Yeah, I have been thinking along those same lines (keeping it). It's so hard to come up with the cash when you want something and this works already, I just have to get out and use it. My wife is not into this type of stuff at all, but she tolerates my hobbies. At least if I pick a nice stream or pine trees with water nearby she loves it. Desert camping is a little harder to convince her to go out to with a child. Yet, she doesn't want to stay home when there is adventure either, so I guess the best thing would be to get out the old motorhome and do some driving to some good spots so I can use this stuff again. I am close to Julian, but every time I've tried to go anywhere around there, I only find specks of gold if any at all. This is why I have stuck close to the beaches. I can find more gold in a day at the beach than I ever will within 100 miles of my house. Too bad though, because I really enjoy desert prospecting. John, good point about rising prices, I hadn't thought that one out. Were you talking about detectors or drywashers?
