  1. Very interesting post. Thanks for the thought-provoking information and for taking the time to organize it. All the best, Lanny
  2. Fun finds! Congratulations. All the best, Lanny
  3. 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
  4. Nice catch of gold in the pan, and the hole you dug, incredible! Congratulations on finding and retrieving some of Mother Nature's finest. All the best, Lanny
  5. Fun read! Gave me flashbacks to Nome. Lots of problems that crew had to slug their way through, but the gold sure is beautiful. Thanks for the link, and all the best, Lanny
  6. Wow! Great story and photos. Thanks for taking the time to write it up and to post the pictures. Nicely done, and all the best, Lanny
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. That's a great little video of an exciting night hunt with some great finds! Thanks for posting the link, and all the best, Lanny
  11. 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
  12. Congratulations, and nicely done on some classic historical finds! All the best, Lanny
  13. 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
  14. I sure enjoyed your story, and the picture of the finds too! All the best, Lanny
  15. Great finds! Nicely done, and all the best, Lanny
  16. Exceptionally beautiful and extremely unique gold! Congratulations on your finds. All the best, Lanny
  17. Nicely done!It must have required some serious patience and dedication to track those two down. All the best, and thanks for posting the picture, Lanny
  18. 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
  19. That really is great looking work! Shoot an update when you try it out. I'd love to know how it does. All the best, Lanny
  20. That's a great story of some nice nugget finds. There's nothing like a patch to get the heart pumpin'! Nicely done, and thanks for the details of the hunt! All the best, Lanny
  21. 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
  22. 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
  23. Good luck at Rye Patch. That sure is some unique and beautiful gold that comes out of there. All the best, Lanny
  24. 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
