Valens Legacy

Welcome to the forum and you have found some of the nicest people in metal detecting at this site. I am sure that we can learn something from you and your skills and will enjoy reading about some of your finds. Please include pictures of your hunts as some of us do like to see new areas and the finds. When I was in Colorado with my grandfather we did a lot of panning and some detecting for gold. I know that the equipment you have can find some really nice nuggets our there. Good luck and happy hunting.

I can send you one of mine if need be, or you can come here and dig your own. A church I go to have come up with several for me, and I think there are more to be found. Very nice half on your last hunt, one of these days I will get one of those. Good luck on your next hunt.

Thanks for the story and pictures of this wonderful hunt. I thank you for recovering the lost history from the ground as I know it takes a lot of work to cover that much ground. Nice finds for a great person, good luck on your next hunt.

Have you checked with Gerry?

Great find and save on the ring, I guess the guy that lost it will now listen to his girlfriend to ask for directions. Nice to see you testing the shaft and getting to know it and how it performs. I will be watching for the full report when you are done.

Nice finds GB and congrats on the finds. Nobody will ever know how the token found it's way there unless a relative shows up to claim it. Good luck on your next outing.

Great finds over the years with a lot of bending over to dig them. I hope that you have many more years of detecting left due to the back and knees going to go out soon. Just kidding but I know that getting up and down from all the digging has my back hurting sometimes and I am still young. Good luck on your next outings.

Great find and not in to bad of shape. Good luck on your next hunt.

Welcome to the forum and glad your here. How long have you been detecting and what type of equipment are you using? We like a good hunt and the pictures that goes along with the hunt so if you have any to tell please let us join the hunt with you. Welcome aboard and good hunting.

Congrats on the nice hunting, one of these days I will be back out there to get some of those items myself. Good luck on your next hunt.

Another fine hunt for you. Glad to see some people out there when I am unable to get out of the house due to the weather. Good luck on your next hunt.

Grandmother got bite by one several years ago and still has problems with it. It is something that can stay with you a very long time so please take it easy and get well. Glad to see you back on here with some very nice finds, good luck on your next outing.

Great finds and glad to watch the digs. Wish you more luck on your next outing. Past few days have been cold and rainy here with a dusting of snow. Don't know if I will be able to get out for a hunt until it warms up.

Tony, Welcome to the forum and please share some of your stories and finds with us. We enjoy reading and seeing the adventures. Plenty of people here that can answer any of your questions if you have any, and with your experience maybe you can help some of us that could us your knowledge. Happy hunting!

Great finds and some nice gold.

Great finds and some nice saves. Good luck on your next hunt.

Fantastic hunting, glad you were able to get out there. Great finds and glad to have the story behind the finds. Good luck on your next hunt.

Quartz with some iron in it.

Nice finds for sure, but where's the gold. Just kidding and good luck on your next hunt.

Nice concept for the wheels, and after reading what you stated for the distance that you have to travel what about this. Make a sled that has retractable wheels like they do for airplanes in snowy areas. That way when you are on pavement you are using wheels, and can switch to sled mode when you hit the beach. With the right sled it would even be able to go through mud. Just a thought. Was the girl in the bottom picture your wife, if not is she available? Good luck.

Beautiful finds and glad they were recovered and not lost in history. Good luck and happy hunting.

Very nice hunt with some great looking nuggets, glad to see that you and your friends had some fun and some luck. Good luck on your next outing, as it may just be the right therapy for you.

Nice looking nuggets that you are finding. I wish you good luck in the next year to do even better.

Welcome to the forum and we are glad to have your knowledge with us. Please share some of your finds with us along with some pictures so we all can share the adventure with you. My grandfathers brother lived in Pendleton OR and we always had fun detecting and panning for gold there. Good luck and good hunting.

Another nice hunt for you. You should be able to remove the gold plating from the watch and cuff link and recover at least 2-3 grams of gold. Good luck on your next outing.
