    That's very cool, JT! I think most detectorists would enjoy virtually every form of treasure hunting. I've never panned for gold myself, but I bet it sure is fun when you actually find some!

    Treasure hunting and recouping some of your cost. You sure can't beat that.

    Re: GOLD

    Now that is awesome JT.
    Always wanted to try that. A buddy of mine goes to Montana
    a couple of times a year and invites me along. He goes for two weeks
    a time. I'd love to go with him but can't afford that much time away. crying01
    Maybe some year I'll get the chance.
    Congrats on the nice looking gold.
