Chris, You are right. Reese put a great deal of effort into his book and it came out beautifully. I have my copy and your customers should not hesitate to purchase one. Bugler

Thank you Chris! I couldn't make out which detector you were using. It looked like a 4500 or 5000. I don't think it was the Z. Am I mistaken? Bugler

Thank you for sharing, Chris. Those are beautiful pictures and great memories for your family.

Chris, Just want to say a big thank you for the outstanding service you provided on my order placed late Friday. I received it Monday up here in Montana. Bugler

Chris, Very sorry for you and your family's loss. Bugler

Terry, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Each time I file a Plan of Operations the Forest Service worries about me digging a hole.....how wide and how deep? While the entire forest around me is dying due to neglect. It is time that each state manages the lands within its border. Bugler

Clay, This is an outstanding post! Thank you very much for taking the time to help us all out! Bugler

Good Morning, Can someone help me understand the "small miners exemption" and the reduction in filing fees? I am part owner in an association claim of 160 acres and I file a Maintenance Fee Payment Waiver Certification by Sept. 1st and an Affidavit Of Labor by Dec. 1st and our fee is $10.00 for the claim. In the event that we did not "work" our claim we would have to pay $140.00 per 20 acres of the 160 acres or $1120.00. So, again, if we did not "work" our claim how would the "small miners exemption" save us from the full cost of the new fees? Thanks for your information. Bugler

Good Morning, All, I did pick up Whink's Rust Stain Remover. My question now is whether or not I should dilute it at all or use it as is? Bugler

Gold Seeker, Thank you for the clarification. I'm sure I would have just reached up on the shelf and taken any one of the products called "Whink". I will give this a shot and let you know how the product worked. Bugler

MT-AZ-HP and Waynerboy, Thank you for the "heads-up" guys. I will give Whink a try. This nugget appears to have a fairly thin layer of quartz over both sides and a nice thick center of gold. It may be that the lesser acidic product will do the trick. Good luck in your hunting! Bugler

Good Morning, I live in the Quartzsite area and have found a nice 3oz. nugget (I am not set up for photos). Anyway, does anyone know where I might get ahold of some hydroflouric acid to take off a bit of quartz on this piece? I am willing to travel to someone who has some acid and pay to have this given a bath. Can anyone help? Thanks, Bugler

I am selling this detector for a couple in Canada and as far as I know they wish to sell it all as one unit. Let me get back to you after I contact them if they want to sell it by itself. Bugler

Thank you, Lunk. I was about to make a big mistake according to your advice. I have many beautiful nuggets and have decided to sell some to assist me in going after some more. With costs of mining going sky-high, I might as well put some of my good fortune back into my diggings. I hope to meet you one day. I've been keeping track of your adventures........keep it up!

For anyone out there who sells gold, Do you sell most of your gold through a refinery or do you sell it to an individual? If a refinery, which one do you do most of your business with? Bugler
