Charles Garret who along with his wife started Garret Metal detectors in 1964, Passed on 4/3/2015. Sad news indeed. First time I ever tried nugget hunting was at Quartzite with a Garrett Deepseeker. It worked, I found several nuggets.

You're welcome Jim. I read the same books, etc. I hope you've done well with your silver hunting lately!
Best wishes to you!
