I had a plate made that says (GoldMnr) for Arizona. 1 Plate state, so 1 on my truck for a license plate. 1 on front of my motorhome to display my passion. May work in other states.

Aurthur,
it is a great idea, we tried the Dewalt vac and works great. More than enough run time, light weight. Thanks for the thought. |

An idea for the store is the J hook that's pictured in my Gold Mining Bucket thread. It can securely hook your Pan & Classifier on the outside of your bucket. It works great.

LDMA Name Badges.... Are these still available? If so, please provide a link.
When my mining partner (spouse) and I joined up in June, we thought that a LDMA Name Badge would be easy to find and acquire.

Brad, do you get the Pick & Shovel Gazette? If so look under Miners Marketplace. Or call Barry at 530-501-6009 or you can also try " Engraversintime.com " or e-mail " engraveit@netzero.net ". Ron

- I second the Hermit Picks!
- A wide variety of CMS or K&J Rare Earth Neodymium Magnets (especially Countersunk for adding to Poles and Shafts)
- Snake Guardz in different colors.
- Estwing's Picks, Rocks Chisels, Rock and Crack Hammers, Pry Bars Etc.
- A set of Small Stone Chisels
- A set of 8" to 24" Heavy Duty Pry Bars
- 3 to 5 feet long "Plumber Spade" Pry Bars which are great for Mining. (Anyone who caught an episode of Prospectors, would have seen these commonly used)
- A MUST - This is the best, high quality rig, set-up for anyone who likes to keep their tools close or on them while Prospecting, Mining or Metal Detecting: The Camouflaged Mullet Buster Suspension Rig from Bucket Boss. Made of Mossy Oak rip stop 600D/poly fabric.
- The Estwings Harness Belt and Bags (great for Rock Hounding and Prospecting)
- A varity of Finds Bags, I have several different ones that I love. (Will return to list my favorites later)
- A wide varity of crevicing tools (Will return to list later)
- A good set of Tweezers and Surgical Picks designed for Gold Prospecting. (I can get the brands out there if needed)
- Field Magnifying Lupes
- Tool Bags heavy duty enough to carry everything to and from the field. (I have so many and sadly still haven't found anything I feel is perfect but I am currently using a Large Military Canvas Duffle Bag with Side Access Zippered)
- A framed Back Pack for tools (will list best choices when I return)
- Non-Metallic Tactical or Work Boots for Desert and Mountain Prospecting i.e. Bates makes some really good ones.
- Wet Suits and Water Waiters
- Many more Metal Detectors especially the most popular Nugget Shooting machines. (I will START with a Garrett ATX and add more later when I return.)
( I HAVE ALOT MORE BUT RAN OUT OF TIME - I WILL RETURN TO EDIT AND ADD)

I add to the Hermit Pick. I use mine detecting and digging to get paydirt to sluice and at hone to weed the garden. They are great all around tools.

I was going to edit my post, add details but maybe it's so old that my suggestions wouldn't be read by the powers that be... Not sure. Am I too late to the party? LOL

I took a torsion bar from a Ford Ranger, cut in half. Put a chisel tip on the cut ends. Has the big hex head on the other ends. Used for breaking open cracks in bedrock in conjunction with a 4 lb hammer or bigger.
Something along those lines might be feasible. |

Gloves, but really good flexible so you can dig with your hands and will last more than a couple of hours. I chew up gloves , sometimes 2 pair a day.
