I've done the whitewater dredging thing, and I too have no desire to repeat it as no matter which type of mask you wear, seeing is not a viable option, nor is keeping the mask either on your face (or free from water) an alternative if you move your head the least bit wrong. As well, there's the constant plucking of untold legions of endless, icy water-powered fingers on everything . . . As for rappelling into crazy spots, done enough of that as well, fun, but in an emergency if you have to get out of spot like that, just as crazy. If I was in my early 20's and still full of vinegar and other natural stimulants and hormones, probably, as that's why I've tried some of the extreme things I have after all. But, the mileage on the frame is way too much, so someone will apply, and they'll have a grand adventure that I truly hope remains a safe adventure throughout. All the best, Lanny

Fred, I really enjoyed the pictures. It brought back some memories from time I spent in the desert. I've also enjoyed all of the humor and good-natured ribbing it spawned. All the best, Lanny

Announcing The New Makro Racer 2!
Lanny replied to Nokta Detectors's topic in Nokta / Makro Metal Detectors
You've written some very apt responses to this thread Steve, thanks! From your no-nonsense approach to analyzing how detectors work and from your arms-length assessment of their capabilities, I've learned more from your evaluations of various detectors than any other material I've read anywhere else. Nicely done and thanks for the hours of extra time you dedicate to doing your write-ups and your research. All the best, Lanny -
Fun finds! All the best, Lanny

It looks like you're wetting your rock samples. If it's gold, you won't need to wet the sample, you'll know right away. Plus, the suggestion to use a metal detector might save you a lot of time as well. I hope you figure it all out . . . All the best, Lanny

Gold Bug 2 And Makro Gold Racer And Whites Gm Series
Lanny replied to Caligoldhog's topic in Nokta / Makro Metal Detectors
I enjoy it when someone does a write-up on their experiences. I always find a few things from a different perspective that I can use. Thanks, and all the best, Lanny -
Congratulations, and nicely done on some classic historical finds! All the best, Lanny

Whatever it is, after you crush it, if it's gold, congratulations. If it's not, congratulations as well because with either result you'll learn, and that's what chasing the gold is all about, learning what to keep doing and what to quit doing. All the best, Lanny

I sure enjoyed your story, and the picture of the finds too! All the best, Lanny

Like New White's Bigfoot Coil Only $525!
Lanny replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
It really is hard to understand why no manufacturers will bite on this concept as it sounds like a proven design that works very well indeed. All the best, and thanks for the info., Lanny -

ICMJ Mining Summit - Lecture Speakers & Schedule
Lanny replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Steve, not only would I love to be there for your presentation on detecting for gold, I'd love to take in the others as well. Sadly, I'm already committed to another conference at the same time or wild horses and cranky mining mules couldn't keep me away. All the best, and thanks for the info. as I may be lucky enough to make it another year, Lanny -
Announcing The New Makro Racer 2!
Lanny replied to Nokta Detectors's topic in Nokta / Makro Metal Detectors
This new Makro Racer 2 looks very interesting and intriguing! It's wonderfully refreshing to see a company that actually requests and then follows through to design the changes their users see as necessary! Why do so few other companies just not get this? For instance, what's stopping Minelab from making a significantly lighter premier gold detecting machine (not talking about their VLF's of course), and what's stopping them from including some top-shelf iron discrimination and target ID as well? Is it the technology that won't allow it or do they think people prefer heavier machines? I admit I don't know everything about it by a long shot, that's why I'm asking. All the best, Lanny -

Lanny replied to vanursepaul's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
Good luck at Rye Patch. That sure is some unique and beautiful gold that comes out of there. All the best, Lanny -
As for your contest, what a nice thing to do Ray! I'm glad your buddy made it through with a clean bill of health. Who knows, one of these days I may just show up at one of your outings, and thanks for your open invitation. You've always been a very helpful person, open, and generous. All the best, Lanny
