I guess you don't metal detect Doc.
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

(703) 367-7999

www.centrevilleelectronics.netI would still call the factory first, just to be safe!Best wishes to all!snakejim-

I just received this email!
American-Made White's Metal Detectors View this email in your browser Important Information from White's Electronics
June 18, 2020
To our valued White's Dealers-
This is a very difficult message to write, but the time has come for retirement from White's Electronics.
We are suspending manufacturing operations at our Sweet Home facility while we re-evaluate the future of the company. It is never easy to make these decisions, however, we are faced with the reality of intense competition in the industry and ongoing counterfeit instruments coming from China. Lastly, there have been critical material shortages since the Covid 19 shutdown that we now find insurmountable.
All of us here in Sweet Home are grateful for your service. We consider each you part of the White's extended family.
Sincerely,
Ken White
American Made Metal Detectors since 1950

Keith has been around for years. Check him out if you have an older detector that needs work or you need an extra coil.

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.

Can I get pros and cons on this MD, please?
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.

Always wondered about that.
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.

So for me the problem with the small miners waiver on claims bigger than 20 acres, is either each person needs to sign the claim, or a power of attorney for the person needs to be on file with the BLM. As long as whoever you share the claim with will give you a Power of Attorney for it or you can hunt seven other people down, this year and all years to come, you'll be OK. I remember seeing in the BLM records on line about the power of attorney being on file.
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!

Im looking to locate a few more claims and was curious to know if I filed a 40ac placer claim if it would count as one or two claims towards my 10 claim small miner waiver? Not sure if the limit is based on acreage or actual number of claims? Example 40ac counting as two 20ac placer claims? Just trying to do this smartly and get the most acreage possible with my 10 claim limit.
Thanks
DP
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.

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

The girl and I had a GPAA membership from 10+ years ago that we never used once, except the day we purchased it at one of those gold shows. I bought it for her after she caught the gold "sniffles" (cause it definitely wasn't the bug) while being taught to pan by Woody Wampler at the show. I wound up buying her a membership, pinpointer and detector, which is all still sitting in the closet.
Now, I want to go out nugget hunting/prospecting/exploring and want to know which club to join, other than the GPAA.
The Roadrunner Prospector's club had several good claims years ago. I would imagine that they still do.

Looking for a partner that would like to look for Meteorites near Roswell, New Mexico.
There have been a lot of them found near Portales by a mailman., Skip Wilson.

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.

Best wishes to you and all the forums members.

P.S. We found some nice nuggets thereabouts.
