Snakes, Thorns And Other Causes For Concern
deathray replied to Rad Rocks's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
I run into rattlesnakes reguarly. Luckily, ours here in NoCal, are pretty chill. Ticks...I HATE ticks. Had pit bulls come at me twice...stupid tweakers...first time, was ready to stick my Apex in it, second time, had my Glock. Glad I didnt have to kill a dog, but came close -
Wow! Some honkers there! And I share your sentiments...I am happiest just being out in nature

Im kinda a backpack junky. Check out REI. For a onetime $20, you can become a member. They have great deals in their outlet and garage sale sections. But, this is kinda high end stuff.

Im in construction, thats my daily routine. Except, I buy cases of water, usually throw 6-7 in freezer at night. That saves me from buying ice. -

Minelab Manticore Vs Equinox 800/900 For Gold Nuggets
deathray replied to Gerry in Idaho's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
What you wrote up Gerry, is why I bought a 900. My Deus is on life support, so ready for new vlf. If the manti had a 6 inch coil, I would have bought one...had one with my name on it, passed on it. Now...if it would only stop raining/ snowing here in Cali...the winter from hell -
Couple of nice taps there

You beat me too it. Around here, Calaveras county, thats the worse. I live next too New Hogan Lake...theres a shooting spot nearby, dudes bring in cars, rvs, hundreds of bottles, etc...looks like a landfill. I love to shoot, but find this disgusting.
