    I have a detector question if you have any suggestions or info to point me in the right direction. I'm trying to find something halfway decent in the 200 - 500 range. I found a like new XTERRA 705 for 200 but didn't find great reviews. Seen Equinox 600 for a bit more with better reviews but still not great. I know both are Minelab, I'm not stuck on any brand just want the best for what I have to spend and not waste money. I'm in the Central California Valley & hope to "nugget hunt" but plan to "treasure hunt" also when I don't have the time to get in the hills. Thanks & good luck this year!

  • @visamedic
    @visamedic 3 дня назад +1

    Yes. I’m a newbie, so I’m sure this is a stupid question. First of all I’m a fairly new member to the GPAA. I don’t really know anyone. I have panned areas in the Sierras off and on for over 20 yrs. I’ve never seen any kind of specific markings anywhere I’ve been, never been ran off, so with all that said, how do you know an area has a claim on it? I’m assuming they have to mark it clearly.

    Claim Jumpers? I guess no one knows how to check online for active claims.
    You gotta watch out and put signs, up the ass, everywhere!
    Even people, who know better, will come on to your claims. When they are caught, they’ll tell you that they “didn’t see any signs” or that “your mine site looked abandoned”. Liars.
    I got cameras and signs now. No one can miss them. I would prosecute to the limit of the law.
    Think about security. Some people really suck.
