do we think it's a ML promo stunt? or a 3rd party Amazon store party? either way the video reeks of fraud.

you are correct Sir. there are only about 25 full time residents on the island. when the military pulled out they left entire buildings of furniture. it's a bizarre place to visit because of these reasons. there is also only one "store" which opens every other day for 2 hours. think large walk-in closet with some metal shelves and one reefer with hot dogs and some meats. i paid $13 for a bag of doritos on the trip when we got stuck. gimme a bit and i can post some pictures.

i'll attempt to answer everyone's questions is one thread. 1. i am in anchorage. i just retired from the USCG two weeks ago and decided to remain here in the last frontier. 2. i am a life long all around treasure hunting, prospecting, outdoors type. if it's of value i'll dig for it, metal detect, search for it, yard sale hunt, thrift store rummage, storage unit auction, etc etc. 3. i currently have only 2 detectors- a Garrett GTI 2500 and my trusty old Fisher Gold Bug II. a new coin/relic machine is in my near future. 4. i have more pans and sluice boxes than i probably should. 5. rocks are pretty and i've been known to carry more than i should down off some remote mountain. 6. i've been to adak. twice. once we got stuck for 9 days. that place feels like the edge of the earth. also some of the best ptarmigan hunting you could ever ask for. -bryan
