Gold Seeker

I'm also a large flat bottom panner, so this kit is right up my alley, but price will be the deciding factor as to if I will own one of these kits or not, as I don't really need it, I use mainly green pans but I do have a few blue pans so this kit will even up my pan collect a bit and as mentioned one can't have to many pans!! I believe that it's both PI (Pan Induction) and VLF (Viscosity, Liquefy, Fluidity)

Such great finds for any gold miner/prospector, but unfortunately the owner of the mine Mike Corbley died around 5 months later on March 03 2014, may he rest in peace! http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/seattletimes/obituary.aspx?pid=170097700

Jason, This may not be what you're looking for, not sure if you've seen these portable rock crushers? http://www.crazycrusher.com/ One of these and a little water for panning and you can test on the spot.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.

Steve, You say that these coils are identical to those being shipped with the FORS Gold +, so I'm guessing that they can be use on either detector if you own both?

Only knowing Paul from the gold forums, i have formed a high opinion of him, him giving the MXT to the professor pushed my opinion over the top, Steve it's good thing you and Delek have done, you couldn't picked a more deserving person ! Congratulations Paul!

Congratulations on your first nuggets, now you'll never be the same, the fever will never let you go now!!

Steve spent a vast amount of time writing up his review of the Gold Racer, but it seems that he spent about twice as much time writing the review of the ML7007TM, I'm sure he'll be sleeping in this morning!!! Thank for the review Steve, now Matchbox will have to put on another shift to keep up with all the new orders coming in!!

Paul, Time to update your list of armaments!! Paul ML2300 Invincible 7005 Falcon MD 2020 Lots of shovels Pick by Leland Pick by Bunk Footprints 8000 by Barry and Leigh Scales by Merton ML7007TM

That's combined weight. over 1 ounce of gold.

Better safe than sorry, do what you need to do now to keep the gold you have.IMHO

Very Nice!! Does the gold look "gold" in person or silver like it does in the photos?

The tub for your gear and a truck inner tube for you.

This is from ResQLink website under F&Q.. "Q: Is there a subscription fee for beacon registration or rescue service?

Goldbrick, I feel it's worth mentioning that from the research I have done and from reading reviews the cost of the battery replacement is around $150, another fact that needs mentioning for someone who has a much older EPIRB is that the units that use 121.5MHz and 243MHZ are no longer satellite detectable and these persons should buy a newer model that uses the 406MHz .

Wow great buckle Ron, if I'm not mistaken there are only around 6 complete buckles like that known!

Norvic, is that one of the Wallabies up on top of the water tank, if so, monkeys indeed?

I think that someone with a GPZ700o should contact Minelab too see what they have to say about this and clarify, they do say that the CTX battery will work with the GPZ so that would lead most to believe that the AA holder for the CTX will work as well since Minelab has never said the AA holder shouldn't be use with the GPZ.

Congratulations DR, that nugget is a really nice one, anyone would be happy to find a nugget half as nice!!!

Happy Birthday Lucky, nice birthday gold you got on your birthday!!

You'll pay a good sum for one of the original "Desert Water Bag" flax water bags, you can find some on Ebay, I don't think they're being made any longer, at least I couldn't find anyone that still makes them, the original company that made them sold out to Coleman and it seems Coleman stop making them in the late 60s early 70s, but you can still find "Desert Storm" water bags made for our soldiers for Desert Storm that work exactly on the same principal, they're made from flax just like the old desert water bags, but are not the same shape and have string at the top/mouth to keep them closed instead of a cap/stopper, not ideal but if it works what the hey, desert water bags keeps water cool by evaporation just like a swamp cooler works, which is why most people keep them tied on the front of their vehicle, the air flowing over the bag while moving induced more evaporation and thus more cooling to the water inside, you need to soak the water bags for about 48 hours to totally saturate the flax material and then them fill with water, the outside of the bag will always be wet and as such the water will evaporate which causes a cooling affect to the contents. http://youtu.be/FQJPl4F7Wq0 Desert Storm bags, this is the cheapest source I found, but you can find them many places, especially army surplus stores, etc... http://www.armysurpluswarehouse.com/outdoor-camping-gear/canteens/desert-storm-bota-bag.html Other sources for the Desert Storm bags. http://www.bing.com/search?q=DESERT+STORM+WATER+BAG&form=MS8TDF&pc=MS8TDF&src=IE-SearchBox Actually I did find a source for the original style Desert water bags, but they're expensive.. http://www.can-spec.com/canspec/products/products.php?ID=14

Nice nugget AD, thanks for posting!

If you watch the video posted by Steve above, the introduction of the GoFind starts at the 36:45 mark and continues about to the end of the video, the Minelab Rep stated that they would be price from $179 (GoFind 20) to $309 (GoFind 60), and the possible release date was stated around mid-May/early summer. The price point is mentioned at around the 39:00 mark. The released date is mentioned at around the 51:45 mark.

I believe IDAuFinder is referring to the "InBoxNow" popup ad that is sometimes at the top right of the main forum page, it almost fooled me once but I realized it was an ad before I click on it.
