Bat Mobile Toy Car From 1969
Gold Seeker replied to Kaolin washer's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
It's not called "Double Image", it's called "Double Vision", the name is right on the bottom of the car in the photo posted by Kaolin washer. -
If you sell it on eBay most likely, or sell it on Craig's List, also might get more than scrap from a pawn shop. The gold value of that ring is $60+ at today's gold price, and then whatever you could get for the diamonds if anything. https://dendritics.com/metal-calc/?RefreshEnable=on&Metal=Au&WeightU=1.856&cb=12964965001&Units=g&P=583&Purity=583

Gold Price Expected To Rise Significantly Soon
Gold Seeker replied to Aureous's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
It will be a long time before that gold, if the surveys are accurate, enters the market. Gold on surveys and gold in the hand are very different, it takes a long time to mine gold and they aren't even started yet, and once they do start 31 million metric tons will come out of the ground very SLOWLY! Once they start what they mine in a week or month will be a lot to one person, or even 10 to 100 people, but for the market it will not be a huge amount. They will be lucky to mine 2 to 3 metric tons in a year's time, if that, once they are up and getting the gold, and it could take a year are two to get too the gold and up to speed. -
Magnetrap?
Gold Seeker replied to phrunt's topic in Gold Panning, Sluicing, Dredging, Drywashing, Etc
That's made by the same guy who makes the Magic Bit video I posted. That works really well but it would take a long time to do a lot of blacksands that "might" have a little bit of gold, if the blacksands are holding a lot of gold it would be great tool to have. -

Magnetrap?
Gold Seeker replied to phrunt's topic in Gold Panning, Sluicing, Dredging, Drywashing, Etc
I was doing a little more searching to see if the sluice magnet i posted above is still being sold anywhere and it seems it's not....but I found this little device for separating blacksands from gold after the panning stage instead of the plunger type magnets which tends to pickup gold along with the blacksands. It seems to work rather well at leaving the gold behind https://youtu.be/fiN9EaX6Cno -
Magnetrap?
Gold Seeker replied to phrunt's topic in Gold Panning, Sluicing, Dredging, Drywashing, Etc
I haven't seen this product before but years ago there was a magnet device being sold that was suspended across your sluice box and hung down into the top of the water flow and would lift the blacksands up to it allowing the gold to stay down at the bottom of the flow. It was basically super magnets inside a PVC tube with attachments on the sides to attach it with, you could easily make a similar one for your sluice. I don't think it's still being sold but here's a link to one that says "Sold Out" https://www.goldfeverprospecting.com/sluicemagnet.html I also found a video of it in action. https://youtu.be/dyDBxgEJfv4 -
It's playing now on the FX channel, it will be on again in the morning at 2:00 AM eastern standard time.

My Island Is Under Attack!
Gold Seeker replied to Erik Oostra's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
I heard the man says in a interview that the reason he got into it with the kangaroo was because the kangaroo was attacking/going after his dogs and he was defending them! -
Those .35 Remington cartiriges can also be used in this.... I own one of these, this one is not mine, mine is in storage and needs some TLC but still functions quite well, it's a Remington Model 14 Pump Carbine, it came in a full size rifle as well, yes that's right it's a pump action rifle, Remington also later made the Model 114 .35 Pump Rifle, here's a photo of one.

I don't think it's any part of an official die, it could be from a counterfeit die but if so wasn't very well done since it seems it's off centered to my eye. I'm not sure if everyone knows but a coin die is a "rod", (not just a thin piece of metal like this one, the rod is for strength when the coin get stamped so the image doesn't get distorted), with the reverse impression of the coin engraved into the end of the rod and there's a die for each side, so if this was ever a die it was indeed cut off the rod.
-
Did you use recycled scales or did you make those and do the engraving/Logo?

That was going to be my suggestion...XRF spectrometer

Still hard to say from a photo, but if it's a meteorite it would have to be a iron meteorite just looking at the "window" you filed which shows a solid metal, but it should be more highly attracted to your magnet than what you have described,
-
Need a photo of where you "filed" it?

Xp Orx Or Equinox 800
Gold Seeker replied to John4455321's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
I haven't used either of the detectors you're asking about....BUT if you do swap keep in mind that there's a big price difference in the 2 detectors, Equinox 800 around $1000, the Xp Orx around $650, just an FYI I compared the prices on KellyCo's website. So if I were doing such a swap I would want some money added in the deal along with the Xp Orx. -
In The News - UK Hoard Found

Looking at her photo she seems rather happy to finally find a penis! -
It's not gold and also not a meteorite the best I can tell from a photo.

Nisaku Njp650 Hori-hori Weeding & Digging Knife
Gold Seeker replied to Swegin's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
I have a trowel/digger similar to the Fiskars posted by rvpopeye, mine is made by Ames, they don't make the version I have any longer but they now have a similar version called Ames Planter's Pal which the blade looks as mentioned very much like the Fiskars and my older version Ames, I still like my older version better, I bought it at least 10 to 15 years ago at Home Depot and can't seem to wear it out, I've only resharpened it once, I even cut down a small tree (about 2" thick) with the serrated edge one time in my yard. Here's a eBay link to the Ames Planter's Pal, it seems to be around $15 and up everywhere else. https://www.ebay.com/itm/325083330796?hash=item4bb079f8ec:g:3V0AAOSwZ-1iIa4B -
Running The 15" Cc X Coil Over A 6000 Patch
Gold Seeker replied to jasong's topic in Minelab Metal Detectors
It's because of Covid and Russia invading Ukraine. -
I heard a rumor that the only reason Parker went to new Zealand was to try and find a phone that a girl he had a secret affair with thought she lost it while on a ski lift a couple of years ago, but he decided to search the entire island after failing to find the phone after searching all the ski lifts in the country, the rumor also stated the phone is reported to have pictures of Parker naked rolling in gold dust and he's trying to protect the people of New Zealand from going blind if they happen to find the phone and view the photos!!

Combined-pinpointer And Digger
Gold Seeker replied to geof_junk's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
I found this website that says they sell refurbished Cache Pro Elite pin pointers, not sure if it's still doing so or if it's legit, but there's the link. I clicked on the "Buy Now" link to see what would happen and it took me to a PayPal login page, so it may still be legit, they have a contact page and you could try and contact them first if you're interested, it's a email contact system. http://www.intexsystemscorp.com/refurbished pinpointers.html
