Im sure most of you who are into the hobby of metal detecting for gold are aware of the current affairs as of late pertaining to the health of Ray Mills. I havnt read anything on this forum about it so Ill speak up. From what Ive heard he doesnt want to be bombarded with well wishes directly, but if he so chooses to read it on here, I hope he does.
I do not know him on personal level, but I have bumped into him a time or two. Ill say it like it is. Ray, you are the bs'er of all bs'ers. When I was still green behind the ears id ask him for a little advice, some was good, some I questioned.... after my luck picked up, his advice got more dicey. Dont ask him about what settings to use, thats all I have to say. Ray I say this all in good humor, we are all praying for you, take it easy for now, there's plenty more gold left for you to dig. Hope to see you back on the trail after your recovery. -Gabe

The first coils over the nugget patches turned up some incredible gold!
Ray’s been nothing but open about helping everyone.

He was kind enough to take me to a couple of his “spots” based on a cold call.
Never met or spoke to him prior. We got along great and I have always wanted to go back out again.
Of course I’ve never been back to those spots out of respect.

Great treasure hunter.

Ray, you've given me good advice in the past, and you've always been great to answer my questions.

Here's praying for your speedy recovery.

All the best,

Lanny

Funny the new activity on this thread. I bumped into him Sunday on the trail. Could see that full head of silver hair a quarter mile away.
