Can you post it please?

I would like to know some opinions about metal detection at a distance, using the L rodblank. We know that if we are looking for a particular metal, it will be to place a controlroom that metal, but this is not 100% accurate! You must also use a gem or crystal thatmake the vibrational connection! So what gemstone or crystal would be best to usevoucher with blank? Best regards, Catalin Hello!

Ya know - dredges are illegal now in California - even the little itty bitty ones. Too bad - about the only way you can get onto government land that isn't a fee park any more is to have a VERY long hose on your dredge and REACH over the "no trespassing" signs. From what I heard along the grapevine is that it's because someone is building a Casino and didn't want dirt in the water for their customers. There are groups opposing the law, but as far as I can see this state wants people caged. I'm just here visiting relatives and it would be a cold day in hell before I ever moved to a place the Gov has seized all open land. Holy cow. Anyhow, I'll be reading your blog from NV pretty soon, LOL. Enjoying this site - stop by my place sometime and jaw with the rest of us hounds - you have the URL. Would love to talk with ya more.

I have read several places on the internet that it often costs more to prospect than you find, is this true?

One simple test you can try is that you check if the flake is magnetic. Gold is not magnetic, so if it sticks to or pulls toward the magnet, it is not gold. Hi Max,

I found some flakes which look like gold and bend like gold. They look like my 14k ring. They are on some black substrate and bend. But they did not conduct electricity when touched with my cheap ohm-meter. Is this a solid test? What would you do to see if its gold and I'm not a fool? :-) I heated it in the microwave for 5 minutes and did not have a sulfur odor. But maybe I need to heat over a flame? I have a gas camping stove so maybe that would Hi Jerry,
