I just saw a K Southern vid about a week ago testing a Vista x on his hot ground, banging a 10" dime with the 8" Octagon coil. His ground is not as hot as culpepper, I think he said 4 bar dirt. Vid was made a few years ago. Analog detector.by possum mo - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

Re: MINELAB MANTICORE: DATA & PERFORMANCE - 7 weeks ago
Here is a vid from CD, pulling non-ferrous from iron. He shows the 2D screen. That screen is definately underrated by alot of users on youtube in my opinion. So much info there, I think I will be using that feature alot when I get out in the field hunting. Fedex is coming today!by possum mo - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

steve g ,,,,, rings from aluminum - 2 months ago
Hi Steve. Years ago I owned a Rutus Detector. If I remember correctly the number scale was 0-120. I detected alot of parks with pulltabs gallore. I dug every target in the aluminum range that locked onto one number. I always dug those. Many times those were rings. Every now and then it was aluminum, but most aluminum wavered between 2 or 3 numbers. My number of found rings went way up thatby possum mo - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

Re: Gold price - 4 months ago
Steveg, very well-articulated ! My precious metals percentages in my portfolio are quite a bit higher than the 10% most advisors use. Owning any kind of paper now days is more risky than in the past. Bonds, stocks, etc. I met Bob a few years ago on a housecall, an 80 year old retired college professor. Back in the 1970's he saw the hand writing on the wall when Nixon took the dollar ofby possum mo - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: Gold price - 4 months ago
When CBDC becomes widely known, that it is coming, Silver will be next to impossible to buy, as panic will set in amongst the population. Its already getting difficult to withdraw a larger amount of cash from the bank now. That will become much more difficult then. Think and plan ahead. Could be lots of chaos coming.by possum mo - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: Gold price - 4 months ago
I personally recommend holding the physical metal. The paper instruments can vaporize and disappear over nite. Look at whats happening in the crypto world. Billions vanish overnite. The government is planning on rolling out a crypto dollar. It is being tested as I write this. Testing time is 3 months. Not sure when it gets implemented. Scarry stuff. Physical metal can be used for bartering. Phyby possum mo - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: Gold price - 4 months ago
Paul, you make the most sense. Gold and silver are flying out of the comex like a bat out of hell. Huge buyers, probably central banks are buying as many as 10 tons per day. Something is up. Something big. The central banks might be loading up as there is talk of revaluing gold up, to stabilize the shaky banks. Credit Suisse bank is on the edge of the abyss.

Re: CHECKING IN - 1 year ago
Hi Dilek, I own 2 of your detectors and love them, I had one service issue on a coil 5 years ago, and it was promply taken care of by you. Very satisfied with you, and your products. One question about the legend. I heard you say on your demonstation that EMI disappears at the touch of a button. Is it an automatic frequency shift? Thank you.by possum mo - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

Re: Silver News - 1 year ago
They say 90% of the options players lose. I never did options. You can't lose holding physical silver , at these prices, and during this inflationary cycle.by possum mo - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: What happened to the $2,000 gold? - 1 year ago
Gold is pricey, silver is a steal at these prices.... if you can find it. Supply is VERY tight. Silver is poor mans gold. Silver will have a massive upside price appreciation from here.by possum mo - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

Tom in CA. Bob bought physical gold, not penny stocks. The old saying goes, ya can lead a horse to water, but you cant make it drink!by possum mo - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: What happened to the $2,000 gold? - 1 year ago
Bob did his homework. HE knew what was coming long term. . The guys that bought high and sold low were the guys who did not do their homework. The fear of missing out crowd. Alot of people that poured into bitcoin lately got to experience the same thing. OUCH. If you want to succeed , do your homework. Whether in investing, business or detecting.

I go to lunch once a month with Bob, an 82 year old sharpie. He started loading up on gold back in the 1970's at $40 per ounce. Still has it. Its been a good investment for him , and soon his kids.by possum mo - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: What happened to the $2,000 gold? - 1 year ago
Anyone buy lumber lately? $10 2x4's , $50 7/16 osb plywood, , how about copper wiring, gasoline, ETC. Inflation kicking in big time. Gold will get there and beyond. Silver , the best commodity deal on the planet now , Priced around the mid $30's, if you can find it. The crap is going to hit the fan real soon.by possum mo - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
