All I have to say is WOW. They need Gerry's 3 day training.

I had a local outfit ( Sugarhouse tent and awning )sew together a vinyl bag for my 5000 and 7000. I had them use the Minelab 5000 bag as a model but gave larger dimensions for both, they are rain proof and have a inside liner that softens any banging when handling. Large easy to use zipper that I chose . I can fit every coil option with out collapsing the detector including the 19 inch on the 7. I didn't think of hiding the fact that they would be very easy to be spotted and perhaps robed, just looking for my convenience and taking care of my valuable detectors. They cost "just" 200 appease. I am a little concerned that they look like a detector bag, too bad we have to be worried about that.

deathray, long time since you posted, don't be a stranger.

The dollar is in danger of loosing it's dominance in world financing of oil and other financing that really helps our economy retain the number 1 economy in the world. China Yuan may end up taking the place of the US dollar, which is what they are aiming for. China and Russia have been stockpiling gold for some years to ward off the possibility of US and world placing sanctions on their countries. There are things that the US can do to ward off this from happening.

Going to tent camp a lot this year, and who knows how long fuel price will remain this high, as long as fuel prices like they are I will leave my 38 ft. toy hauler behind. Good luck Reese.

maxxkatt, I have watched some youtube vids on folks finding bullets and other civil war objects in rivers, you may try checking some of them as they give advice on some of them. Good luck.

Sorry Nuggethunter70, never heard of them.

Nice going Reese, continued good luck, please keep up with your reports PS. I have a toy hauler but still tent camp a lot.

Not traveling from Utah a lot this year due to fuel prices but will hit the Bradshaw's once. Thanks for taking care of folks BMc, that's what a lot of the folks on this site do.

Bucksnboulders, I don't think you did. Clay is just stating the way things are, not necessarily how he feels about the ways things are, although he may. He has just the right to have his opinion and I will not slam him or anyone else for that. That is usually how the forum works.

Glen, some beautiful gold, thanks for sharing. Good luck this prospecting season.

Thanks Clay, I would love to be able to figure out how to use the site you set up, some kind of mental block I guess. I normally can figure out these things but so far not this. Regardless, I still believe claims should be marked, it's not that tuff. I belong to a club located in AZ that marks their claims very well, to me, every one can do the same. I/we spend time to find all of the claim markers on our claims before detecting. Some folks, if not many, do not have the resources or not the up-to-date knowledge of using modern tec. to check on-line or to go to regional BLM to check on current claims.

Time to start saving nickels, I have a lot of them in my " piggy bank ".

strick, your lucky to have a wife that likes metal detecting, she understands your passion.

Goldseeker, never have tried detecting around Meadview or even thought of it, thanks for the wake-up.

You and me both my friend.

Yea, even the grains.

According to ICMJ, gold has just broke the 2K threshold, $2057. I'm sure it will be up and down for a while.

Did you say something?

YES, it is a meteorite!

I agree with you PhaseTech, I have watched many youtube videos of some folks did not know what they are doing.

Hard to say if there will be one this year. I met the folks last year that have organized it for years, all said that this is their last time. Sounds like someone else will have to step up if there will be one.

Reese, thanks for the insight and offer, I had some success at GB years ago but nothing the last 2 times ( 2 weeks altogether ). I may give it another go some time as I really like the area and the town of Meadview, plus I would like to try the 6000 there.

Lanny, I'm sure your talking about stream fishing, I agree completely, I've noticed the same thing.

Klunker, I'm sure they don't make large enough cameras to take pictures of your nugget!
