Hard Prospector

Bungees........I hate em but they help keep my rotater cuff from getting pissed off and screaming

Not sure how many of you know but Radio Shack has defaulted on their reorg. loan and the company is not expected to survive. Anything you may need get it now before they pull the plug. They've been around for nearly 100 years (what a shame)

Just ordered a F75 yesterday (3 weeks on back order) and it too comes with the 11in. DD. I think Steve mentioned recently looking into the NEL Tornado coil for trashy mining sites, it I'm not mistaken.

The areas I prospect in the southwestern deserts, most of the gold/quartz deposits seem shallow and almost always iron oxides or iron stone is present. Where the host rock of the district is granite, when I start seeing iron stone strewn about I've learned to slow down and be through. Areas of bookshelf schist with crusty mineralized quartz veins get worked over with my PI and VLF machines til I'm satisfied. I know of guys who have found nuggets in iron oxide "blow outs" or seems of this red fine grained powdered stuff so as the saying goes, gold is where you find it. These are just personal experiences, I'm no geologist...........Rob

Nice haul for the effort

Hello to all, my name is Rob and I live in Southern Ca. Most prospecting I do is in the desert, been nugget shooting for several years and consider myself a novice but constantly trying to improve. Some of you have been very generous with your knowledge and experience (on this site and others) which has really helped "my game"  and I appreciate it. I look forward to contributing here and wish you all good luck in the diggs
