~*~Mining and Metals Du Jour~*~

[ConferredDiligence]

Minelab is the Lamborghini of metal detectors, I use a GPX 4500 with a Nugget Finder coil. Hunting for placer gold in the deserts of the Southwestern US is my retirement goal, you can become a member of GPAA and legally prospect on their claims all over the US and keep what you find. I use Arizona Outback as my source for everything, very nice people, they even put together yearly Minelab metal detector prospecting trips to the deserts of the Australian outback...lots of gold there, they train you on your Minelab and you keep what you find.
