    Remounting Pick Handle (advice Request)

    in Detector Prospector Forum

    Posted

    For  picks like this we used to grab them by the handle like a post hole digger,

    then smack the head of the handle down on a rock or concrete.

    Hard! More than once... maybe even till you can see it shaving the wood off the handle as it goes on.


    Then put your wedge in.

     Then you hang it on the wall and grab your CC pick and go detecting...🤠

     cheers

    Hey Guys/Gals,

      It's been a bit since I posted anything.  The forums are very slow, at least mine here.  I have to get all you guys/gals more fired up to post more stuff so we all can learn from each other and share experiences.  

    That being said, the COVID-19 really changed how we do stuff, let alone set out mass FEAR to the World. There is no doubt it's real, but I will just leave it there and talk about gold nuggets! 

    I managed to get out recently and had a nice run of luck with the Minelab GPZ 7000.  I rounded up over an ounce in one day working any old channel.  All the gold was down on bedrock and it was difficult to get some out of the cracks as they were covered and full of hard pack Caliche (notice the color or caliche on the gold).  

    Just over 31 Dwt's (20 Dwt's = 1 Troy Ounce).  Not a bad days work getting 1.5 ounces of the good stuff. 

    God is Great.

    Great finds for the USA Oneguy, I must admit!!!!... i used to live in Ennis before the fever hit me-- right next to Alder Gulch in Virginia City no less....

    We always say-- "there's gotta be more deeper"----and how many have fallen for that one...😛

     

    Detecting Backpack

    A base camp pack with a day pack is the go----

    When in Special Forces I carried a base packs that weighed roughly 100 pounds- (plus my medic bag 35 pounds)-so roughly 65 pounds of gear--- but we dumped it as soon as we rucked to base camp and went to day packs with battle belts.

    For day trips 3 liters of water minimum--- in SEPARATE containers in case of a leak...

    A few of the regular items in case you get lost---

    My point like the post above--for extended stays-- two packs are the go---- 

    Could even be Army style like the Alice pack and the fanny pack (sorry Aussies)

    Gold Hound Dale got me on to this USA company --Eberlestock-- they have anything you need... We both have one of these--- i believe this is the model-- mine is over WA. still in the plastic (unless the Taskmaster traded it for a carton-!!-) 🤣

    If you need more stuff than this can carry .... get a helicopter!
