Where did and what bracket did you use and how'd you bolt??
@randystreasureadventures2 ай бұрын
I just cut the clamp portion off of the trolling motor mount, drilled four holes in it on top, two on the vertical to connect into the rudder bolts, and used a metal plate on top of the bracket for reinforcement. I used bolts mounted through aluminum tubing inside the hull to make sure everything would be sturdy from the inside. The hardest part of this project is getting the bolts up through the hull. I first drilled the holes, then put very small weights on fishing line and dropped them in through the holes, stood the kayak up so they would run all the way to the front, and then took off the weights and tied the fishing line to the bolts so that I could pull them to the back of the kayak and they would come up through the holes. It was a lot easier than it sounds! You can also modify the trolling motor mount so that you can remove the trolling motor when you want to just by pulling a pin. What’s funny is after I did this modification, somebody saw it and had to have it, and offered me more money than the kayak should have been worth! so I sold it and then turned around and bought a pedal drive kayak!

WOW, nice nugget hole. You can easily find more good nugget holes by learning the physics involved in dowsing with the modern light weight ball bearing dowsing rod, which are the same physics used in detecting with the electronic gold metal detector. Read the book: The Art of Dowsing - Separating Science from Superstition (14.95), by Michael Fercik. The book will teach you how to build and all the physics used in dowsing with the modern light weight ball bearing dowsing rod. It is the only dowsing rod that accurately gauges what is being dowsed by pitting the energy of gravity against the energizing of the pure one-tenth ounce dowsing rod load that is attached on the elevated acetylene welding rod, which free spins on ball bearings. This precisely gauges the dowsing of all edges, exact center, depth buried with angle of deposition, and most important is grading of the dowsed element that is contained in the elemental mass that is being dowsed. Anybody can become a professional dowser by practicing the book's dowsing lessons of buried pipelines and electrical cables, tunnels and voids, precious metal placer and lode deposits, dowsing for treasure, dowsing for any element, amplified long distance dowsing from a moving vehicle, and dowsing on water from a boat. We are starting a new dowsing training KZbin channel: Tracy & Michael"s Dowsing Adventure, which will explain the involved physics with dowsing demonstration on everything stated in this post, although our main emphasis will be dowsing precious metal placer and lode deposits because we are gold prospectors. I hope everyone is safe and healthy while having a good day.

@randystreasureadventures6 ай бұрын
I didn't notice any particular issues pinpointing with the small coil. Once you know where the hotspot is it's pretty easy. Now I do use a plastic scoop to help narrow down the target vs trying to precisely pinpoint in the pile of dirt. But I could confidently say that you do not need another detector to narrow down the target! Thanks for watching!

Hay mate, saying G'day from Western Australia 🇦🇺 I've hunted places and then left, gone back, and it looks different to what I remember. The only way I knew I was on the spot was my way point mark. The GPX6000 is a beast hay!!! I cal it the vacuum cleaner. Have you tried the GPX17 coil? It's awesome to hunt with, I just use the minelab 11" and 17" coils. Great video, and I hope the gold keeps coming for you.
@randystreasureadventures6 ай бұрын
I do have the 17 inch coil but I have not run it yet. That little nugget finder has come in really handy in some of the tighter areas that we have been searching for the last few trips. But I know the 17 is a screamer because my buddy used that one for a while and told me that I should try it. I want to use it next time searching for a new patch just because it will have much more coverage. You're definitely right about how things look different when you come back! I'm just like all those people you read about where you think you're just going to go right back to the spot but then when you get there you're not really sure. I used to think that was just a detail of treasure legends that just added to a good story. But it is the truth, it can be very difficult at times, especially after rains have come through! Thanks for watching and hopefully that 6000 will keep your gold poke full!

Nothing but trouble with the Axiom, at least 3 of us here in Australia have sent our machines back once or more. Faulty coils, faulty machines, poor ground balance, poor sensitivity, poor stability. Going to take a loss and throw it in the bin as I wouldn't feel right selling it to anyone.
