Metal Detecting discussions and finds

Yeah it was bare ground the 8th!

 

It's going to be a while for sure.

 

I feel your pain brotha... TRUST!!!

 

Hahaha...THANK YOU for starting my day off right with a huge deep belly laugh...I needed that!!

 

Hmm, so if I want to target meteorites that may be in heavy alkali dry lake beds, and maybe nuggets in dry desert stream beds with black sand here and there, should I look for a PI based MD? Does Garrett make those? Not looking to spend a lot, just starting out. Thanks!

 

That's right around when you got your detector, isn't it?
I hope it melts out quickly for you!

 

Garrett makes the ATX pulse induction. They run about $2k. I have one and I have had decent luck with it.

 

Yikes! I guess PI is the expensive type? Any other options?

 

i got it in mail that day! Found my first penny then it started piling up with snow

 

So, you have realized a one cent return on your investment.

So far.....

 

Haha yep!

 

Maybe if i hope long enough...i can dig a hole in my property and find somegold bars.. lol

 

There is a detector made by Tesoro called the Sand Shark. It runs about $570 or so... BUT... the company is currently in a non-production mode at the moment. Something about restructuring was last I read? Tesoro detectors are some of the best from what I know.

Other than that, I don't know of PI machines that are fairly "cheap in price"?

 

Start digging. If you start finding gold bars lemmeknow and I will head up there and give you hand!

 

@wilcam47 close your eyes, plug your ears with fingers (block out the naysayers), and whisper 'I believe, I believe....

 

Its better than 0.
If you don't win the first one, you can't win them all.

 

That's true. Mr. wilcam didn't get skunked on his first time out. That is a good sign!

 

Tesoro HQ is just a couple miles from my house. That place is a ghost town.
