Gold Seeker

I had no problem with the link working....but for anyone having issues with it here's a link to the story in a news article from 2017. https://www.laweekly.com/the-incredible-story-of-californias-first-gold-strike-takes-place-just-minutes-from-downtown-l-a/

I'm guessing mudstone/shale, but the "yellow" are plant fossils. The plant fell onto a prior layer of mud and then another layer of mud was deposited over the plant, then over 1000's and 1000's of years the mud turned into stone.

It's possible the nugget came from the pirate loot...or just as possible it came from someone who lost it after finding it in surrounding states which many of have gold nuggets from either natural gold deposits or gold brought down by glaciers from Canada. That being said, they should be able to test the gold and compare it to gold from Africa and or Canada, supposedly gold can be traced to it's original source by it's contents, much like the lead cross was tested from "the Curse of Oak Island" to determine where the source of the lead was from.

Mid 1960s Ford Galaxie, I know for sure it was on a 1966 Ford Galaxie with the 352 engine, but not sure if it was on any other year models that had the 352 engine, and for sure not on any that didn't have the 352, i.e. the 289, the 390, or the 427. It's a bit hard to see in these photos of 1966 Ford Galaxies, but the emblem is on the fender behind the front tire.

I checked the forum this morning, read all the posts since last night and just before walking out the door to go to work I checked the forum again and it had started, all within 20 minutes or less, 30 or so SPAM posts, I unfortunately didn't have time to report any as I was a bit late leaving for work.

Why is the Axiom excluded from the choices?

This isn't a link to the video but it's about the video and explains some of it in writing, maybe you can contact @Doc or he may see this post and he maybe able to help you with a source for the video. https://docsdetecting.com/getting-the-most-out-of-your-gp-extreme-by-jack-lange/

I think I know the movie you're thinking of... "I Robot" starring Will Smith? Here's a photo of the robot with Will Smith and his co-star..

Funny video..but he forgot to show the beer can they were fighting over!!LOL

Not knowing the size of the flange thing or the material...but it reminds me of the flange of a ball catch, usually used on the top of a door.

The 30% discount actually says... "Save even more this Black Friday with a 30% OFF coupon & free shipping within Contiguous United States " So it maybe 30% off for any place in the world but only free shipping in the USA, you may want to send them an email to confirm if the 30% applies worldwide.

Makes you wonder if Lady Joan Brooks, caught Mr. Thomas Brooks with the chamber maid or some floozy and tossed the ring in a fit of rage!!

I found the same timeline as well for that Logo, here's a website that shows many of the old flashlights, the Ever-Ready ones are from about midway to the bottom of the page. http://www.wordcraft.net/flashlight.html

Any where the old people go to retire there has to be an army of the younger generation to run everyday businesses to support the retired communities, someone also has to build the homes these older people are buying, retire people don't work, so the younger people have to do that, there are more younger people in Florida than older people! There's also a lot, and I mean a lot of agriculture and cattle farms in Florida, the older people don't run those businesses either.

Congratulations but we need photos!!

No dealers has the Axiom for sale, it hasn't been released by Garrett for sale yet!! The best you can do is get on a "waiting list"

Well done! One reason some seem to find more Mercury dimes than "silver" Roosevelt dimes is Mercury dimes were minted more than 10 years longer (29 years) than the "silver" Roosevelt dimes (18 years), so there's probably at least 1/3 more Mercury dimes put in circulation.

Cool you made a scarecrow that looks like Bob!!!

Have you read the report "Gold Placers Of California" California State Mining Bureau Bulletin 92, 1923 by Charles Scott Haley? https://archive.org/details/goldplacersofcal00halerich/mode/2up?ref=ol&view=theater If it's not the report you have referenced, it may have more info on your area.
