BEAUTIFUL Scenery!

Hey Chris, I sent you a PM here.

Chris, what size coil/coils come with the machine? I might be interested in purchasing.

Hey Adam; I want the machine. I will pay for shipping! Regards, Christopher Foote

Thanks for the link. After I posted the question I searched the forums and found a lot of good information about the subject.

Hi Guys; I am thinking about buying a good used GP Extreme for a lot of relic hunting (trash pits) and a little gold hunting. Can anyone tell me how difficult it would be for me to mod the machine with a green button? also, where could I find some schematics for the mod? Thanks in advance... Chris

I would make an educated guess that what you have are two matching bridle rosettes from a horse bridle. if there is no attachment points on the back then they were probably lead-filled when they were made. I would definitely hunt that old trail, and follow it until you ran out of permission. Regards; Boog

Thanks Guys. I printed out an article back in 2009 that talked about this, and I even used it that winter to find a heavy concentration of black sand in the inside bend of a drywash that had a good amount of fine gold in it...at least 15-20 colors to the pan when I panned out several samples. So I know that it is possible. I'm gonna be doing a little prospecting this weekend (The Lord willing, and the creek don't rise) and thought I might try out the technique here in Alabama...

I know that this topic has been discussed before, but I cant find it, so I would like to ask again. I know that there is a way to use the LST to find concentrations of black sand..the detector will hum over the top of a black sand concentration. Can anyone tell me how the detector should be set up for this to happen? Thanks so much! Boog

Thanks Mike for your help. I look forward to yours and everyone else's next find.

Well Mike, years ago In the backwoods of Mississippi, while detecting one of General Jacksons campsites from the war of 1812 I received a very strange signal on my vlf detector. I dug it up and it seemed to be a lump of iron. it seemed out of place because I had never found another piece like it before. Well, I have always wondered if it might be a meteorite. A couple weeks ago a salesman came to our shop and demonstrated a TMI, a little hand-held x-ray gun that is used to determine the type of metals that are commonly used to make parts in a machine shop. I asked the salesman to shoot my lump of iron with his gun and when he did, it said that the lump was mostly iron with a small percentage of Ti. I knew that many meteorites are identified as such because of their nickel content, but was unaware that there might be some with Ti in them. And I knew you guys were some of the best in the U.S. and thought I might pose the question. As far as I know there are no Titanium mines in Mississippi...what would you suggest I do to find out more about my little lump? I would appreciate your advice!!! Boog

have there been any discoveries of provable meteorites that contained titanium, but no nickel? Thanks; Boog

Great show last night Sarge! I like to fell off the couch when I recognized you. I look forward to the rest of the series. That sure is some beautiful country....

Looks like Flint to me...but I'm an idiot... ...so who knows?

That's a heck of an idea there!!! Thanks
