I was wondering when you'd get back to work up there. Nice going. I have seen you at work and am not surprised to see your successes. You have been focused on this hobby for years and what you are finding is not luck.

An Afternoon Trip Near La Porte
flakmagnet replied to Gold Catcher's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Good going Andreas. I love that you, unlike many of us, take the time to explore new untried areas. It's inspirational. -
The knee pads pictured below are lightweight, have a hard shell that completely negates any pointy rocks and if the elastic strap adjustments aren't perfect, use some duct tape to keep them in place. I've used them for 20 years and they have always been just right. You can get them at Home Depot or online.

Do You Use AI To Help Your Metal Detecting Skill Set?
flakmagnet replied to mntnflyr4fun's topic in Detector Prospector Forum

HECK yeah!

GotAU, the most obvious change was the addition of locking switches on each headphone. That a was one thing that I had a problem with on the earlier headphones, my cords that run from the wireless transmitter on my left harness strap to the sound enhance on my right harness would brush the headphone and turn off the sound etc. The wiring connecting to the headphones on either side seem more securely attached as well, but that is only a guess. The build is the same as far as comfort goes and the sound quality, at least for me, is the best I have found. I would love to be able to afford and find a pair SteelPhase Pro Series Headphones, I hear they are terrific.

I Don't Want To Make You Sick (Gold Price Question)
flakmagnet replied to mn90403's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
When I first started dredging for gold, the price per ounce was just a touch over $200 - I try not to think of how much the pieces I found then would be worth now. I do remember there used to be 'gold buyers' who would come down to the river once every week or so and pay cash for the nuggets we were finding. As an aside, it's a shame todays gold seekers don't have the chance to dredge in our mother lode rivers, it was some of the most fun (and the hardest work) I ever experienced. -
Not Sure I Want To Crush This One!
flakmagnet replied to Lead Detector's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
It's a beauty and very instructional. A tough choice to crush it for sure. -
Wow, just think if he was doing that now…30K/month... The photo I posted from 1978, gold was a touch above 190/oz…a pretty amazing change these days, it's up 1,554%.
