fishing8046 Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 Rob Are any new detector videos something to keep your forum alive? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted April 30, 2023 Admin Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 Hello Fishing8046, Tons of footage, just don't have the time to upload it .... Hopefully we can get some traffic back here, always fun to chat with others. Any suggestions on getting more people to post/talk?

Ridge Runner Posted May 4, 2023 Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 It could help if the forum was setup something like what Steve H. forum but don’t have to be in total detail as his . In my opinion here is more like a shotgun effect. Bye that I mean don’t bunch everything together like it is now. Rob I know you running a business and I guess you still have another job but you yourself need to show more interest in this forum to keep it going.

AZNuggetBob Posted May 14, 2023 Report Share Posted May 14, 2023 Rob You may want to add more categories to your forum. Meteorites are big these days, content is king. AzNuggetBob 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZNuggetBob Posted May 14, 2023 Report Share Posted May 14, 2023 And in my opinion you can't expect a forum with no rules, (anything goes) to continue very long. people get offended, and they will read but they won't Comment anymore for fear of the consequences.

BrownNugget Posted May 15, 2023 Report Share Posted May 15, 2023 I’m an offender. I have not posted gold in a while. Maybe so much on YouTube but this is a great forum for help and suggestions just haven’t seen much come through. my last 3.5 day trip was cut short by a flat tire and failed plug. I’m way too conservative when I’m by myself. Cut short by 3 days I might add. 10 hrs of driving and 6 hrs detecting. Long story…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishing8046 Posted May 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 Rob Just 10 posts on this that or the other and this forum will gain traction again. 1) Favorite places to hunt. (Gultches, Hillsides, Mine Dumps, Screen piles, bedrock etc.) Tips and tricks 2) Best research sources, maps, Out of box technics " Here is how to find a new location" 3) GPX coils and setting (Simplify the use of a PI) Pi Basics. 4) Metal detecting patterns. We all have things we relate to gold and these tell-tell signs are the first indicator of gold. 5) Seasons As we all know there are different approaches for each season. Summer Dress right and hunt the areas that normally have the worst vegetation Fall Check the areas that have eroded Winter Hunt the gut of the gulch too hot to hunt when it's hot Spring Find the drainages that historically produce and expand 6) I hate to say equipment but the object is to get and identify as many targets as possible in the course of the day. What does that mean? What type of ground are you hunting? What is your pick of choice? Are there different picks for different areas/seasons Do you know when your detector is telling you Iron or non-Ferrous How do you dig a target? Can you use your coil to pinpoint a target's location? 7) Favorite places to hunt: Deserts High Deserts Foot Hill Mountains Rivers Streams Creek Beds Washes Gultches 😎 What do you do with the gold you find Save your gold Sell Your Gold Repurpose your gold for jewelry 9) Trip preparation: research 10) Hunting Gear. Camel Pack, Foods for breaks, Water or Gator Aid, etc Any or all of the 10 items would make a great thread the idea is to make a contribution to your fellow gold hunters who are dwindling in numbers by the year but each and every one of them has the knowledge to pass on Rob This is your forum you are the best of human beings I challenge you to post a topic on each of the items I have outlined or one of your choice. I hope this helps 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishing8046 Posted May 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 Thanks, Bob I appreciate you. Being left-handed I am always coming at things out of the box. Still looking for a comment from Rob. I am hoping he has been assembling his post on a Word document so he can cut and paste them on the forum... Rob let us know if you need some help or if you are just done... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZNuggetBob Posted May 29, 2023 Report Share Posted May 29, 2023 (edited) Thanks fishing8046 I like posting here and sharing some nugget hunting skills that I’ve learned over the years, even though I get a little flack from time to time for exposing some nugget hunting secrets that some pro’s feel should never be shared with the general public. Strictly around the camp fire stuff. 😃 There is a lot of good info already here on Rob’s forum, just search it in the search bar (top right corner of home page) with good key words. Many of the keywords you posted in your post is a good place to start. Just 10 posts on this that or the other and this forum will gain traction again. 1) Favorite places to hunt.

AZNuggetBob Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 (edited) fishing8046 on the subject of keywords from a Google standpoint you need to be careful not to use to many keywords in your post for the purpose of getting more views. As a matter of fact you don't want to use to many in your header. Its better to use them in your comment body. You see google doesn't like content or keyword "stuffing" and will lower your page rating and traffic. I'm not taking a shot at you just trying to help.
