Congrats Rob.  Too hot and humid right now for me.

I get more and more calls each year of customer that purchase from Amazon, as they can get the detector in some cases the same day and use incentives from Amazon.  

Right, but they can't get the customer service that you and Gerry offer...

He told me he doesn't even bother trying to isolate small gold he just takes the scoop that has the target in it and dumps it in a bag and takes it home and pans it out.

I used to do that with my old Goldmaster machine.  Worked great even when the targets were all lead.

This one is $10 more but safer and stronger. It is full tang, so the handle won't snap off and it has a cross guard so your hand can't slip up on the blade when you hit a rock under the soil. Just food for thought.

Thanks I bought the full tang one last night.

Does anyone use this?   Seems like a good price.

I always have a leatherman in my pack.  I also carry Silicone tape or self fusing tape in my truck. For VLF hunting I bring my crevice tool for bedrock hunting and a McCloud for raking tailing piles down.    https://www.thefirestore.com/Fire-Hooks-Unlimited-Wildland-McCloud-Tool?handle-options=210&gclid=CjwKCAjwyryUBhBSEiwAGN5OCFtI-zPb91w_M3NURsgLXTZ-r9i6VJQTbxdsjQwcO8DLgBrkaIIE-hoCn_cQAvD_BwE

I would tell you to go but I'm not the guy who has to pay your bills.

It's a shame because there are some amazing finds in the state that just never get seen at all now because of it all.

Yep.  I was blessed this past weekend to see and hold some very nice multi ounce pieces that were found by a friend with a 7000.  You will never see these on any forum.

Oh boy, another person selling a fictitious mining journal. 

Don't know how I missed this but I need a new key board.  Spit soda all over it laughing.

That brings back some good memories only it was a big wheel.

Simon if you had a jack right now I’d be telling you to ……..!! 😂 

 

Only because I thought that joke was funny and I can relate to it.   LOL.

Get a gold pan.

Gators don't scare me now snakes well that's different.  LOL

I made it up to the point where they found the large nugget.  Worst movie I ever started to watch.

Hopefully Friday & Saturday Jed will be back & there is some trouble brewing. Thanks for reading the journal. 

Thank you for posting it.  

I am really missing Jed. 😒  I understand why you're not right now.

Congrats on the gold sir.  I would wish you luck but somehow I don't think you need it. 😉

Anyway, here is my KFC chicken drumstick, my favourite nugget I've ever found.

Not a fan of KFC but I would take that drumstick in a heartbeat

Congrats on a successful training session.  The gold is nice but I really like the Beast Mode Camper.

I wouldn't be surprised if you are contacted by a vid production co. either.

Hold out for Spielberg.

There is already a big time movie producer (Retired I think) reading this.

Affix the strap firmly to the rod first, using the provided slot to “lasso” the rod.

That makes a lot more sense than what I was doing. 

I wish I lived by water.  LOL  

I am going to miss Whiskey Jack.
