    More Rye Patch nuggets

    As Gus has already posted, I and my guys were out there for our annual Jim Williams Memorial Day hunt. And yes, the weather did not cooperate. Compared to the weekend before when it almost hit 100, this time we had rain, hail, lightning, thunder, wind, and everything but snow. We were chased...

    Chris Hake

    I just read on the Finders forum that our old friend Chris Hake passed away earlier this week. Cause unknown at this time, other than "natural causes", age 56. Many of us old timers remember Chris fondly from the "early days" of detecting in Oz when Minelabs were new and gold was plentiful...

    Whites PI - first nugget!

    Ok, for all you doubters out there, here is, I believe, the first nugget found with the new Whites PI detector. I can't say any more about where, but I found it just recently. Ground was hot and it was about 6 inches deep. Weighs 1.3 dwt. Still doing some testing to try to figure out the best...

    Gold prices

    All of you who have been sitting on your gold waiting for the right price might want to seriously consider selling out now. With the price pushing $900 an oz, there's bound to be a correction very soon. The price has gone up too far, too fast to stay here long. It may come back, but look to...

    Rye Patch results

    Hi guys. Well, the gang had our annual first Nevada trip of the year and it was a blast. Found some gold, crysals, and arrowheads, had lots of laughs, saw some cool critters, met some good people, and generally relaxed in the dust and sagebrush. If Mark Mitchell and Spencer read this, I want...

    Hey, Largo!

    Are you still out there lurking somewhere? I'm going to be some where familiar over the Memorial Day weekend and was wondering if you were too? Shoot me an email. Digger Bob

    Finally, a Meteorite!

    I found this last Oct. in N. Nevada. At first I thought it was a piece of iron slag because of the weight, rust, and being magnetic. It's just an ugly slug of iron to my eye. But I kept it anyway because I thought in the back of my mind that it just might be something else due to where I...

    Goldmaster V-Sat

    Goldmaster V-Sat for sale. Good condition, used but not abused. Works great, thoroughly checked out. Instruction manual included but no other extras. Standard 6x10 mono loop, new batteries and holder. Excellent machine for those tiny targets in bad ground, but not a coin hunter. $200 plus...

    Nevada nugget

    Let's see if this will spice things up a bit. Here's a shot of a little nugget a buddy of mine found this last summer up in N. Nevada. It was way up on the hillside above a well known patch. This is typical of this area, rough and crystally, not having traveled more than 50 ft. from the...

    A little help here please!

    Tragedy struck over the weekend. I don't know if this life can be saved but if anyone has a suggestion, I would welcome it. While digging out a big rock, the handle of my favorite pick broke! I mean it just shattered! I wasn't prying on the rock or anything destructive. The point hit the...

    GP 3000 settings?

    I had something odd happen this last weekend. Maybe someone out there can enlighten me as to what caused this. While testing a new machine in the field, we buried a large nugget (about 1/4 oz.) about 8 inches deep. Normally this is a no brainer as far as the signal strength from my 3000. But...

    GP 3000 with extras

    I recently took pity on a hunting buddy who was in desperate financial straights. He had to sell all his detecting gear in a hurry and I was the only one who could help him on short notice. As much as I would like to hang on to it until he recovers, it doesn

    4th of July nugget

    Again, it pays to keep your eyes open and try just about anything and anywhere. Those pesky little nuggets can be hiding where you would least expect them. Last weekend I went up to an area I had hunted many times before but had only found a few. I mainly went to get out in the mountains and...

    Going for the gold!

    This little blurb was in the Fox News "outthere" file today. Are any of us this crazy? Treasure Hunter Goes for the Gold, Ends Up in the Hole Wednesday, June 14, 2006 One might question his techniques, but there's something to be said about this gold-digger's determination ... even if that...
