Cmon! Is detecting only going to be a hobby for the rich, or bachelors? Hopefully its way less than that, or you can count alot of us out.

Cheap used Tesoro maybe,,,or maybe do what Ron has done....take a ace150, and make it into a pinpointer. Maybe he will chime in and explain how he made his...or kick my butt for spilling his creation,lol.

Reading these posts remind me once again why I like you Aussies so much! OH, and great work on the picks, both yall!

Defintely do bud! I told the wife earlier, "we are going camping on the Trinity",lol. We are just tent campers.My wife and daughter dont have the gold bug, but do love to fish.

Thanks buddy. I think I may take the family there this summer, explore a new area. If we do, I will be sure to let you know!

Also on that d.c. campground, how is the fishing??

Ha, yes. Guilty of skimming over, and not reading the details. Yes sure is expensive. Especially considering the riffraff that camps there. If your going to charge that much, better hire some security. Had couple bad experiences with spun out tweakers there when my kids where small, wont go now.

Tvanho...you gotta let them know , your crazier than them. I lived in Manteca...aka Mantweaka, lol.

Haha, you know it buddy!! Yall nuggetshooters use the desert theme, us relic guys dont like to be seen!

Tvanho...tweakers are meth heads...dummies spun out on dope.

Really Chris? Im just the opposite, I think the NFA is way more beautiful than the slimy bear river. And if you hike aways, you can find gold that you can see without a magnifying glass,lol.

Ill post the next one way ahead of time. Would love to meet yall!

Nice chunks!

Aahhh man! Well, hope it gets better from here buddy!

They are a constrictor, like the carpet python. Hey man, you know they sell carpet pythons here in America as pets, for hundreds of dollars.

Here ya go Hard Prospector. Arrests start for California suction dredge miners By David Smith dsmith@siskiyoudaily.com Posted May 12, 2015 at 9:02 AM Suction dredge miners are starting to choose time in the county jail over a citation for engaging in an activity still considered illegal by the state of California. Vacuum-powered dredging devices have made their way back to the state’s waters with an influx of miners who have interpreted a January court ruling as invalidating a state moratorium that has been in place since 2009. Accoring to attorney James Buchal, who represents mining groups and individual miners, the return to California has landed some miners in jail. He explained Monday that the miners have been approached by wardens from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and have been cited for suction dredging without a permit, which is still considered illegal by statute. According to Buchal, miners presented with a choice between a citation and going to jail have started choosing jail as a way to have their case heard before a judge. So far, he said, none of the miners he represents have made it to trial, with a number receiving notice to appear in court in the coming months. CDFW is awaiting the outcomes of a set of related cases before it decides whether or not it will keep or dismiss the moratorium.

Hey John, California King...heres my son with one. They eat rattlers, so theyre cool.

AMRA just added 2 claims in the Consumnes drainage. They have plans of adding more in Idaho, I believe. And Shannon has posted that he has areas he would like to claim, but lacks the funds. He said if someone wants to file them and allow member access, he will give them membership. TVanwho...well, depends how you interpet it. Going by judge Ochoa's ruling, yes. But dfg not issuing permits, and say they will cite. I know many guys are taking the yes answer,lol. Go to AMRA website for better info. Ray

run into rattlers on almost a weekly basis..probably because I spend most my time in the low foothills, and they seem to be the most common species, followed by gopher then king snakes. Keep your eyes peeled buddy!
