    Gary, I cut a corner off a blue tarp, about 2' by 2', and use it to put my diggings on. It keeps everything from getting mixed up with the surrounding dirt and you can spread the dirt around or put it into piles for further detecting. Also folds up and fits neatly into your back pocket. It saves a lot of time.

I've never seen an explaination of how to find big gold at a hydrolic pit as what you did in this video. You've helped me find more and bigger gold both with knowledge and with tool selection. I have a Marion tool and the others you sell and love them! Thank you for presenting your wisdom and sharing on site what you are doing, using and thinking. I just had to write you. I'm really fired up for prospecting now because, now, thanks to you, I have a way of doing things that really work well. The other day at the river I found twice as much in 1 hr as I have before, working it all day! That makes it fun! Don't worry about length. If you're presenting good info, who cares how long it is! Keep them coming Gary! Monday Mining Day!! Love it!

    At the ripe old age of 72, I'm in my 5th year of metal detecting. Honestly, most my hunting has been around old home-sites and parks. Recently I picked up a Whites TDI-Pro with a 7inch Miner John coil. I live in Corning, Ca ... not to far from your neck of the woods. Your videos have been a major inspiration to me. Hoping I can get some experience here, in Northern California, and learn a new skill with my PI machine. It's just a plain fun hobby, yes? Side note: Who says retirement is boring? =)
