Filmalaska Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I just realized I hadn't made an introduction although I've been following the forums daily for a few months. I'm Morgan and I've been in Alaska since 1980. I get a lot of enjoyment out of detecting as well as the advancing technology. A lot of the work I do is in ultrasonics so the concepts of eddy current, frequencies and penetration are very familiar. I've got a few detectors (well, 5) and other equipment. I'm trying to extricate myself from Alaska. The winters are long, cold and dark and make for a very short prospecting season. So, I've got one foot in Arizona and one still in AK. The forum's are a great resource and there's a bunch of great people here. Happy to be a part of the worldwide community. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filmalaska Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 Thanks phrunt ?. I really enjoy the stories of NZ. I spent a few months there fishing and enjoying the Southland experience when I was a young dude. A bit like Alaska minus the dang bears ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dig It Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 HI Morgan, Grizz12 & myself are going to detect that beach I've been working on and off since last March, if you have time today grab a detector and come join us, I just know it's about ready to give up a ring or 2, the detector god knows I've been clearing enough trash & coins, next object to find in my little mind is a FREAKING RING !!!!! Meeting in Sunrise parking lot around 11am 3/19... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filmalaska Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 Hey Ken, I’m at the airport in Anch heading down to Reno for 2 weeks. I’ll give you a jangle when I get back. I’m sure you’re going to get that ring today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Welcome Morgan. I can’t think of a better place to have been born and raised, but after 55 years in Alaska both it and I changed. Those long dark winters are just not fun and they get a lot less fun after 50. So best wishes on making your own “escape” from somebody who is really happy he did!

BeachHunter Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 My wife and I moved to Oregon once upon a time. That lasted one winter and we were over it. So back to warm beautiful SoCal and never was so happy to see the congestion lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinmon Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Welcome and hello! ? I’m in SoCal and have recently ventured into AZ a couple times - definitely warmer than Alaska! I rather liked the bits I’ve seen so far - sounds like you’ve got two great backyards to prospect and detect in right now! -Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Arizona I do miss the coast but that’s the compromise one makes to own a patch of the sun. But it’s worth it and the desert is very alive, at least at night. I love it. And there’s plenty of BLM land to roam around. best, Morgan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizz12 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Hey Morgan, welcome from Soldotna. I look forward to meeting you and finding good stuff. Dig it and I got together the other day and had a great time. He found his first silver and I found my first .13, the NOX 800 rocks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
