Tested & pure. Some prefer to bring in water from town. To each his own. Been drinking it many years & never ever sick. 

Yes I'm sure it is since it's coming from a pipe, I'm willing to bet it's coming from a underground spring.

My father and I would drive through the Blue Ridge Mountains and every so often you would see a pipe driven into the rock face cut for the road with the best water I have ever drank coming out of the pipes, we would drink our fill and drive on.

If the stream is way up in the mountains... then why not?

If the water is spring water and not to far from the source, then I would agree, but even with run off from a spring the further you get away from the source unless it's been piped in or if the stream is from rain or melting snow runoff the chances of getting sick from bacteria, viruses, or more likely Giardia is not worth the risk, I have no problem drinking from most any stream if I have a "filter straw" or "water filter bottle", I'm just not going to risk drinking unfiltered water unless it was a life saving/survival type situation, or as I mentioned it's coming from underground spring and only very close to the source. 

I'm assuming in 1936 they got their drinking water (when they drank water) from the stream, but in 2002 where did ya'll get your drinking water from, surely not from the stream??

Possibly the tip off a early wooden version of a digging bar, sorta like these, especially the non-conductive version with a fiberglass handle.

The guy in this video is detecting on a beach in Morocco, in the comment section he answers a person question as to if they would need a permit, he says no not on the beaches, you can go to the video on YouTube to read the comments.

So it seems that what Shelton says is accurate as far as beaches go, BUT I also read that it's not legal to metal detect in Morocco so I would suggest before going so you don't risk getting your detector confiscated and in trouble just bringing one into the country and also after getting there to check with local authorities to be sure if and or where you maybe able to metal detect.

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"!!!

Did you notice that you have a choice between green and blue? I'm looking at the website now.

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.

He makes his equipment colors black, green, blue and pink. In this post, I am using my California mini. I usually use my Geo highbanker, as it is larger and has three different capture processes to increase the capture rate. 

Thanks, I saw the California mini and thought that had to be the one you were using in this post.

I bought mine from Geo Sluice Mining. His prices are shown. You will pay much less then what I did, as I live in Canada.  

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

I'M ASKING IF SOMEONE KNOWS WHERE TO FIND GOLD IN ITALY.

I HAVE A MINELAB CTX3030.

IF YOU ANSWER, THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!!

 

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.

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.

Thanks for the reply Bob.  I may be misunderstanding what you mean in your third paragraph, but if you mean that I’m getting the gummies from a friend or off the black market, I’m not. I buy them at one of the many local CBD/hemp stores in my town.  They’re widely available and 100% legal. 

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.

Hi,

Does replying count as a post? Or does it need to be a new posting?

Thanks.

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.

Working on my end now!

Thanks to all for your input.  I’m a self proclaimed novice when it comes to arrowheads.  Not many are found on Florida’s east coast tourist beaches where I always hunt. 
My daughter now lives in the area where this one was found so I better educate myself on arrowhead ID!  😉

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

They're getting trickier !🤔

Links to a couple of sites we use on my forums to weed out the scammers.

(which is down to almost none now that we took your lead and deleted the zero posters.

THX for the idea ! )

We now require 1 post within a month and 10 posts before allowing links.  

All newbs have to be approved before posting access is granted.

(I think the 10 post minimum was the most effective part of our effort.) 

 

Also , The vast majority of our spammers have (had) an email ending in .ru  

I have a member that was traveling in Russia and I kept allowing them in , thinking he was recruiting new members........not anymore..I  purged their sorry butts.     I just had a thought that their internet  might be restricted right now too ?

 

The first is an IP lookup that gives several locations . I found that I developed a feel for this after seeing patterns and repeated providers over the first few months.

This one my IT girl found and uses. I used it only once but she said she liked it.

I never knew such a kit existed!  You learn something new every day!  Thank you, Gold Seeker!  Much appreciated.  

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.

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.
