TOYOTA
I'm a die hard American, have fought and bleed for the USA! When it comes to my hard earned money (MDING finds a side) I like to get the BEST for my money. Toyota all the way, I currently own two and have been driving them since 80'.I have to give them up when they get 300,000 mile its always sad. (Would have three but can't talk the better half out of her Saturn) Good choice!
Oh yea, looks like you had a good hunt! Quite a verity of detectors I see. A day out with friends always adds up to a good day had.

FYI,
I believe the Toyota Tundra is built in Kentucky. I've got a 1996 T-100. It's a great truck that just keeps plugging along. I use a Dodge truck at work. It's built in Mexico. Figure that one out.
I can't do any detecting out here in Northeastern Nevada. The ground is frozen & we just got a couple of inches of snow on top. I can't wait for Spring to get here. I have a Quattro, and I was finally learning how to use it in the last couple of months. Anyway, enjoy your new truck. If you do the basics, it should last you a long time. Congrats on the nice finds, & enjoy the weather in your part of America.

I checked the law books and found that it wasn't against the law but it was frowned upon by other Minelab owners...But friends are friends
and we have fun so I will let them come with me I guess. LOL...These are a bunch of gr8 fellas and we have a good time.
The truck is a Toyota Tundra Prerunner and it was built in Baja Ca.
I wanted to buy a Silverado but the salesmen at the Chevy dealership
saw me with long hair and a beard and wouldn't come out of the building to wait on me so I went to Toyota right down the street...Their loss and my gain cause I love this truck...I did call the Chevy sales manager tho and he wasn't to happy...LOL...I told him never judge a book by its cover and he needed to pay his sales people less and maybe they would venture outside when a customer drove up...
Sorry about all u guys with the frozen ground...I put up with it for 21 years in MN and ND...You couldn't run me out of SC with a bucket of crap and a mop...Ill be able to TH all year round I hope
I just started this hobby in August and figured I would buy the best equipment I could afford so I bought the Quattro and a X1 probe...All I can say is Thanks Sunray for a gr8 product!! If you can afford one you will never regret buying it and if you cant save every bit of clad you find until you have enough to buy one. Sunrays service is beyond reproach and the X1 probe is worth every penny.
Happy Hunting

I've owned two Toyota trucks and put over 400,000 miles on each one of them. They're great trucks in my book, but what about detecting in Nevada? I took a little weekend trip up there a while back and got the shit scared out of me by one of the BLM people. She said it was against the law to detect in Nevada, let alone in any of the old mining towns. What do ya think about that? Curious.:sad:

Gi'day Mark,
Just a question, why can't you detect in Nevada, as I know you've mentioned this before in a post? Unless it's covered by a heritage issue, and if you're not tresspassing, public land or parkland which the council owns but has been set aside for recreational purposes, well, metal detecting is now recognised as a recreation in many parts of the world. Probably, the only thing you'd have to be aware of are the by-laws. Find out what your rights are Mark, you may have more leeway than you realise.

Hello Angela,
I am a new member of the forum. I've always appreciated your excellent posts, & great pictures. I live in the Northeastern part of Nevada. I also work for the Nevada Division of State Parks. Unless your trying to detect without permission on private property or your trying to detect on a recognized historical site, I say you can detect away. Nevada is 85% public land, with lots of deserted ranches, old parks, etc. It's just like most other places, where it's not only the law, but proper to ask for & receive permission prior to detecting.
All of the Federal & State public land agencies have easily found phone numbers & public information personnel who can answer your questions, etc about detecting. There is alot of mis-information about detecting. I personally am still learning how to use my Quattro. I have been detecting in a marina / park area. As long as I don't make a mess, I have permission to detect away. That's really the key. In my opinion as long as you have some ethics, and a lay person can't tell where you dug your holes, your doing yourself & other detectorists a favor.
I made an earlier post about the ground being frozen & not being able to detect.
I can't wait for spring to get here so I can detect again. You & your husband obviously don't have that problem in your part of the world. Blessings to you
& your family. Jim W.

Beachguy77,
Hello. I didn't see your post until now. I answered Angela's post. I do not want to sound like a broken record, so please read it if you get a chance. The answers you can get are like alot of things, varied & dependant upon who you talk to. I would ask for a written guidelines pamphlet on metal detecting from the BLM. Let your fingers do the walking & check out their website, under the Department of the Interior. They have some clearly written guidelines. If that doesn't help, call the BLM Field office in the area you are planning to detect. Be specific. If you find a deserted ranch with no standing buildings, & its on public land, what's to stop you? Do you fill in your holes? Is it a recognized historical site?
I would avoid any standing ghost towns. You have got to hit the side areas. Chances are these " ghost towns" have been hit harder than a freight train anyway.
If you turned it around, & I visited your home state, I obviously wouldn't have a clue on where to detect. You have to have some friends or some inside info. You know where you can & can't detect in the area you live in. There's a hundred places right now that I want to check out within 50 miles of where I live. They include old railroad depot sites, old ranch sites, etc. I have found some great places due to duck hunting with my brother. Nevada is a great place due to 85% of the State being public land. Use common sense & you will never get in trouble. If that fails, plead ignorance.

Beachguy777,
My apologies for leaving a 7 off your name. FYI, I am by no means an expert on Metal detecting in Nevada, a Nevada Trial Lawyer, or am I pretending to be one. I wanted to add a couple of quick things. I am used to being in areas where there's no people around. Personally, I am going to detect if I find a deserted ranch site, & I know it's not an old pony express stop, etc. On the other hand, I am not going to bring out a Backhoe & try to dig up an old dump site. A State employee got into some serious trouble & rightfully so for digging up an old dump site in a ghost town called Shermantown. My point is there are alot of super places to check out & detect in. Do some good research & hopefully your efforts will be rewarded. Best Regards, Jim W.

Gi'day Jim,
First, welcome to the forum! I appreciate your reply, and the other post to Beachguy (Marc). We also have very similar laws as yourself, here in Australia. And though there are a lot of areas that we have access to, to freely detect, it wouldn't take much to have that changed if the laws weren't respected and adhered to. One thing I like from what I understand is that, if any of you find a relic that's of significant value to your government, and if they want that relic, they are prepared to reimburse the finder the value or cost of the relic. Is that correct? So the treasure hunter gets something out of it. Here, it's a different story. If us Aussies find treasure that the government wants, they take it off you, no reimburse whatever for your costs, or the value of the object. As a result, some treasure hunters chose to say nothing of some of their finds. Say I was to find a cache of buried treasure at a beach, then the dilemma I would be in is, do I notify the authorities and let them take it, after all the effort it took for me to find it, with no reimbursement to myself, or do I say nothing, and keep it for myself? I'm talking hypothetically here of course, but it's certainly food for thought.
There was this guy in WA who found a dutch east Indies wreck with many old Spanish treasures on it, fought many court cases to lose. And he lost in a lot of others areas, family breakup, financially, etc. He had spent many years researching and diving to his own cost, to have it all taken away from him. So, you can imagine how wary we become over here. Garry, dived for 18 years, had discovered a shipwreck through much research through old papers, dredging through sand off likely sites. But the marine archaeological society got wind of it, and wanted to put diving restrictions over the area, but could never locate where the wreck was. To this day, Garry knows the exact site of the wreck, but will not tell anyone about it. So it remains hidden in the sand in about 60 feet of water, and as far as he's concerned, that's where it will stay, until the laws change.
Cheers Angela
PS. Dredging for gold is also now banned in the rivers, which is something he loved doing over the years. So it's very important to protect our hobby by, as you've already stated Jim, filling in our holes, leaving nothing for anyone to critise us over.

Angela,
Thanks for sharing your insight & stories. I have somewhat of a dilemma where I work. I know of an old stage stop / boarding house site is it called " Way Station in Australia? that dates back to the 1860's. Unfortunately or fortunately, its a part of the park. It is also close to a well traveled roadway. I cannot justify going out & metal detecting at this sight, especially in my uniform / with my work vehicle, or even after work. I have been very tempted though. There are some great big trees that numerous people must have used to picnic at, etc. I would be willing to bet that all of us who like to detect, have a similar story to tell about some site they want to detect, but cannot. I am just getting started, and I hope to / will remain ethical.
Anyway, please keep writing & posting your finds. Your forums are always a pleasure to read.
