Love The Traveling Wilburys -
I wrapped a portion of the cable tightly with wraps touching and taped it to the rod with electricians tape. Left enough loosely wrapped to allow full extension of the rod. I would have included a photo, but the GB2 is in Arizona and I am in Alberta shoveling snow. Not too smart.

Hoover Stew – A Coalcracker in the Kitchen -
Several of the pictures seem to have a Copper colored hue in some areas. It may be a Gold/Copper alloy. I have seen Gold rings with some copper added that have a similar color

Is this a true fault or more like a tilted bed of hard rock intruding into the gravels? -
Nice finds, well done. Give me a call, "buddy".

I have an inReach device and have looked at the Zoleo. The Zoleo is easier to use. Both are good devices to be carrying off grid. BUT, if I were bitten by a Brown or Taipan 😮 I would want the satellite phone to actually talk to someone rather than fiddling with a device and smartphone trying send text messages.

My Creative Detecting / Overlanding Rig
hawkeye replied to Goldseeker5000's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Just curious, which detector? -
Oh boy, looks like my comment about restocking the burn barrel area at Rye Patch may have been taken the wrong way. The comment was made in jest because so many people have found nuggets in that area and it is still giving them up. No disrespect was intended. I respect anyone who can find a nugget in that area.

Does somebody go out and restock that burn barrel area--it has got to be the most pounded area in the Rye Patch.

That is very curious, why wouldn't the 12" NF have equal sensitivity around the entire circle like the ML 14"? Is it not wound the same as the ML?
-
You talking about the 12" Nuggerfinder coil?

My Walco Pick Finally Arrived!
hawkeye replied to Goldseeker5000's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
GS, I mailed a letter from Alberta to Phoenix area that took 2 weeks, so all things considered a month from OZ ain’t too bad. Be careful with that bad boy pick. Wouldn’t want to trip and fall on the pointy end. -
Norm It has been my good fortune to meet you, spend time with you on club outings, and meet you occasionally by chance in the goldfields. I too got a warm smile and the feeling that you were truly glad to see me. You always treated me like an old friend--thank you. I am saddened to hear of your diagnosis. God bless you. Ken
