Hi, I wonder if some of you that use moving maps programs could enlighten me how you use them in your day to day prospecting experience. I may be using a dual sport motorcycle/powered paraglider this summer was interested in learning how you incorporate moving maps with vehicles (or walking) Thx in advance, Paul

LAtest report... i am having a little difficulty in getting used to the download lag of the maps---i think i forget the refresh button too often and it send me back to a previous screen. Once i ended up ion Michigan when i zoomed in...lolol (didnt see many claims there) I will have to put a few more hours in it, but i am convinced having the Rich Hill, Greaterville, and CA Footprints DVDs was soooooo much faster than the download speeds..(of course, it is all right there on the dVD) and if i am not mistaken Footprints brought all the claims into view----within a foot resolution on the birdseye view..... So i think i got spoiled with that software while in AZ... I have the CA dvds somewhere but i just moved and dont remember where i packed them-----or if they covered the area i am prospecting now or not.... I will look on the Footprints site and see.... i did google up the CAMC number on one claim and it gave the boundaries and layout of the claim on a map which was helpful..... so much available, but feet on the ground will be the best methodology in the long run---DID I SAY STEEP!!!!

i wanna go pocket hunting.... i mean..pocket gold finding!!!!

cool story... nice nuggy

Hello all, Some of you may be way ahead of me on this but I am just now trying to actively use LandMatters for researching areas to prospect.... Mining claim info is a top priority in a new area I am looking at-- I need to know what is claimed so I don't go high grading.... The fact is, I almost did until I opened the maps up thru LandMatters---and saw there was an obvious claim exactly where I was intending to go!!! I was struggling to understand the mapping software because I never listen to tutorials or read instructions...when i tripped over a you tube video explaining some very basic easy to understand tools to use the software... so i will post it,,just in case any of you are "challenged" like me....lol Thanks again to Ruby and Miner Diggins for putting all this together in one spot-- my donation is on the way...

I wondered the same thing since gold hound was using it successfully. paul

Hey Barry, Didn't the Footprints maps get us all the current claim boundaries???? Im confused because when me and Mel were putting claims up around Rich Hill the FP was what we went by.... am i wrong??? Was that because you were selling the dvds and had way more work in them??? I need to find some info on claims in CA and I am not going about it correctly..... prickly paul

Good man!

NIce!!!

Hahaha. ..just messing with you Steve.. I enjoy thinking out of the box and these shaft ideas get my attention now that I am having to pack in/pack out.

"When I finish this modification I swear I am never heading down that road again. It is its own sort of fun but really I just want to go detecting" and then... "Well, heck, posting this just cost me $264! Got the rod assembly on the way - stand by for Gold Bug 2 conversion." Hello my name is Steve and I am a detectorholic..... --I love it...

You just ordered SHAFT for a GB2----that doesn't sound like you have quit modding to me....lolol

Very nice. .. How come I didn't think of that?

Makes me wanna go buy one.. :-)

i not familiar with them..... time to research.....

Thanks for the reply, Steve.. And for the suggestions.... Tdi.....hnmmm

Uh...no thanks...got all I can handle here!!! :-)

OK, Thx... This is so steep you cant have anything in your hands except something to climb with...like a long handled pick i use. i will probably use climbing rope and an ascendar - clipped to me like a safety belt.... that way i wont fall too far if i slip.....I went to mtn climbing school in France taught by the french airborne....... but that was back in paleo days!!!!!!! Getting too old, but still stubborn...... PS Steve----I was speaking of the FrankenX...... you may as well sell it to me so it can some use..... I think i can finish her off for you.... https://youtu.be/4-hAGO0lnis

F19 Nokta gold SDC 2300 ATX Macro Racer/Gold Whites TDI SL CTX 3030 GPX5000 And the 7000, of course... Just trying to narrow down the next purchase.... Hunting NorCal mainly.... Hiking up and down very steep wooded canyons... So weight is a big, big factor! I was in a place last week that was so steep I had to put the 2300 in my pack and literally crawl out on all fours! Beautiful in the bottom, but looked like Hades going up the sides...lol.. Gotta lose 50 lbs now! :-) The ground sticks to my magnet like crazy. Red dirt, lots of buck shot size gravels, Didn't bother my 2300 tho... Saw a mistake by using the hockey puck coil on the ATGold underwater...bzzzzzt.. It is not an underwater coil !!! 100.00 shot...Did find one bullet before it fried tho....lol So what so you think I should be using...this is definitely billy goat country... But one more parameter.. When I come out of the canyons there is lots of ground to cover in burnt forests where I need a larger coil... I think I know my answer..And it is not altogether one of my choices above.... I think you know what it is Steve.... Grinning..

Great people!!!!! They even took me in....lol

Nice report!
