Things To Do If You Can’t Go Metal Detecting
fredmason replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Some of the east coast Indians made robes for their chiefs from moles...that is a lot of skins...but very pretty. gophers can be trapped because they use the same pathways... moles wander all over because they are hunting grubs and worms... fred -
I am just guessing, but... I think the QED folks want more USA customers ... potential USA buyers want a service center here, before they buy... which comes first the chook or the egg? fred

Your Techniques For Trashy Tailing Piles
fredmason replied to vanursepaul's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Steve, as always is correct... The amount of iron in tailing piles depends on how much stuff got thrown in and how many iron screens and tacks got in the mix. I have never found big nuggets in the header piles, yet, but plenty of little nuggets in the tailings....also, the ground beneath may have not been worked....and the spaces between the piles...you just don't know until you try. fred- 64 replies

Your Techniques For Trashy Tailing Piles
fredmason replied to vanursepaul's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Snookum yes, a large coil will drive you nuts...pick your battles and match your weapons to match. You have four excellent detectors. I would not use a Gpz or 2300 on piles in Az if they are full of trash. A magnet/rake will help. fred- 64 replies

I am not offended, Jonathan... I may be a bit envious of your location and opportunity to hunt gold. Your choices will save your family and that is a wonderful thing! The pictures and lessons give me strength...please do not stop. Thanks, Fred

Just what I do not want....people in bright yellow shirts traversing the desert...way too gimmick-y for me. fred

One of the saddest things I ever read by Karl Von Mueller… "my sabre is bent and I don't get around well anymore." I reckon I could/should be saying that now... fred

Old Halls Creek....I was close to there... once again they dug a couple of nuggets and walked away....BS, again. and every thing they touch breaks.... hard to believe, fred
