klunker Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I would like to place an "item wanted" in the classified add section but it is requested that you have 10 posts within the last 30 days to use the classifieds. Well, there isn't much going on here in the Northern Sierras. The ground is mostly covered with snow, the Jeep is out back full of fallen leaves and ice and I haven't gotten Sourdough Scott into any trouble for a couple of months. So to make an interesting post I would have to cross that fuzzy grey line that squiggles between a good prospecting story and a blatant lie. So I'm going to try to sneak my "item wanted" add in here. Wanted; 1 plastic Groucho Marks. disguise. You know, The the one with the big bushy eyebrows, the oversized spectacles and huge nose with the push-broom mustache. Please contact Klunker. Thank you. This item is Detector Prospector related. We had a 1 million acre (yup, that's 1,000,000) fire burn through here last summer and it exposed unlimited shallow bedrock that would be perfect for detecting with a VLF detector so I bought one from a DP forum member (thanks John) but I don't want to get caught using a VLF detector for nugget hunting and loose my local status as Exalted Grand Wizard Poobah of Nugget Hunting by not using a PI detector. Thus the need for a disguise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klunker, You live in a part of California (don't we all) where you are supposed to have a mask on if you are outdoors (and indoors too)! Just be a good guy and wear it ALL the time so that cold wind blowing down here from the North will be filtered. Mitchel PS You can't wear the mask over a Grocho or a mustache/beard as it doesn't fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvpopeye Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I'm thinking the disguise is less for us not recognizing you but for the gold not recognizing you. It's obvious that the gold is the party that fears your attention....... and the detectors don't care,,,they are just all about getting you to "turn 'em on !

Steve Herschbach Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 My intent was misinterpreted, so I clarified it in the Classifieds rules. New members will have to have made at least ten posts over a minimum of a 30 day period on the forums before being allowed to post in the Classifieds. The change was from “members” to “new members”. Frankly, I thought that would be a given. I had to make the original ten post over 30 day rule because people would join, make ten posts in a day, and place an ad. The change made them work a month to do it, and did put a stop to it. The intent of the Classifieds is simple. Provide genuine active members with a free venue to advertise. That’s it. But the internet being what it is, I’ve had to add all the BS to head off scammers. Anyone that’s been a member for years is welcome to post ads, even if they have not posted anything else in ages. I realize the original post is in jest, but the actual issue has come up before, so I figured good time to fix it. Thanks Norm. And good luck getting the disguise. Me, I think I’d just need the little mustache, as I’m half way there already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, just draw Groucho or a mustache on the mask. Viola! Double disguise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
