High power lines 61 1
Started by dfazz247@hotmail.com
I'm heading to a GPAA property that has power lines on the eastern end. I just bought a MineLab GPX5000. Only been out with it once. Will the powerlines throw the machine for a loop, or will it be able to handle the situation. I currently have an 11' Double D and a 12'x15' Mono. I also have a VLF just in case. Thanks, Dean

Peer training for metal detecting gold 222 1
Started by doylemac@hotmail.com
My wife and I just finished a month long prospecting trip to Arizona, using a Garrett AT Gold and AT Max. We hit a few claims in 2 different counties, Mohave and Maricopa. We detected the washes and got trash, of course. We detected hillsides, depressions, runoffs, etc.... and got lots of copper, lead, iron, and such in large and very miniscule pieces. More experienced prospectors have told us we are doing it correct since we find the very small stuff. It would be nice to have an experienced...

World's biggest cache hunt! 417 0
Started by frankn1937@hotmail.com
The Ghost town is Gallows Harbor, PA. It is on the west branch of the Susquehanna River. There are 6 large chests and 6 smaller chests plus a glass skull filled with coins, gems, etc. There is a novel on Kick start that has all the clues needed to find the caches. A good metal detector would also help. I have seen the preview pictures of the 6 chests, but the picture option no longer exist in this forum. One looks like the Arc of the covenant That Indiana Jones was after.
