My first pulse unit was a ML 3000, I had carried the unit to Az from Ak without opening the box. I was camped at Decision corners not to far from the old cemetery.  Remembering events sometimes taxes you lol, but this was the year that Jonathan Porter came to the US and he was camped not too far away with his group. That evening I charged the big battery and laid everything out for assembly in the morning...After some food and detector assembly my friend and I drove over past the GPAA campground looking for a spot to try out our units. We parked near a metal building and I walked up the hillside towards a flat bench area I had spotted from the road...I made exactly two swings with my detector and I heard this signal sound I will never forget.. Weeee.  Oooop lol that's gold  for sure, and how could I be so lucky..

   But Paul! You still are.

 I enjoy success stories and would like to see more here. I would post some but everyone would think they were tall tales. And they would be correct.

Very nice.  I like hearing stories like that.  Sad thing is, you wouldn't likely even be able to get back to that cemetery now, with all the gates and stuff.

I wish we could roll the clock back and have a do over George. I don’t think any of us realized how quickly the gold fields would play out. Compared to what was possible over twenty years ago we are now just chasing crumbs.

JP must not have been impressed with the U.S. goldfields. I have lobbied him trying to get him to come back, but all he does is offer excuses about not wanting to run into bears and such!

Steve; Please relay to JP that I will personally stand watch as bear guard if he would like to come to the U.S. However when it comes to Sasquatch there are no guarantees.

This is for Klunker. There is nothing to worry about here in the Sierra.
