Nice man!!

Great site Paul!!Some nice relics there!!!

Nice site Paul!

Good write up Ray. Seems impressive. It will be nice to use vibration,and not take headphones with you. Does vibration mode give indication as to depth/size of the target??

How about share the results with the specifics, here. Thanks, Ray

Amen Steve!I am so sick of seeing trash out in the wilds. Hell,they already ate that food and drank that beer,its lighter now!Pack it out dammit!

Good strategy. I dont go to that extreme,but I do try to hike as much as possible to stay ready for NoCals canyons. Being a roofer,I stay in decent shape,but it still kicks my butt when I havent been out for awhile.

Good luck Steve. I wanted to go,but slammed with work.

If no one answers here,ask on the Dankowski forum...lots of users there

HOLY CRAP!

Well,I was going to respond,but now its bedtime,lol. You are well known as a man with integrety. For a guy like me,who is very passionate about detecting,but have a very limited time to fo so,the work guys like you,Keith S., Tom,etc help improve my skills immensely. BTW..kinda good your not a relic hunter since your in my neck of the woods now,lol. Just kidding of course.

Very good and important write up Steve. Looking forward to your results with the Deus.

Looking good Chris!

Tom,sure your not thinking of gmp or f75? I hope xp does put out a smaller coil...or an elptical would be nice for prospecting.

Would like to say you make the best damn videos too Ron!Seriously, very well done bud! Cant wait for the next episode!!

Oh boy Bob....Its NOT a jeep!

Hey DDMK6,Sweet Cruiser!! I have a 71 That Ive owned since 1987.I used to commute 100miles a day to the Bay area in it,then come the weekend go wheelin.Now its sat neglected for last 12years,gonna sell it...just did some roof work in exchange for a nice 1979 CJ 5. I wouldnt trust Chinese engines any farther than I can throw them. Cheap crap gets ya cheap crap,i.m.o.

Awesome Steve!

beautiful nuggets man!

Awesome photos Steve...and yes,that sheep did look stoned,lol.

Ive been seeing alot lately too...and they seem to be agitated more thsn usual...hot temps maybe? Glad you didnt get bit.

No apologies necessary mox! I wasn't mad, and I know how I came off....but I have had hassles there and elsewhere....like I said, MY opinion only, but asking rangers, park personnel, city clerks etc if you CAN do something, most often gets you a no. Best to educate yourself in other ways. BTW,I gave you some good advice...if you plan on hitting ARA often, join the goldhounds.

Dude, just read your whole (long) post again...Am really not trying to be a dick, and I understand you just want to not get in trouble, BUT think about this....Some rookie, environmental greenie liberal ranger just got asked if someone can dig for gold and detect...now they see me, detecting, digging and I have some old relics and now have a big fat hassle. See where Im coming from? Coming here to ask questions is the right move. Good luck on your quest.

Don Robinson, founder of the goldhounds, has done alot to keep A.R.A open to us and to be able to pan,sluice,snipe and detect. This is my opinion only, but find the answers yourself before you go...dont go asking Rangers and such, they often don't know crap and you may cause headaches for someone like me.
