jim straight Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Howdy Frank... Gosh... I plan on being there both days.... I may help plant the field for the Saturday morning AMDA hunt... and I will be in the Sunday event. After the hunts I will be wandering around the show. My official "base" will be at the Inland Empire Prospectors and Miners booth. Steve Micklas and I will be at Primm three nights, Fri-Sat-Sunday... We are "daylight' drivers... We hope to meet you and all others who will be at the show... I will also be at the "Westcoaster's Rendezvous" April 25-26-27 at Rancho Jurupa Campground in Riverside... The Westcoasters are very active and have been putting on their Rendevzous since about 1988. Anyone who will be at Primm can get more information on this event...

jim straight Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Frank... The pleasure will be mine... It is you that are the go-getter and "doing." I will buy a cuppa coffee... Good fellowship is the goal. I have been going to "Seeded" hunts since 1974... I mostly do not break even... this is okay... It is in events like this that a dwindling group of us still are able to make the trip.... However, our ranks are thinning... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridge Runner Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Hi Jim I talk with you at GPAA gold show at Belton TX. and you said that you were getting a Whites PI prototype detector to test.Well did you get it and if so how is it testing going?

jim mcculloch Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Chuck, it seems that the guys who have the TDI prototypes are "hogging" them , so I haven't gotten to use them yet. But initial reports are pretty impressive; extreme sensitivity on very small nuggets (rare for PI's), remarkable depth on bigget nuggets, very smooth operation, light weight, and 1/3 the cost of the less sensitive and heavier competitor. Will let you know more when I personally hit a lot of "worked out" sites with it.

jim straight Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Howdy to all of you who were at Primm. I'm sure a good time was had by all. To follow up, my main effort was the AMDA hunt. So far the "skunk" is with me at a AMDA event... bu this I mean I have yet to find my first token for a "prize." So, I'm looking forward to eventually "beeping one." I'm like a" stopped" clock: dead right to the nano second twice a day. Now all I need to do is get my "ducks" in row... However, I mainly attend these events to keep in touch with fellow "seeded-hunt" participants. To get out and "swing" a detector and get to meet like-minded others. I guess they can become "addictive?" as I have been doing this since 1974. This year the AMDA event at Primm was just a couple of weeks from the West Coaster Rendevouis. The WC have always put on outstanding events... In April... their track record dates back to 1988 at Follows Camp. And thus, they have established a strong following of old timers and new ones. Follow's Camp in "gone." As is Parris Lake Campground. The WC has held this event over the last few years at Rancho Jurupa Regional Park (Crestmore Rd off Mission Blvd in Riverside CA.) The primitive area is the huntsite. I have pre-registered and will be there on both Saturday and Sunday. Time is getting short... it will be on Fri through Sunday... April 25-27. (One of the hunts I have entered is for those plus 75 years. Wow, maybe I will make it to a plus 80 group. There are several plus "80's" out there and they are tough to keep up with. "Speed" is not important, just to get out and "beep" and pick up a target is the "game." I believe Pondmn (Jerry P.) and others who post on this forum will be there. I hope either Jerry or someone else sees this post and adds more to it. It has always been an outstanding event for now about 20 years, so the West Coaster's have been doing things "right."
