Arnold the Terminator

Hi Everyone,

Well I understand that another longtime prospecting business is closing it's doors in California. When Arnold signed the bill to stop all dredging in California he destroyed a whole industry. Dredging doesn't endanger fish to the point of extinction at all ! But the Terminator at the stroke of a pen has taken another freedom from a country that he cares nothing about. All he wants to do is make Terminator movies ! I am hoping that there will be an awakening by the gold dredgers to take back the right to be out in the wilderness and to find that yellow metal in the waterways of California again. Bring back the miners and makers of the equipment, like dredges, to bolster the economy of the State of California and other areas as well. It is only going to comeback if we all try to make our voices heard where it counts. I don't even live anywhere close to gold country, but it makes me madder than a trapped bobcat as to what Arnold did. So that is that and I will be quiet now.

Fisher F75

Howdy all,

I get a lot of calls about what I feel is the absolute best metal detector for the money. Well my opinion is the Fisher F75 VLF. I have wrestled with this opinion for quite some time because the Minelab Etrac is one darn good machine too. But in the end the F75 is lighter, faster recovery, more sensitive, deeper, and easier on batteries. So there ya go for what it's worth. Dave Johnson and Mr.Gardiner have kept the Fisher F75 as king of the hill. So if any of you have been trying to figure it out and if my opinion is worth anything to ya then there it is. You know I do sell them but I don't give them away. Well good hunting all and stay safe in the field.

Rising Prices

Howdy everyone,

I hope your all getting along. You have probably noticed some items on my website that have risen in cost. I hope that big inflation isn't setting in but as a very small business I am forced to raise some pricing due to the rise in wholesale costs. I am hopeful with reserve that this will not continue. I am not going to swallow everything Big Brother tells us. I am tempted to follow a buddy into the goldfields to look for the yellow metal. The State of the Union doesn't seem too solid at this time. But if anything God Bless our fighting troops overseas and may they come home whole and safe. The Congress of this Nation has not the interest of the People in their thoughts and actions. Our last President left the southern border unsecured and so goes it with the present administration. Now I am supposed to be a metal detector dealer and forgive my outspoken posting, I just feel the need to say something about what is coming at us lately. Please forgive the Rant. So may God Bless you all and if you have any needs for metal detecting equipment or prospecting gear give me a ring and I am always thankful for everyones patronage. Be safe.

Meteorites

Hi Everyone,

I hope your all weathering this economic mess going on in our country today. I have been getting a lot of calls wanting me to ID someones possible meteorite rock. I cannot and will not try to identify a rock as being a meteorite over the telephone. Iam sorry but it isn't possible to do this.

I also am not a buyer of meteorites, I sell metal detectors to you so that you can use it as a tool to find meteorites. Meteorite hunting is a lot of fun as with any kind of metal detecting. But I am more than happy to assist you in buying the right metal detector for your needs. There are many good quality metal detectors available to you all. Be sure to call me for help with the purchase of a metal detector and it is always my pleasure to chat to anyone because service is thr larger part of our business. Thank you all for your support and as always be sure to leave a message if I don't answer right away when making your call to us. Be safe in the field everyone.

Weather

Hi everyone,

I hope your all beating the heat. We have had some unusual temps here in the triple digit area which at least for me has shut down my metal detecting completely. I hope it will change when we get to September for the much cooler side. I want to say also that may we all be asking our God to bring back better economic times to the United States of America. I know many that are in stressful conditions with the recession. Metal detecting probably is the last thing on most people's minds. I don't want to see anyone doing without and we should help each other through this rough period. May all our fighting men and women of the military come back home safe and whole. This is something I wanted to say and I wish everyone the best, and I hope to meet some of you in the field. So stay safe and good hunting to all. God Bless ya.

Gold Prices

Howdy All,

It is amazing about gold value. I never thought I would see gold 1700.00+ an ounce ! This is the time to consider prospecting for gold especially if your out of work. It doesn't take a lot of costly equipment to go for the gold either. You can even find plans for building your own stuff if you look around the internet. You just need to research on where to go prospecting and figure out your expenses for a trip. I used to live in Tucson and went to the desert nearly every weekend. We had a homemade drywasher and it did a fair job of getting some gold. But checkout our sluices, gold pans, classifiers and other equipment and start planning your own prospecting excursion and good luck !
