Welcome aboard the crazy train ! If you're new to detecting start with Steve's Guides . If you would like a more personal clue session some of the dealers give classes (some are even free if you buy a detector ). Ask on the forums if you have any questions and you'll hit paydirt with the answers ! (We DO like hunt stories with pics if you're so inclined....)

Geeze ! And I though north of Uptah Camp was bad ! We only have no see ums , "mingies" (might be the same as no see ums but nobody can tell) , black flies , various types of mosquitoes , deer flies , horse flies ("green heads")+ moose flies.....in order of size . Oh yeah , tiny deer ticks have become an issue since Lyme Disease started up too ! I've seen vids of a moose so covered in THEM it killed the giant !!!!errrrk There might be a few I missed. And the house flies don't count...they only make maggots , not try to suck you dry ! Good thing it freezes over up here or we'd all be lost to the hoards!!!!!! Net suits , deet 40% ,+ permethrin are the preferred weapons of defense. arrrrrrgh somebody release the Kraken !

Your development strategy seems to be working by the looks of it Joe , and the results aren't to shabby either!

Sad story for your neighbors. Losing all you have in the world is a bitch , I've BTDT more than once and it ain't any fun...... Some of those places looked like the owners might not have enough to rebuild either . Hope they can get it back to livable before winter .

No surprise vegemite would cure covid ! But 2 doses just "Ain't Right" ! The culinary review phrunt posted is spot on ! At least for me... But you'll have to try it before you know for sure about you !!!!!! Who invented that stuff anyway ??? The prison cooks ? Must have been a food shortage 'er sumpin'........

I'd see Fred+Friends and think ,,,,Hmmm , I wonder what they'd taste like. (Kinda like if you saw a moose here I guess.)

Gotta dig them 20s . After all , Zincolns ARE better than pull top tabs ! Nice contrast with the gold against all that,,, well sorta copper. Good "perseverance" detecting !

Glad we finally found out what to use.......

Nice big chunka !

The staining makes it easier to read that merc !

Interesting hunt. Hope the next visit is as good ...

Welcome aboard ! You hit gold when you found this forum ! The road you seek is out there but the map is gonna be hard to decipher. You've had some pretty good directions posted but only you can decide the right way to get there .....these guys are the real deal , listen carefully. Here's my .02 Making any kind of "income" from this will be a way of life , probably more than just a part time job. If you find you like detecting and being out in nature for all the reasons besides finding gold . Have no expectations . Maybe a streak of good luck will come your way....but maybe not. 1st question So do you (and the wife have a history of camping out in the boonies and did you both love it ? 2nd question Do you have retirement income so you can survive while waiting for the stars to align and you start "making that living " you're hoping for ? Last one... Are you both willing to work at this more than those 4 hours ? Yes to all of it ? May the force be with you.....

....and always check the hole after you pull out the junk !

Nice silvers !

Zincolns. I thought about this for at least a minute... My conclusion is If the banks pass them out as real money ,,,, they have to take them back as real money ! Some day someone might figure out some way to use them to stop covid ????? But I'm NOT swallowing one as a test.....

Nice ,,,xray vision there Superman ! Enjoying the view ....woof .

If it glows ,,put it on your hat and go detecting at night !

Nice set of jewelry for the hunt ! I hate vapes . Need that 1/2 find (even a Kennedy)...............but vapes get me every time ! so far..

I recognized it right away ! Think I might have hobbit blood..but dwarf isn't out of consideration .. I think there were 7 but only 1 to rule them all............heyyyyyy they filmed those down under , might be some "real" ones to be found ....so YEAH ,,,DON'T put it on !

I walk a bit of beach uptah camp , and so do the others there but the towel crowd always seem to plunk down the first bare spot they get to..so earlier it's near the parking and moves out from there as the day goes on. The ones walking,,,well they'll be right there with you ! "Did you find anything????" The southern beaches kinda the same but there are many more places to park plus hotels and other attractions on the beach spreads it out much more......but still clusters spreading out from each access point . ACCESS POINTS themselves at the big beaches could take up a day without getting near the wet stuff......

Similar weather here 350 ! Thought Henri would break it up but it swung west and hit New York. Today might just be a detecting day if I ever stop posting though..Skuh kuh kuh kuh

I look at it as "if I can dig a million pull tabs , one of 'em might be a gold ring". Haven't got to a million yet.....but I will ! I remember the early days of pull tabs ,,,there were a lot more people throwing them on the ground than there were people saying "anybody see a gold ring anywhere , I just lost mine !" So that's your odds #s . YMMV skuh kuh kuh kuh kuh kuh (and who was the genius that made pull tabs the same ID as gold ????)

Love your shade tree upgrades ! Keep'em comin' Mom gets priority over my detecting too.. She gave me enough priority growing up , it's payback time.

Good review . (Nice lookin' Roger there BchPatrol ! arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr )

I don't need to fix any broken coil tabs on the NOX .. but I'm picking up a package of that Gorilla Weld 2 part for the adhesives drawer !
