Gold Seeker

I'm sure they knew they had a tourist and jumped at the chance to make a big profit !! Even though the rental location was a "Premium Station" I'm sure the vehicle wasn't a premium vehicle since as we all know most if not all rentals aren't premium vehicles, so he should have gotten a discount!!

Tungsten is more than twice as hard as anything in the platinum group, platinum is around 4 Moh and tungten is around 9.5

I agree I have a couple of 100' and 50' tape measures that have a folding handles just like what you have found. Love the Red Cross pin!

Not really mining but about a huge gold nugget, a comedy from Australia. The Nugget. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0278597/

Back on the OP subject of nickels, there's a good reason that most don't find what he would term "old" nickels, Shield nickels were only minted for 17 years (1866-1883), Liberty nickels were minted for 30 years (1883-1913), Buffalo nickels were minted for 25 years (1913-1938), on the other hand Jefferson nickels have been minted for 80 years and still counting (1938-present), more than the other 3 mintings combined, and of course it's easier to find a more or less recently lost nickel than any of the others that were most likely losted up to 80 or more years ago.

Most adapters don't work correctly but a few found one a Ace Hardware that worked, but others bought the only one they found at their local Ace Hardware store and it didn't work for them, so that source is sorta the luck of the draw, there's a fellow on another forum that has been making one that does work for his friends and a few fellow forum members that does seem to work for all who has gotten one from him.

GMS, Out of curiosity I checked out your website, IMHO you could of make it much easier for you to removed these bogus ads much sooner if you a "Contact" link on your website, I looked everywhere and couldn't find a contact link, so if you do indeed have one you should make it easier to find!!

While the Gold Monster is looking to be a GREAT detector, I don't think it has the depth to pick up any nuggets no matter how big they are from altitude when she flying over the gold fields!! But the way you have it setup I'm sure she will "cleanup" if you can get her a land it for a bit.

A great loss to the mining community, RIP Jerry.

Here's the "about" translation of this video from an online translator..... "Treasure Finder finds gold with the Gold Monster 1000, in this episode we put this detector to the test in the golden pleasures of my friend Erick, that we receives with the open arms, share with all of you this beautiful historical place of Mexico that was the first capital of the Northern Territory today Baja California, accompanies Alex, Fidel, Erick and Armando , all Procaleros in this new adventure, where we test the Gold Monster 1000 Minelab.

OH CRAP, the cat's out of the bag now!!!

Thanks for the answer, I fully understand the price point issue and the need to make a profit, but I always have a wishful thought that we can bring the American build quality back to our shores, and hopefully it will return soon, I just know that the price of american made products will only get affordable by bringing all of our production back to the USA.

Are these shovels made in the USA?
