Laconia here. Just ordered me a new Falcon MD20 yesterday for the busy season ahead.

Anybody else here have any experience out in the field with this particular machine?

Hi LB I have seen sveral threads of the Falcon md20 , I never read to much about them . Do a couple searches here in the Gold forum , then check the detector forum .

Hey Scott your going to need a Semi. To hall all you equipment. You have the fever alright. Need some gold to break the fever.Thats for sure. Your staying in the right area theres a lot of possibilitys. Its too bad there in the national forest. But I don"t think they get hit very hard. Never tried the Ammonoosic but it is listed as a gold stream. Also the Gale river.

Where can I learn about the Twin River campground "opener"? I checked their site but the events page doesn't mention anything, and neither did the news page. I believe the campground has an off-season, but I'm not even clear on that. Is there basically a timeframe when they're open and another when they're closed?

I haven't been up there yet but plan to make a trip this Spring, and then my GPAA chapter is taking a group trip there in June. Any info on the events up there would be appreciated.

You can read through the posts on this thread and AJP's thread . We all decided to get together May 7th and possibly the 8th at twin river campground in Bath , NH for a day or 2 of sluicing and panning . You should look under AJP"S thread also sence he had the original idea .

It's a catch 22 thing .If you run it as a high-banker you don't need it. But if you put a suction nozzle on it you do.
