Just remember that zincons can come in in the same VDI as a large gold ring. After digging zincs for 5 years - I was rewarded with these.2 weeks apart. Both a 20 VDI. Non zincs come in at 22-24. Surprised the heck out of me. 8 and 10 grams 14k.

Got mine Monday - can't wait to try it out!

Sorry for extra pics HH all!

I hike and bike so also wanted the option of a backpack to carry gear. I got the folding Mod and it is sturdy. It was a trade off with adding 5 oz. Folded with the stock coil the width is 17" due to control unit. I am making this more compact, ordered the Mod to fold down the control unit. Being 5' tall, I like a smaller packs, and the 17" W wasn't fitting as well as hoped in what I had, and didn't want to go with a pack that bounced on my rump. 🙂 I"ll post more pics when new mod is installed HH all!

Though I don't prospect, I'd like to share this - HH and enjoy! https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2019/05/worlds-rarest-form-natural-gold-reveals-secrets/

Thank you all for the kind comments - still working on my 100 hours, but enjoying a bit of extra depth.

Weather was just too nice not to camp this weekend here on the Wet side of WA. Off to a older camp ground that once had a apple orchard with a few old trees left. Zillions of pull tabs and can slow, but managed to pull a pile of coins including the 64 and 53 Silver Rosies. The silver came in on the first day, 20 minutes apart. I don't think I have ever had a 2 silver day, and the nox was pulling deep for our stupid soil. Thanks for looking, and HH

Steve, I can't say how helpful I find your discussions on mineralized ground have been. living in the PNW. Thank you!

Thank you all! Coming from a Garrett to a Minelab, I hope I can catch on to the tones and vdi.

I have sold 2 finds (after many photos) so I could upgrade my equipment - but would never sell my first silver!

Wow, I couldn't do a gold dance crazy enough if I found that!

Very nice group of finds! Was the Buckle silver?

Hello All! Afer getting a new EQ 800, searching on the net brought me here - great info! I'm up in Yacolt WA, on the E Fork of the Lewis river. HH all!
