I'm planning on being there the Monday or Tuesday before the outing and stay till the following Monday. It's been 15 years since I have been in Quartzsite but thinking I may be able to camp across the road south of the GPAA Claim. Can anyone confirm that for me? I'll keep an eye out incase Bill does a head count of how many people will be there.

Reese, I got my book today and leaving Georgia for Arizona 4am tomorrow morning. I'm so glad it got to me before I left. I was only able to flip through some of the pages while packing up and really like what I saw..... Nice smooth cover and pages with some excellent photos along with detailed explanations of the pictures. Autographed too 👍 I can't wait to start getting some reading done. Thank you! Aaron Bazor

Doc, email sent to you with my info.... Your generosity is greatly appreciated! I'll look forward to meeting you and introducing myself at the spring outing. Thanks again! Aaron

Nice looking rough yeller chunk for your birthday treat! Happy Birthday Mike and Boorx4....

"I have an SD/GP or GPX and I lay claim to Doc's new Nugget Stalker™ Model #SPX Cuff Cover." It looks very nice and comfortable. Hopefully I got it right, trying to copy and paste from my cell phone lol I'm interested in the scoop you are having made also. Thanks Doc! I've been busy with inputting GPS coords for my trip next month for the outing and staying 2-3 months.... I'll definitely give it a workout and provide feedback on it! Aaron

Nice, you got your rewards 👍

Nice 👍 Now that's a hand full of nice rough chunky yeller!

Nice finds Gary 👍 Always good to have the tools handy for digging down in the hard stuff!

Nic chunks there Gary 👍

Congratulations on being a speaker and making progress on your book 👍

Lanny, thanks for coming back and writing about your past experiences from when you got started detecting along with your frustrations and what you learned. I'm sure there's been a lot of water under the bridge since then. I've read all of your posts in this thread and many others which I appreciate, learn from and enjoyed! Your knowledge and writing skills are very informative and entertaining! Thanks again.... Aaron

I have a set of Cobra micro talk radios from Walmart that I use out here on the farm and get about half - to three quarter mile reception. But might not be good enough in the mountains. I just put a bright mini flashlight, ferro rod and loud whistle in my camelbak pack to keep with me. Of course will always be carrying my Garmin GPS with me for marking my vehicle and can backtrack my route if needed.

Thanks for the update Reese. I'll keep an eye out for any new info also. Happy New Year....

I know what you mean about the tiny little trash bits and birdshot. I have a 25 year old American Gold Striker VLF that still works great on the little stuff. I'll use it along with my GPX 5000 in the spring when I get back to the Arizona Gold country for a few months.

🎂 Happy Birthday, just a little bit late...
