hardtimehermit 482 Posted June 15, 2018 Well i joined awhile back but just getting around to introduction. I got hooked at gold hill back in 2013 when i found my first .5 nugget. We had just been trained by a guy named Mel who lived in Congress. He was with Arizona outback i think. I was living Flagstaff before moving to Reno and spent lots of time hunting for anything my gpx could find. I have found coins, jewelry and meteorites plus all kinds of historic trash. I also got into panning and sniping this year, but not much luck yet. Also just added the monster to my tool box and have been finding all kinds of tiny targets, but no gold yet, love that gold monster. I look forward to learning more and more from you guys, thanks for having me here! 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Furness 1,501 Posted June 18, 2018 Hardtimehermit ... First welcome to the forum. By way of a correction for you ... That wasn't the company you mentioned. It was Arizona Gold Adventures run by a forum member Terry Soloman. Mel was one of his instructors. As for the GM1000 there is a lot of really good information on this board ... especially the videos by Bill Southern the owner of this forum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the telling me about Bill's videos. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
