Nice memorial vid of Mr Webb.

You are lucky to have known him. 

Soooooooo , did he ever find the 35000 and did ya ever get a look at that map ?

If his wife and daughter are still around ? Maybe you could make his dream come true ....

Guess we'll find out next week,, maybe.

I'm starting to feel like I might buy one ,,,with the clad quarters I've found cuz by the time that 6000 is released I'll have enough of 'em.......😉

Real or not , it sure gave us all something to think (and post) about ! 

My uncle used to use the "rods" , taught us kids too.

If someone finds a huge hunka with the rods , more power to ya and keep up the good work !

BUT , here I am with my Nox 800.

Welcome and  come on in , you're out ! 

My first detector was a Micronta from Rat Shack in the 80"s ?  I still have it ,  it's a 6Khz.

Mine had 4 knobs ,,,and today I actually know what they do ! Oh my goshk ..

Welcome aboard !

If anybody has gold finding in his blood  , hard to imagine more of it than you !

If you meet any ghosts on the tailings , ask him to point to the big one !

Nice place for a stroll no doubt !

Can I come with ya next time ?

🤐 I can keep a secret...skuh kuh kuh kuh kuh 

I haven't used mine that much and don't have any exp with other brands so no advice on that . There are other things to consider , for me anyway..

I know the bigger ones are more likely to get the target first try...but I got a smaller one cuz I didn't want to lift the extra weight a ? times every hunt.  (Bad elbows , old pirate !)

I also use a short D type handle off an old garden spade I had and just pull instead of pry .  Great price and less weight than the 4 foot ash one !     Prolly upgrade to fiber some day ... SO many to choose from , so little time. 

I didn't think I would use it that much either but finding out me elbows like the beach better for diggin' treasarrr too !

Good luck on yer huntin' matey .

    I'd be mighty happy with that haul  .  And a finger tiara too ! 

You ought to trust that intuition , it be treatin' ya good arrrrrrrrrrrrr ! 

Now , THAT'S my kind of youtoooob rabbit hole !

An unregulated solar panel can put out up to 20+ volts no matter how many watts it's rated for..

The solar controller regulates that to battery charging level 13-15 volts  depending on sun exposure , how well it charges also depends on how many watts the panel (s) puts out.  

A battery is a good buffer  for the voltage swings plus---- !!!! the solar controller needs to see a load or the panels could easily destroy it . IE: release the magic smoke !

A USB outlet is 5 volts.  

You can get 12 volt powered ciggy lighter sized unit typically with 2 USB outlets and maybe a digital voltage readout that will replace that ciggy plug socket for about $15 US , not sure of where you might source them? but you can find them on amazon. or any of the usual places like that. Look for "fast charge" types. 

This would save the need for a 12volt inverter plus wiring , and the resulting conversion loss of the extra stages inline.  (unless you need mains power for something else ?

Use fuses .

Hope that gets you going to keep on going.>>>>>>>>>

Welcome aboard  !

Come in from the dark to the posting side of the forums.

Now you can ask all those things you want to know and post pics of your successful finds !

Welcome aboard Beeps R Us.

Happy hunting to you.

Hang it from a string and flick it with your fingernail .

Well , it would save you the price of a cane topper. 

So start there and price up if you like it.  

Welcome aboard  !

I don't think anyone would complain if you posted pics of previous interesting finds...

Nice lookin' cleanup !

 Interesting research on the button.

I wonder if any antique shops would like one of those made with bottle caps and pull tabs ??

I could "clean up" twice as often !

Maybe it's a souvenir of the Red Rocks performance venue ?

No matter where you hunt the answer is the same...

As many as it takes !

You won't know exactly until you find one.

Nice piece of history !

I'd go back and see if it was a claim that was gold bearing ...

OOOOO , that will sweeten up the pouch nicely !

I really appreciate it when I find something that is right on top,,,no digging makes my elbows happy !

And if it's a ring OK , in the pouch !

welcome aboard DB

Looks like you sure didn't forget where to hunt !

My shoulder killed me for a week after my first hunt last summer .

It ain't easy getting old , but the toys are better ! 

Welcome aboard GH.

Go for the gold .  

But If you find something else ,,,, keep a can of gold spray paint in the truck.

Welcome aboard Greg.

Nice button find  !
