    Just what I needed while having my morning coffee...a Two Toes video. My wife and I were going to camp for the next few days over the mountains in gold country, but the weather looks pretty cold and wet for that. Changed our plan to day tripping so won't be going as far. First stop is the closest hydraulic pit that had some small sucess with coarse gold. We will see if my winter homework and this video will bring me luck.

      If the river has spots where you have to walk around gravel bars, then I use old work boots. I get old boots from the flea market that are a size to large, then use wet suit socks. If there isn't much hiking then I will use semi hard sole wet suit boots.

    • @TwoToes

      I put that Jimmy coil on a new TDI and it did not work worth a darn. I buried a small nugget about 5 inches deep and my detector with the Jimmy coil read it loud and clear. The new TDI picked it up but just barely. When I put the Jimmy coil on the new detector it would not pick it up at all. When I put the stock small coil from the new TDI on my detector it picked it up fine.

      Oh so yeah this is Jerry again I don't know how to send a picture on this so I describe it it's got 5 circular stones and then one in the middle it's held up by metal it look really old but I put it in something in it get rid of the tarnish good that the stones look porous the first day look like gold and I don't know any other way to describe it but if I could send a picture I also found some gold on my property that I I don't know if it's Golder pyrite but you know put it in my mouth and actually bent it so thanks gold
