Metal Detecting discussions and finds

One to boulder city then stay over night then 1.5 to Final destination

 

That sounds close!

 

Breast plates and a lock? Hmmmm... Sorry... it’s Saturday night

We did a archaeological dig once behind what ended up being a bar and house of ill refute during the prohibition, they had some really weird stuff like metal toys of the type I imagine you can imagine, clamp type things and wrist cuffs.
stuff!

 

I don't know didley about electrolysis, but I did find videos on YouTube.

You "restored" those toys, didn't ya'??

 

Oh, so you’re the one who bought them on eBay from me!

 

Shhh... that's our little secret.

 

To be honest it's been a few years since I researched it, I use a 12v battery charger but it has to be a certain type... I think harbor freight has one that works... then just any old piece of steel/ iron like rebar or something and a plastic 5 gallon bucket. I'll have to post some before and after pics in here but its really impressive on really crusty iron objects like that lock

 

Man i found a 1940s acre for sale, i want to talk to realtor see if i can metal detect it..
Lol prob say no but worth a shot

 

Heck yeah! Won't hurt to ask.

 

That is actually what I try to do around here. When they clear some old woods, I try to find out if I can detect it. It helps if you can explain to them that whatever is on it will be lost forever when something is built there.

 

In my younger days id just go, but i dont want to be thrown in jail now...lol

 

Plus, you don't want to make enemies in your new Burg.

 

Yep...i am going to get in on prospecting club

 

Really? That would be cool! Good idea.

 

Yeah he said they got some acreage i can detect on

 

I understand Kingman Wash has gold in it. Never been.

 

Good you’re going to join a club, and it was pretty funny you said you would’ve just gone when you were younger, I would’ve done the same thing. Arizona protect your property laws are strict enough- always ask first down there!!

In gold country, if you ever see a construction crew digging trenches and piling dirt anywhere, hit those up too!

 

hmm have to check out if its no claims on it...i dunno how those work

hmm well they are diggin up our pad for our new house...

 

Prolly wouldn't hurt to pick up some literature on Arizona gold. I can recommend two books: Placer Gold Deposits of Arizona by Maureen Johnson and Arizona Gold Placers and Placering by Eldred Wilson. Maureen really does her homework. The bibliography is 12 pages in a 100 page book! Her book comes with a fold out map illustrating mining districts in the state along with gold production numbers. It even shows the Kingman District!
