I agree about being in the mountains. I've deveoped gold fever, but still under control as I continue research. I'm interested in gold prospecting and mostly on the Smith River. IF my prospecting works out, I'd think I'd like to get a GB2. About 40 years ago, I had a metal detector and used it all over in Warren ID. (old mining town). I was 15,found lots of junk and a few Indian head pennies but still exciting. When I tried using one in FL 5 years ago, I immediately ran into stares and scowls for just showing up. It's kinda like they're either for or against, no middle ground. Yep, I always leave things as good or better where ever I go.
Just noticed you're nearby (I think) and wanted to say howdy.
