Blurb is a perfect choice for your book Reg. You have a history few can match and Blurb will do a great job with your many priceless photographs. It's good to know you're recovered from your surgery, welcome back.

Good going, the 6000 isn't worth a thing unless it has a persistent operator. Nice work.

Nice finds...

I long ago realized that the gold most of us are seeking is all around us when we are out doing what we love. I have been lucky enough to have found my 2oz piece, I have dredged literally pounds of gold in mother lode rivers, and over the five decades I have looked for gold, I have realized that for me it is the impulse to search that is the real gold. Great write-up Gerry, thanks for taking the time. Good hunting.

Wouldn't be making any decisions off that video.

Good advice... If you have driven on ice you will immediately know driving on this stuff is definitely taking a chance. The illusion of control unexpectedly disappears in a heartbeat.

What I was hoping you'd say. Minelab? Dija hear the man?

Norvic, what do you think an update would be able to incorporate as it relates to a 6000?

I also detect with a sunblock shirt, it buttons up, has a collar and long sleeves with ample pockets. VERY helpful in the sun.

A fun read Rob and thought provoking. Thanks.

Thanks Condor, the three of you gave a well-rounded picture - i'm appreciative of the time taken to share with us.

Now that would be a spectacular move by MineLab.

Gerry, that's a great observation and I am sure there are many people who recognize what you are trying to get across to help all of us. Also happy that despite nay-sayers, you have continued to talk about these critical detecting details. Thanks...

I guess it's not surprising that many are suspicious or disappointed in this article, a sign of the times. Instead why not view it - celebrate it - as a necessary step that is being attempted? Something that up to now, no-one has been willing or able to do. Should setting out the successful points they have accomplished be characterized as "teasing" dredgers? Or, are these necessary steps that have to be taken on behalf of all of us in order to overturn the ridiculous restrictions that have been placed on recreational dredgers? I guess time will tell.

"Bacon and Beans From a Gold Pan", one of the best books ever. I have had a copy since the late 70's and it's dog-eared from rereading. Nice nuggets Lucky!

(I know)

Nice work! If you're finding pieces like that, you won't miss the big one.

Great job, a sense of humor is real gold these days. Thanks...

If this is Minelab attempt at making evocative and involving videos, they missed the boat. Salting the supposed finds is a monstrous no-no. The videos are static and completely non-involving. They could have done so much better with almost the same amount of production time. Too bad they didn't learn anything from the way you produced your DVS's JP.

Check...

Condor your posts always make sense and show that you think out of the box. Congratulations to both of you and continued good hunting.

Unfailingly, this is Lunks default post; finding gold where others have looked. No matter how flogged the area, it seems to make no difference. You are always an inspiration, continued good hunting.

wow Scott,what an article…dense reading but very interesting.

good work!
