Ridge Runner Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Lots of people post here on this forum and it has to be a reason for it. I have never found it to be about just me myself and I. People from all over the world post here and made welcome. If you could post all the knowledge from the people on here I don't think a Library could whole it all. My heart beats fast when I read a show and tell about some ones adventure nugget hunting. The Forum owner Rob Allison and others step up and only ask how can I help you. I just want to thank each and everyone of you for being there if and when I may need you.

ahorton10 Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 I like getting to live vicariously through others haha. When its too hot to get out here in the desert, there's always someone showing their finds to keep the dream alive. Ive also learned a ton from the folks here and by searching old threads. It's also easy to get current information about a particular area because there is such a large network of folks in so many areas willing to chime in and let us all know. I consider these forums one the most valuable resources we have as miners and hobbyists and would definitely like to thank Rob and the others for providing it for us.

frank c Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Chuck I have to say what I like best would be described as ; There have been times I could not partake in what I really enjoy which is detecting. And during those times some of them short and some were longer times I was able to tune in to the forums and see what others were up to. Fulfilling a need and satisfying my want !! And also everyday is a learning experience No matter how much you know or how much experience a person has theres always something to be learned. So when I can't get out there an hear that WEE-OOor sink my pick into the ground , chop some bushes or roots and find that signal I can tune in an "go along for the ride" with others.

Ridge Runner Posted September 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Frank C What you say sounds a lot like me. I've plan a trip to nugget hunt but for what ever reason I get shot down. Reading about others finding gold is that shot in the arm I need to keep going until I can. The thing about a prospector I don't think any of them I didn't like from the start. The first thing about them is they want to share what they know. I think we are all that way. You just have to ask for help from me and it's no limit on the help you get. Rob as we all know that he is a dealer for Minelab. The great thing is he's not the new kid on the block. When it comes to nugget hunting Rob has to be one of the best and sales a product that mirrors himself. Chuck Anders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roo Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 The sensibleness, well mannered, decent attitude of just about everyone here I guess! Also the lack of sneaky spruikers I see on other forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridge Runner Posted September 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 We have other great guys that have forums. The first Chris G. then Bill S. a new forum with Steve H. but he is anything like a new kid on the Block. Steve we all know is a long time prospector and nugget hunter. I do post on them but I guess you could say this has been home for me. Like said no place like home. So if you will please don't knock others but just say what you like about this one .

Alwaysdirty Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 I believe all those forums have great owners and some awesome members as well.Rob Allison has to be one of the nicest though, which shows through to the members here. I also very much appreciate his involvment in this forum. I like how often he shares finds and some info, seems like Rob also has the most videos of finds which is cool.

azblackbird Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 I believe all those forums have great owners and some awesome members as well.Ditto… Met Rob, met Bill, never met Chris, or Steve, but nevertheless, they all seem to be decent upstanding citizens in the gold prospecting community. Same goes for many of the members of their respective forums. There's a wealth of information to be had on all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newriverblake Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 What I like best about this forum is the educational fact about gold prospecting,and there is no Oakwood trucker or Bedrock Bob. Thanks Rob. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
