Gold Seeker

Ian, If there's any moss or fine root masses in and around your steams, they are great fine gold traps, so check them out if you haven't already!! There's a reason they call the fine gold catching material in a sluice box "miner's moss"!!!

No I didn't notice that, just was looking at the main page that had all the high bankers, I never clicked on any items or options nor read anything other than prices, names etc. Thanks, I saw the California mini and thought that had to be the one you were using in this post.

Yours is blue, all the ones I saw on Geo Sluice Mining are green, are they the same, which model is yours?

I did a search on this for you, maybe the results will help you. https://www.bing.com/search?q=GOLD+panning+IN+ITALY.&qs=n&form=QBRE&sp=-1&lq=0&pq=gold+panning+in+italy.&sc=1-22&sk=&cvid=2EA526FEE0A64BD29C4656680B5B368C&ghsh=0&ghacc=0&ghpl= I found that this site had the latest info and covered most if not all of the locations that have gold in Italy. https://howtofindgoldnuggets.com/italian-high-country-finding-gold/

I think that quarter was simply exposed to some other different condition/elements than all the other quarters you've found and thus the different color/corrosion your seeing, but if t floats your boat then it's whatever you think it is.

It appears to be the very rare and hard to find invisirock.

If you notice that under your user name it shows 1 post now that you replied in this topic, so yes your reply counts as a post.

When he asked where you found it, he was asking the general location of where you found it, next to a big rock doesn't give anyone any info to help ID your rock, the general location will help because someone can check what types of rocks are in that location which will help narrow down the possibilities of what it could be.

The way I read/understood Bob's reply, was that he couldn't speak to the gummies enabling you to hear/find the wheaties and that maybe someone has worked/detected the area since you were last there and cleared out some trash or other targets out of the area enabling you to hear the wheaties and find them.

Working on my end now!

I would suggest contacting the "Projectile Point" website and send them several photos from every direction/angles along with some measurements and info where you found it and they may be able to tell you what you have, they most likely will add it to their website as well.

Here's a link to a "listing" of arrowheads/projectile points from Tennessee. http://projectilepoints.net/Search/ASearch_Tennessee.html Also a link to their main page, links to the right can help with terminology, time periods, etc. lots of info if you're into researching this topic. http://projectilepoints.net/ Just keep in mind that arrowheads have been around for 1000s of years so any point could be 100's years old to 1000's of years old.

You're correct on the cartage head stamp for manufacturer and date, for the caliber you need to measure the diameter to be certain...but it looks like around 9mm or also referred too as .380 ACP or it also could be a .32 ACP

Actually I didn't really know it was a ear wax removal tool , I just thought to myself when I saw it that it should work well for removing ear wax with it being as small as it is and having the grooves on the end and then did a search and found that kit with that tool in it, sometimes one gets it right with a lucky guess!!!

Ear Wax removal tool, usually part of a set. https://www.miniinthebox.com/en/p/leather-suit-ear-pick-set-ear-pick-portable-ear-pick-ear-picker-earwax-adult-ear-pick_p9438142.html?currency=USD&litb_from=bing_shopping&sku=2_123827&country_code=us&utm_source=bingshopping&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=bingshopping&msclkid=01fd42746bb41d1f860c26506d26be55

RIP Monte

Awesome, really like the leaves, post a photo of the letters on the back!

Not a book but a great resource by a GREAT man Dr. A.K. Williams Ph.D, R.I.P., here's his website "Basement Chemistry For The Prospector" that he created for all of us to use for free, now kept online by his son since his passing. https://koldun.tripod.com/bcftp/bcftp.htm Be careful and following all safety precautions!!

That awesome, that quarter even though it has some wear is a key date and worth more than a few bucks!!

If you had bought that coil it would cost around $230 to $250, so now you know the new value to help in looking for a trade.

I could be wrong but I believe that @phrunt posted at the least the cutoff date of the faulty ones.

Take that broken Snap-On opened end wrench to a Snap-On dealer and they may give you new one, I think they have a lifetime warranty on most hand tools!! LOL

Happy Birthday!

If you look at the photo again you'll see the outer ring in not raised but instead is down from the inner raised portion, you can tell by the shadow of the "X" portion on top of the coil.
