value hardware they carry all kinds of nylon all thread bolt nuts, probably a lot cheaper. I was good at loosing bolts and nut when I use to carry my MD on my bike, a stick would get me through the day.

Ivan

Think some one had mentioned a pick holder or a way to carry these bigger

picks, this is what I am using, pretty simple to make.

4 inch abs pipe (pvc would work to) 6 inches long, cut two slots for belt

to fit through, 45 cut to reduce weight.  Wala... cheap, durable and 

easy to slide pick in and out..

My friend and I have a claim in ash Canyon watch out for him he's crazy

Excellent report John: can ya tell me something about the SL?  I have noticed it does 

not have a volume control, is it loud on speaker with out headphones?

Thanks Ivan

Paul  got pics of the "DIY conveyor build going on now...lol"

like to see it.

Ivan

I just been out side play with my new toy and although I could not ground balance it due to all the steel in the concrete So I set both GB knobs to around One O'clock flicked it in to low and I Max out the Gain and it did not warble or chirp it just stayed rock solid and I live in the city, and I bring it indoors and turn off the GB I can turn it up to the max in high or Low it won't make a sound, That's pretty impressive and They said on the Whites forum it should be able to see a Quarter over 12 inches, well I can pick out the signal at way past 12 inches, and .22 bullets are at insane depths.

john

John  how does the PRO compare to the SL.?   big difference.?  little difference.?

Your thoughts?

Ivan

Ivan, I may consider one of your picks in the near future. Taking a break from serious detecting for the moment, an looking for a better pick to be honest.

Paul

Let me know I will give ya a better deal, for members on the forum..

Don't make me start yelling, thats it for the responses?

Ivan 

Ha, never seen the two laying together like that, the pro is a lot bigger than the sl.  big big difference.

I was just at whites website, I see for 1555.00 TDI Pro click on the TDI pro tab..

Ivan

John, you sound like the little kid in the candy store, I am grinnen for ya.

Ivan

There is no greater thrill than a NEW toy......

 Yuup I keep thinking a Whites tdi .. Can't wait to hear your report.

Ivan

I have a similar pick designed like those.

Ivan

Yeah is some spots like down in the potholes the grass was chest high. Chiggers and little biting flies were out too.

Now there is a good question, what are you guys & gals using for bug spray.

Ya no, I think we have to many dam choices now a days.

Ivan

So I would like to know, 

What are you using? 

What do you like about it? 

What do you dislike? 

What handle length, inches?

How about a picture of your pick.

Ivan

I know one thing, doing the research  to find the stuff you want can be a pain in the butt.
Here is what I have been using, good old amazon.
 
Pack 25 bucks Down the page a bit got pack & bladder $43.73
Lancer Tactical Light Weight Hydration Backpack
 

 

Bladder 18 bucks, The bladder is separate and fits this backpack. 
Condor 2.5L Bladder
 

Steve, on average how far and how long do you hike from your vehicle.

Ivan

Yeah I don't know much about the northside of the goldfield, only driven in through the Greaterville Rd. a few times. Will have to do some exploring up there to see what's claimed and what isn't.

Have mostly just played around further south down by the GPAA and DGD claims.

 

Ivansgarage- just saw your website and the picks that you sell. Those look pretty nice. I'm always looking for a nice diggers pick. Everything for sale stateside is either too short, too long, too heavy, has too many magnets like the Apex Picks etc.

I recently bought a Walco Heavy Duty Large pick from Australia. Cost a pretty penny to ship here. Stuck a big 130 lb neodymium magnet on the head. Works pretty good. One of these days I may contact you to make something custom. I like picks with wide shovels on the back for digging and scraping.

Tortuga, anytime you want to come by and check out my picks (and bs) just drop me a email.

Sunday out at Greaterville, the grass and weeds have really been growing lately with

all the rain we have gotten, all most need a new detecting tool, a lawn mower. 

Ivan

Had any luck down there? Spent about 6 hours out there today. Got some pretty good rain while I was out but no gold this time.

We should all meet up down there sometime and swap stories.

Next month should be some nice camping weather down there.

My buddy Lou and I were out there today we  were over by granite mountain on the north side. No nuggys.

Ivan

Hey Greaterville Boys,

 

You may have seen this paper in your research of the area, but if not it is pretty interesting.  See pages 3-14 of the pdf which is pages 11-22 of the report.

That is why we go to greaterville, Just like that piece of map I posted a few post back.

It has all usgs gold locations with gps cords..
