Happy belated Birthday, Don!

Bates has tactical boots on Amazon.

LOL Doc is a master and very successful Detectorist. He's been a Minelab Dealer for years.

Doc, you seem to come up with great ideas all the time. This one is superb.

Since White's factory is shutting down, I spoke to Todd at the factory today, since I have a GMT there for repairs. They will still do repairs for the next 2 weeks; then, if you have a detector that needs repairs you will have to send it to: White’s East Service Center Centreville Electronics 9437 Main Street Manassas, VA 20110 (888) 645-0202 (703) 367-7999 Fax: (703) 367-0868 bobnpaul@centrevilleelectronics.net www.centrevilleelectronics.net I would still call the factory first, just to be safe! Best wishes to all! snakejim

White's GM3 Goldmaster for sale $300 shipped lower 48 states. Works as it should.

Happy Birthday Frank!

Neat area! I was there years ago. Have friends in Lander. I did find some nice gold. Nothing large, but I didn't throw it back. Larger coils will go deeper, but they lose sensitivity to the smallest pieces. Smaller coil finds the smaller bits, but don't go as deep.

I have a claim with a small creek on it and I am going to use it as a "Historical Mining Classroom". I will be teaching anyone who has an interest in mining, the old timer's ways. I need to build a Rocker exactly like one of these in these photos.

Dude, I think you are wrong. Maybe you should go do some research? Someone lied to you.
-
Pro: It's an excellent detector for ease of use and good sensitivity. Perfect for covering a lot of ground such as relic hunting, meteorites, coins, nugget hunting, etc. Con: The larger 11" coil won't be very sensitive for the tiny pieces of gold.

Small miner waiver. Placer Claim question?
snakejim replied to Desertpilot's topic in MINER'S RIGHTS and LAND USE
It's not so bad if there is a surviving spouse or other heir to the estate. A friend of mine had one of his partners die and can't find an heir. I assume he can pay the maintenance fee this year in lieu of doing the maintenance fee waiver? There is a process where you have to place an ad in the local newspaper and run it for a certain period of time, asking for someone to claim the estate. If "No show", then more "BS" follows. -
Small miner waiver. Placer Claim question?
snakejim replied to Desertpilot's topic in MINER'S RIGHTS and LAND USE
I have hunted them down each year to sign the waiver, and it's a bit of a pain. If one of them dies, it's a nightmare! -
Small miner waiver. Placer Claim question?
snakejim replied to Desertpilot's topic in MINER'S RIGHTS and LAND USE
You can't claim 40 acres yourself. You can only file a claim for 20. You can get 40 if you have a partner to claim the other 20. You can have up to 7 partners + yourself=8 x 20 acres=160 as one claim called an association placer claim. Sorry, but you have to take partners to get larger than a 20 acre claim. -
Here is a "Fisher" ad on page 33 in the 1990 Silver & Gold issue of Western & Eastern Treasure Magazine

This story is of a friend of mine, "Bob Ellithorpe" an equipment operator in Colorado. The rock is on display in the Denver Museum of Natural History and I have personally seen it on display http://pagosasprings.com/the-summitville-141-oz-gold-boulder/

The Roadrunner Prospector's club had several good claims years ago. I would imagine that they still do. https://www.roadrunnergold.com/ https://www.roadrunnergold.com/membership-information/

New to forum New to prospecting
snakejim replied to Adrian's topic in NEW MEMBERS (stop in here first)
Probably a hog nosed snake. They have a turned up nose that they use as a shovel to dig spade foot toads out of the dirt. -
Rattlesnake Jim or snakejim here. Been a few years since I was on this forum. Just signed up yesterday! It's neat to see the folks that I knew long ago are still around. Best wishes to you folks!

Welcome, Julian!

Jim, I found this magazine article a few minutes ago. I remember meeting you in the Dale District about 1988. Here's a link to a pdf file of Desert Magazine 1976. There is an article starting on page 28 that I think you would enjoy reading. Sure brings out some good memories. http://mydesertmagazine.com/files/197602-DesertMagazine-1976-February.pdf Best wishes to you and all the forums members. Rattlesnake Jim New Mexico P.S. We found some nice nuggets thereabouts.
