Hey Old Tom, It's great to get out, I sure wish I can do the same. Heck, I'm broke down at 45 ? Yes, still a lot of gold close by, you don't always have to hike many miles.

Hey Mike, I was thinking it was probably three before, I just never really seen it. Normally there is a ton of cars and junk in front of that building, so it might of just been less visible before for me. Weaver seemed like a decent club and some decent claims for many years. Too bad these clubs can't stick around longer.

Hey Tom, Thanks, we are all stuck working when this beautiful weather blew in ...... Sure wish I was out there swinging today or even tomorrow. Congrats on the nice gold nugget. Always fun to hit new washes or even re-visit areas you found gold prior.

Hey Fred, No question about that, I'm getting older and can now feel it. It don't help when I take these long stretches of not detecting as my detecting strength weakens .....

Hello All, Forgot to mention some time ago I seen a Yellow "Weaver Mining District" sign on one of the shop in Congress, Arizona. It was the shop on the East side of the road, used to be Ed Gregory's old place. I wanted to stop in and see what it was all about. Not sure if it's something old, but I just never seen it there before. Wasn't sure if the Weaver Club was popping up one again. Anyone seen this or know anything about it?

Hello All, It's been awhile since I have actually been out swinging. I decide to hit some old spots with the GPZ 7000. Man, talk about being out of shape, it's only been a few months. The detector seemed so damn heavy without a bungee. I ended up getting sun burned along with a bunch of sore muscles the next day. I can see how you loose detecting strength from not going out all the time. I used to swing the GPZ all day without a bungee with no problems, but the long downtime in between sure took it's toll. That all being said, I was lucky enough to dig enough faint targets for one of them to be this nice .88 ounce gold nugget at depth. I didn't get a measurement on depth, nor did I really care, but it was deep and faint. I also found two smaller dinks during the day along with a bunch of iron rubbish. Right at an ounce of gold with all three nuggets! It was a long awaited hunt for me.

Roger, LSD - Little San Domingo Placers around Morristown, Arizona. Here is an interesting link with a map - http://www.apcrp.org/SAN_DOMINGO_WASH/San_Domingo_Wash_Text_102208.htm Uncle Ron, good friend here on these forums also has custom maps of the area. You can see his website here - http://www.az-gold.com/mapshopping.html Yes, gold nuggets and good drywashing and vac-packing at these placers. I have seen solid gold nuggets over an ounce in size found there along with many much larger quartz/gold specimens. Hope this helps a bit,

Hey Guys, Nothing really to brad about, just a four different hunts. It's getting warm quickly, not sure how many more of those longs days I can do. I'm looking to get out soon before the weather gets too hot.

Hey Cowkiller, Never seen that Youtube Channel, what did they have on it?

Hello All, We got a small batch of Minelab Equinox 600's, 800's & Pro-Find 35 Pinpointers. All of these items will be gone before the end of the weekend, so if you're interested the direct links below are available for ordering - Minelab Pro-Find 35 Pinpointer - https://www.robsdetectors.com/minelab-pro-find-35-pinpointer/ Minelab Equinox 600 Metal Detector - https://www.robsdetectors.com/minelab-equinox-600-metal-detector/ Minelab Equinox 800 Metal Detector - https://www.robsdetectors.com/minelab-equinox-800-metal-detector/ Thanks!

Hey Guys, These new enhancers sold quickly, as the reports of them being used on the GPZ's are awesome! I'm hoping to have another batch show up soon.

Hey Jen, Very interesting. Thanks for posting. More coils for the GPZ can only help.

Hey Dave, Great coil, I know you probably haven't even got much use on it. You should be able to sell quickly.

Hey Uncle Ron, Yes, it was for sure. Floyd and Richard were best friends. I learned a lot from both of them. I still pass over areas detecting where Richard taught me during the early days. I can still imagine him there with me and telling me different things about searching for gold. About three days before Richard checked out, he was really down and out and drinking heavily. He broke out into a cry and said his life was a disaster. I was speechless for a few minutes, not sure what to tell him. I never seen Richard like this. I told him we needed to get back out in the field and that we should write a newsletter, monthly one together. He perked up like a light and said that was a great idea. When I left that afternoon, he was so excited about putting a free newsletter together with articles about hunting for gold. Three days later a good friend from New River called and said Richard took his life. What I learned from this is that you never know what someone is going through, or what might be going on in their head. If you know anyone that is suffering depression or having issues, it's the right thing to talk with them and tell them you love them, you're here for them and so on. It could change their life. I thought I did this with Richard.

Hey Uncle Ron, Yep, I remember that business card. Richard was a great mentor to me. Without his help back in the day, I would never be searching for gold nuggets. He was a great teacher and friend, and without a doubt one of the best nugget shooter's I ever met. I wish I had taken more pictures of Richard and I, but felt he would be around forever.

Hello All, I haven't been doing a whole bunch of prospecting and exploring this year and now it's getting a bit warm. Here are some small batches of gold from 4 different locations. Biggest nugget is aprox. 3/4 of an ounce on the bottom left batch.

Hello All, Got just a small batch in for now of Nenad's new SteelPhase Audio Enhancers. Here is all the details on them below. The are $188.00 + Shipping/Handling in the US. You can order online by using this direct link - https://www.robsdetectors.com/steelphase-audio-enhancer-nenad/ Two prospectors got together and exchanged ideas about building a better audio enhancer. A collaboration between Pat O'Connell (electronics expert) aka SteelPat, and Nenad Lonic (ex Minelab) aka PhaseTech, and the steelPHASE Enhancer name was born. Field testing of various versions revealed different sound profiles (filters) would be beneficial on different detectors and different headphones, so it was logical to incorporate switchable filters into the final product. Very low noise circuitry for the clearest amplified sound allows you hear the faintest of target signals. Combining a rugged yet stylish case and high quality electronic components, the sP01 was born. Description The SteelPhase sP01 is a modern low noise audio enhancer, with built in LiPo battery for over 20 hrs use. Unique features include a Mode switch to accept stereo and mono wiring, and a 2 position Filter. Designed and tested by prospectors for prospectors, with very good results on the Minelab SDC2300*, GPZ7000 and GPX series. It works extremely well with headphones and external speakers alike. Perfectly suited to most detectors, but will provide excellent results particularly on gold detectors that have a faint signal response. Most detectors put out very clear audio, it’s usually the play back device that lets down the audio path. With the sP01, the Filter control allows you to control how much clarity you want coming through. When using stereo headphones, the Mode 2 position also opens up the audio, giving more clarity, with minimal background noise. Features Easy to use Rugged construction Compatible with most detectors Low background noise and hiss 3 selectable filter options 2 switchable output options Broad volume range for precise adjustment USB rechargeable LiPo battery Over 20hr run time High speed charge time Compact and lightweight Military grade components High quality aluminum enclosure Urethane coated pcb for corrosion resistance Professional grade plugs and cable Manufactured in Victoria, Australia Filter Switch This selects one of three different audio filtering options. Each filter has been designed to enhance the signal without boosting unwanted noise. The optimum setting will depend on detector setup and operators hearing preference. Mode Switch Position 1: Used for both stereo and mono wired operation. Position 2: Used for stereo wired headphones or stereo wired dual speakers only. Package Contents 1 x sP01 unit 1 x heavy duty, high quality audio cable, fitted with Amphenol 6.35mm audio plugs 1 x USB charge cable Instruction Booklet

Hey Roger, The piece was solid, no quartz. The piece is now in the hands of a Western US gold collector. Father hasn't had the surgery, he has a Life-Vest on for the time being, just in case the heart rhythm would get crazy. Adam - I will send you a location around the Vulture, a wash that is stacked, worked in the early 1900's, lots of gold found, probably needs to be drywashed!

Hey Roger, Yes, on the 13 ouncer. -

Hey Grubstake, No, he went to the surgeon for a consultation and he said my Dad wasn't ready yet. He wanted my Dad to rest a bit more, strengthen the heart and allow some of the medicines to work. They are talking 2-6 weeks.

Hey Roger, Some great advice already given. Here is a map I found on Google that might help a bit. A lot of gold has been found for hundreds of years in the Bradshaw Mountains. That being said, living close to Congress you have gold in all directions from you. Rich Hill is very close, the Little San Domingo Placers are around Wickenburg-Morristown. You have Vulture placers South of Wickenburg and many placers out West. A lot of places to swing a detector and find gold. Just do a bit of research to find the land status (BLM, Forest, State, Indian Res, Wilderness area and such) and check out the mineral claim status of the area and you're set to detect.

Hello All, I just wanted to wish you all a Happy Easter Sunday. Wishing you all Health, Wellness and a personal relationship with the Good Lord above.
