    That BH Sharpshooter II is fine detector. Learn the three tones, use a good pair of headphones, you'll do great! Questions?...just ask.

    Tahoe is a really beautiful area (except when locked in by an avalanche like I was!) I would kill for time in that area prospecting/detecting for gold. Sow some really promising looking streams while driving in the area.
    Equipment:
    Minelab: CTX 3030, GPX 4800, X-Terra 705. Whites TDI SL.

    2024: Silver 1, Gold 0
    Best finds: 28 silver dime spill, 1800s Dutch customs seal.
    Oldest/best coins: Late 1700's Chinese Cash Coin, 1837 Upper Canada large cent, 1877 Seated Dime
