Jeff:

Thanks for the effort.  Very informative tests and definitely food for thought.

I ran just a very quick search and found a couple of sites that may be of help.  However, you may have already discovered these sites.  If not, hope this helps is some small way.

I also found this "deep silver" program listed for sale on ebay.  I don't know if it is of interest so, again I present it for your consideratin.

Best Wishes

I stumbled across this program and am not certain if it is what your are referencing.  So I will provide the link for your review.

Reese:

Just wanted to wish you the best with your new location.  As I read your post it occurred to me that you might have the "makings" of another book.  An autobiography of sorts describing your experiences and lessens learned from this life style and advice for anyone that may be considering such an adventure.  Just a little food for thought.

Hope your next nugget is a big one.

Geotech: 

Thankyou very much for the schematic  and also your thoughts on the mod.  Much appreciated.

As an  outsider, I am reading this thread with interest.  A question out of curiosity:  is it possible to provide a simple schematic diagram showing the parts and values used and the attachment points on the circuit board?  I know it would help me understand.   Thanks.

I agree with Jasong and Jawbone.  It looks like a zeolite and probably natrolite.  But as Jasong mentioned, without more detail and context, it is difficult to be certain.

Chiil:

You've just brought up a very good point that is actually a good piece of advice for all of us no matter the brand of our detector.  We may inadvertently forget and leave our detector in a hot environment, and later pay the price.  A good word to the wise for all of us.  Thanks for the "heads up" warning.

Great news and I am very happy for your success.

locator:

thanks for your input.

John:

thanks for the info.  Greatly appreciated.

Chiil:

Thanks for the update and although I do not have any answers, I do wish you the very best with this project.

John:

A sluice newbee question:  what criteria do you use to judge the proper water flow in your sluice, assuming the slope angle is correct?  Thanks in advance for your help.

John:

Thanks for the additional info

John:

Nice job!  And nice gold!  For those readers that would like to duplicate your work, do you have a circuit diagram and parts list that you are willing to share?  Thanks in advance.

Reese:  

Congratulations on both your find and also your skill set.  Nice job!

My condolences to Linda.

I am still in the learning phase about coils and have a question about Detech coils.  Has anyone conducted a test or field test of Detech coils vs Nel coils vs other after market coils vs stock coils, especially for any of the Whites instruments?  I am especially interested in results for the TDI series or Goldmaster 24k?  Just curious.  Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for sharing pictures of your work, ideas and results.  Congratulations of finding gold.

Jim:

Thanks.  I know Cominco American (Company may have a different name now) was at one time conducting diamond exploration in that general area.  That is why I asked the question.  I was curious if they were the ones doing the drilling.  I was told that they had changed company names, but I'm not certain of the details.

Jim: 

Do you know, per chance, who did the drilling for diamonds, and if so can you share the information?  Just curious.

chiil:

Just curious if you have had an opportunity to test the replacement display, and if so did it work as desired?

Congratulations on some nice looking stones.

Congratulations on your purchase! I am very glad for your and your success.
