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!

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!
