Way cool! Let me know when AMDS get the demo model in, we'll take it for a test ride
Actually I'll be bringing one down to the claims to shoot some video this spring.

Check out this newly available off road only version of the old WW2 Jeep we just started selling at AMDS! If you want to rip and tear then a side by side would be great but if your looking to haul and pull this looks like this would be the ticket. Just what every gold prospector needs!

I see a 40 mile about 40 miles upstream from Dawson...?
The concept was developed to access a difficult gorge..... I would not class it as suitable for a long regular commute, the fuel costs would be prohibitive....
Try these coordinates for the 40 mile.. 64 15.9211'N 141 44.0835'W. With so much of Alaska being touchable only by airboat or plane this would be a very smart concept to introduce to people.

It's highly unlikely I'll ever get to NZ but that would be awesome! I know a couple people that are looking at this closer now to run up on the 40 Mile here in Alaska.. think you started something! lol

Awesome video.. want to see more about that dredge/boat of yours!

Garrett Gravity pan for me.. I am kinda anxious to try the new oblong pan that they came out with, I understand they quit making the regular Garrett Gravity pan.

That was a really great Top 9 things.. still wondering what number 7 was?

WOW! I have been using OnX for years and if they added claim info it would be a must have for all prospectors and many metal detector enthusiasts. It already is in many ways but that would be over the top. Great job goldseeker - let’s hope they bite.
Works great up here in Alaska.. been using it for a couple years now.

Did you make the arrowhead or find it?

That's really cool!

HAHA.. think I've tried everything possible to keep my regulator from freezing over the years. Even tried running hot water down the line from a hot water heater, never worked.

I had this problem when I used to lease my claims to the GPAA.. people felt that they could "claim" an area and leave their equipment, trash, tarps and junk there the whole summer and sometimes over the winter. This lead to me almost getting a massive fine.. LONG story short, the way I see it is that you are paying only for the right to use claims owned by someone else. If you want your own "claim" then buy one. It's no fun to have to pay to rent a 580L backhoe (out of your own pocket) to re-contour the sides of the river, fill in holes, dig out garbage and tarps that people decided to bury instead of pack back out, having claims now that are destroyed now for metal detecting because somebody who hated metal detectorist's decided to throw 50lbs if buckshot everywhere and as the claim owner I was responsible for everything that happened on them.
Please don't take this the wrong way.. I thank you for bringing up the subject. Just a few facts (from a long story) behind my opinion.

I thought installing quick disconnects to the intake was going to be straight forward and a simple PVC slip fitting with a threaded end! Well that Keene fitting is not standard 2 1/2 PVC pipe.
I googled for any info on the intake with a Cam Loc fitting, looks like I'm the only one looking to do this. I did figure out you can replace the Keene fitting( Armadillo Mining 18.00 ea.) With that I decided to get creative. Reality set in and being we are looking at a low pressure suction connection I figured id just glue my 2 1/2 inch Cam Loc fitting to the PVC nipple. I ended up using Sikaflex 1a to do this.
Here is what I ended up with, hope it holds.
Many years ago after I (like an idiot) sold my 6" with Promack pumps I tried to get Keene to do the threaded intake on their pumps but they refused. Thanks for the reminder.. I just emailed Mark/Pat about it to see if they can do it yet.
Armadillo mining?? Really Steve? lol

AMDS stickers! When I bought my Keene A52 there, there weren't any stickers on hand. Instead I did get a free 100 year anniversary Evinrude hat. Steve, were you the salesman? Lol
Maybe small reflective stickers too, for hardhats and tool boxes?
Bryce,
Don't have any reflective stickers but if you want to pm me your address, I'll throw a couple in the mail for you.
