Jennifer Bond

Kind of like you! Sorry did I say that out loud? 🤭 You have to admit, you walked, (scratch that)... RAN into that one. Have a nice day. Jen

PM sent, thanks Joe. Jen

Thank you, am out detecting, will pm when I get back to camp. Not really in distress but like all my gear complete Jen

Still looking....

Awesome, thanks for sharing.

Nope, never swung a detector in my life, but yes, you're right, as my tolerance to male cow feces (an example being your comments) grows lower, I have in fact chose to stop wasting my time on various forums, (some I've paid to support via cash and/or content) by contributing valued content and my contributions being replied to with childish behavior and useless bickering by most, case in point, again, your comments. If you've "seen me around" you'd know I post on and support Aussie forums http://golddetecting.forumotion.net/t26577-a-little-arizona-au-for-your-viewing-pleasure I'm sure you know the saying, those who brag about it, aren't getting any, those who are, keep it to themselves. I don't feel the need to swing from some pseudo third appendage with countless posts about my recoveries or contributions to the hobby. I prefer to focus on quality participation to the hobby, not wasted fluffy quantity not quality posts, including recently donating over $1,200.00 to an Aussie bush saving cause to protect the ground we detect on (how much did you say you donated?)... but to answer your question, nope, I've never swung a detector in my life and nope, I've never touched a nugget that I never purchased. Nope, never owned several mining operations in the British Columbia gold fields, nope, never owned the only remaining hydraulic mining operation in BC, Canada, Nope..... never flown to Australia several times to detect and given up a 6 figure job to detect full time, never held a Victoria, Australia fossicking license/mining license for the past 4 years and good till 2025 and am a paid up for the next 3 plus years of the PMAV (Victoria, Aus mining association).... sheesh, I feel like I've missed out on so much, most women my age have accomplished so much more and contributed so much more to the hobby. Should you feel qualified to provide a rebuttal to this post, I eagerly await the challenge, but you're out of your league when it comes to smart comments like you felt the need to share, I will not be responding, out of respect for Chris and his other members here, and I would prefer to be just left alone, because posts like yours are why I chose to make decisions like above, to give my efforts where appreciated, off shore... have a great weekend. PS: That all being said, what forums I participate in, or stop participating in is none of your concern, focus on your own life, not mine. Jen (No, I haven't fallen in a mine shaft, I'm still finding the ounces, I just no longer feel the need to talk about it on American forums)

19" NF EVO all the way. You can't find a nugget at any depth if your coil is so big that you can't get it between the scrub to get over the gold or it's back in the car out of frustration.

For what my opinion is worth, as much as I keep buying these big coils (then selling them at a loss after doing nothing more than banging bushes), I always end up back at a smaller elliptical, they're just so much handier for under scrub poking.... now hopefully they don't come out with a 25" elliptical, then I'll really have a dilemma.... joking aside, I have yet to see some place here in America where the size of this makes up for the frustration of it getting caught on everything around it... and Chris knows, I'll jump at any opportunity to give him my money, but under 20" Evo ellipi's still are my weapon of choice (with the 7000 collecting dust in the closet) as the photos in this link show works for me. http://golddetecting.forumotion.net/t26577-a-little-arizona-au-for-your-viewing-pleasure#256556 Now that all being said.... get ready kids... once people start letting the secret out, that's going to be deadly in WA and when I come across land that looks like this photo below, here in the US, I'd be the first to buy one. Jennifer (No, I haven't fallen in a mine shaft, I'm still finding the ounces, I just no longer talk about it on American forums).

Even with Chris having a picture of his daughter holding it as a model and the highly probable chance she may want to show friends ect this neat picture of herself on dad's website and thus the incredibly high risk she may see your comment and at the very least, cause her to ask "what does he mean" and put Chris in a difficult spot, if she doesn't figure it out on her own... you still could not resist? That's an interesting way to introduce yourself to the community considering it's only your second post.... It's crazy times we live in. PS: Welcome to the forum.

I just wish we had the same clearings here big enough for large coils like that. I've owned several of the 20" plus NF coils and just never was lucky enough to be on ground open enough to swing one... but it sure would be great for a dozer push I'm working on this Summer... hmmmmmmmm Let us know when you have pricing... thanks Chris. Jen

Boooooooo

Yup Chris, those are the fields we both love and know so well..... those are the ones we're trying to save.... nice specie.... Take care Jen

If anyones interested in making a donation, I may be interested in matching you.... keep in mind, I'm poor white trash so am not rich, but if you are thinking about it, and need a push over the ledge... let me know.... let's show them aussies that we care. Jen

All those awesome pictures we google at of HUGE finds down under folks....... will be no more!!!!! All those dreams of trips down... will be no more..... Take my lead..... (I've blurred out the amount I donated cus that's not why I'm posting this)... let's show them that those of us on this side of the pond care as well, they're already feeling the guilt burn of being outdone buy a yank, let's keep it going... a little rivalry to save the gold fields... $1.00 or whatever you can spare.... let's help them save us all!!!!!! Show them that all of us who fly down there and detect on THEIR land, are not just takers..... we want to give back... https://www.gofundme.com/xtuq3-bush-user-groups-united?utm_medium=email&utm_source=product&utm_campaign=p_email%2B5332-donation-receipt-adyen&utm_content=internal Jen

When it comes to snakes in AZ, as far as I'm concerned they're all racers cus the minute I see one, everything for 360 degrees around me is a 1/4 mile track and I'm already at the other end of it.... I'll send the national guard in to retrieve my detector..
