One can also place the phone under ground within highly mineralized soil / rock. This can be better then a phone bag.

That is why there is a good market for phone bags etc.
I am old fashioned…I didn’t even take a pen into the field…

Some rocket scientist figured out a poem of two trains on the same track with an Indian with a tomahawk…And the rest is missile defense history…Thanks to gps…

The missile guiding system is based on the three levels of satellites. Don't know if there is a super computer used with all of the satellites.

The thing is they were having a problem with the curvature of the Earth…They were not implementing the Greenwich principle…And the rest is history…

The radius of the approximate circle at a particular point is the radius of curvature. The curvature vector length is the radius of curvature. The radius changes as the curve moves.

Earth is massive enough that the pull of gravity maintains its roughly spherical shape. Most of its deviation from spherical stems from the centrifugal force caused by rotation around its north-south axis. This force deforms the sphere into an oblate ellipsoid.

I am a little wasted…But I am far from being in the spirit…So I don’t think that I had anything to do with suggesting that a rocket engine could be reused when I worked for AHf in the early 90’s…

I won’t even go into the suggestions I made for the mighty USA and the stock markets…lol

I wouldn’t doubt it…It will be a snowballs day in hell when I take any electronic into the field…

Good point, gotta keep those metal detectors away from cell phones or cars they’re liable to talk to each other.

Also power and phone lines not that there is many out in the field.

So true…I wonder what one might be able to find with a detector in some of my areas???

And as for taking a car…I don’t think I’d take any vehicle newer than a 1988 model year… lol

Don't think you will find many on here that have taken these classes.
I really did try to convince my daughter into taking GIA courses…And she laughed at the thought…Same with my sons…

Oh well…I wonder IF I should take the courses…IF I believe the diamond was An IF paragon diamond grade G or H…Do I really need to take the courses???

I am tempted to say the heck with it…I have been offered a pretty sweet deal…I have an opportunity to rent a small house in Mexico for only $100 per month IF I sign a long term contract…I am pretty tempted to jump on this deal…The only thing is…The house in on the outskirts of town…And it will pretty much be as is where is…It will not have any appliances or furnishings of any kind…

What to do…what to do???

I wonder how much longer it will be before a metal detector will be able to link with a car??? I remember seeing a story on tv about a guy who rigged a giant detector onto his Jeep…He drove around and discovered some nuggets with it…

Well if you only have older / out of the latest tech detectors you have nothing to worry about.

I took an old whites gmt to Mexico and dug so much trash…If you think you dig a lot of trash in the states, you should give Mexico a try…You will soon be saying, “There is no place like home.”

I’d still like to retire there though…

Yep digging up trash can almost stop you from finding things worth digging.

Here I have dug many pull tabs and gum wrappers…In Mexico I grew frustrated with the amount of bottle and beer caps dug…
