Happy Thanksgiving to you Chris and family

I have a 4500 bought about a year after it came out. Had issues with it after awhile and after a trips to Minelab for repair to no avail, sent to Woody, he found and repaired the problem and did a mod at the same time. Impressed how quiet it ran. A couple of years ago, sent in for the latest mod, adjustable front gain. Last year was tough on me prospecting, so hadn’t had a lot of chances to test. A friend who had his 5000 modded came down to Quartzsite and helped me set it up. Picked up a test ‘nugget’ at 16”. Last month at Dome Rock, at a get together, using a ‘tool’ Patrick designed, I planted a .5 gram piece of lead at 16”. My modded 4500 sounded off a couple of inches high, Bill Southern’s modded 3500 also sounded off well. A stock 5000 could not hear it. A famous detectorist from Las Vegas scrubbed his 7000 over the target and could barely hear it. Bottom line Woody’s mods work!

One that liked getting into the cactus and you'd be pull'n thorns in the evenings. Can't remember time frame,years ago at Rich Hill.

How's the puppy Redbeard?

Last month, down at at Q, we did a test using Patrick's test probe (puts a splitshot whatever at a specific set depth w/o disturbing ground. 12" EVO sounded out off loud on shot at 8", my 14E Advantage 'heard' it. Just bought the EVO, but haven't had a chance to use yet.

Found a rock detecting last December, which had a bit of gold showing. Did a SG test and found it to have around an ounce +/- in it. Got ahold of a friend, Steve Wandt at www.naturalgoldjewelry.com and asked if him if he’d like to play with it. He did. Have 3 photos from rock to finished product and the pics don’t do it justice. Have a free minute, go to his website and take a gander at his gallery. He’s the Master! Thank You, Steve

air pockets?

Norm, did 3 different tests; 7/8 oz, 1.13, and 1.5 oz. ? I don't know??

Steve sent some pics of the Q rock sliced, I found a couple of weeks ago. Gonna be a couple of prettie’s when finished, I think!

Merry Christmas to you Dick and others also!

Jen, as said above, Q has been hammered. It's a good location for old farts to congregate when the sun shines and wind quits. Gold? Bits and pieces are found; be leary when several try to send you so far south close to the border; what are they hiding up north? Also, have to be watchful of the rooster in the black truck. Great personality, but can't boil water. Merry Christmas Jen and to all else a good night!
