Dirty Paws Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Hello everyone, hope you all are finding great gold and making even better memories! Adam (Dirty Paws) here from Northern California. I am fairly new to prospecting. I have been prospecting for about 3 years now, mainly panning, sluicing, and highbanking. In April 2021 purchased my first metal detector (Gold Monster 1000). Love the detector. Nov 7th 2021 I purchased a Minelab Sdc 2300 from Gerry from Gerry's Detectors and took his 3 day class at the Rye Patch with my girlfriend (Nicoles Gold). The class was great. Gerry and all of his staff were amazing. The amount of knowledge between them is infinite. since then my girlfriend and I have been trying to figure out new areas to detect and other individuals to do some detecting with. always wanting to gain more knowledge, experience, and respect for prospecting. Happy adventures to all! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Adam, Welcome to the forum and glad to see another person that enjoys this type of hobby. The people here can answer nearly every question that you may have and I can see that you have already met Gerry. I hope to be able to read about some of your adventures and seeing some of the pictures of your finds. Happy hunting and good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB_Amateur Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Welcome, Adam! You're off on the right foot with very good IB and PI detectors. Add to those, you took a great class with some of the best instructors anywhere. I look forward over the next year (I know; cold out there now) to you showing what you've learned. ?

GB_Amateur Thank you for the kind welcoming. loving the detectors. yes getting cold here and ground is freezing but hope to do a few winter road trips to AZ, if I can find good places to detect without accidently claim jumping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
