Bullseye Trx Price Continues To Climb
Cascade Steven replied to ☠ Cipher's topic in White's Metal Detectors
Thanks for the insight. I personally would never have guessed that the prices would increased to such a level. I too have one in my repertoire of equipment, am very satisfied with its performance and would not consider selling it under any circumstances. If Garrett is monitoring the market, this should be a hint to them that bringing this product back onto the market could potentially be profitable. However, the TRX would directly compete with Garretts own pin pointer which is also a problem for them. -
Congrats on the gold! And thanks to Gerry and Lunk for sharing.

Keene Price Increase
Cascade Steven replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Gold Panning, Sluicing, Dredging, Drywashing, Etc
Like most people, I am not a fan of inflation and price increases. But as mentioned previously, their products are worth the investment. And, if it is either a price increase or they go out of business with the complete loss of their product line, I personally would vote for the price increase. I like their products and would personally like to see them stay in business. -
Very nice work! Is that Oregon Obsidian?

Hope you have a great trip and much success. Will miss you and look forward to your return. Best wishes.🙂

They do look very good. In addition to ankle support I am also curious about the grip of the tread, especially on rocky, rough and wet terrain?

Yes, Happy Father's Day to all dads. Didn't make it out to look for gold but had a good day none-the-less. 😎

RR: congratulations on your gift! Very nice. My wife has been to Australia and reports that is is a wonderful country with very nice people, wonderful scenery and very interesting geology. It has been my goal for many years to visit that great country, explore the geology and maybe do a little nugget hunting. But unfortunately I am no longer able to sit on an airplane for such an extended period of time. So alas, my desire has now become only a dream. Based on my wife's experience, for any one that is able to go, I would highly recommend a trip to Australia.🙂

Congratulations! Is that all Montana gold?

Finally A Big Nugget Caught On Film With The 6k
Cascade Steven replied to afreakofnature's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Very interesting! Both are nice finds. Yes, the depth on the 1/4 gram is impressive. 🙂 Looks like the 6000 could be a winner. It will be nice to see the results of its application here in the states once we have machines in the field. -

Detecting A Gravel Bar For Gold Nuggets
Cascade Steven replied to Smithsgold's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Thanks for sharing. -
Part 3 of the series reviews some of his spreadsheet techniques and gives examples of some of the data fields he collects. As he mentions, there are many other data fields that can be added. The title of the video is "DIY DATA Power - How to DIY Your Own Gold Detecting Finds" and the link is (15585) DIY DATA Power - How to DIY Your Own Gold Detecting Finds - YouTube. A good and informative video that provides a nice starting point for those interested in both data collection and interpretation to increase their level of success.

Small bits are always better than no bits. Have fun! Just curious, are these from stream placer searches?

Thanks for sharing this article. In my own research on gold deposit formation and gold nugget formation I have found a variety of hypothesis for gold deposition starting with the work of Lindgren in 1901. These hypothesis can be organized into groups of hypothesis by deposit model depending upon whether one is considering vein deposits, disseminated deposits, replacement deposits, skarn deposits, greenstone gold deposits or other models. And there seems to be some overlap between hypothesis within given groups and between groups. As implied in the article, there may more than one process involved and gold vein formation may differ from some aspects of gold nugget formation. However, it is interesting to consider that there may be an overlap in the two processes (vein formation and nugget formation). And as mentioned (or implied) in the article, this new insight and understanding may present new opportunities for exploration and nugget patch location. The original academic paper contains some interesting images and accompanying descriptions. This research poses an interesting question: is this process an over-arching or umbrella type of process that is active in the formation of many of the various types of deposits (i.e. deposit models)? Only further research will provide the answer. However, the more we understand about the geology of gold formation and deposition the greater the probability of success, and this research has certainly added to both our understanding and our arsenal of exploration tools.
