Just found this forum, I have a scorpion gold stinger but have not had much luck with it. I understand that it can be complex to a newbie like me, I only have about 5-10 hours using it. Although I have not found much worthwhile metals or any gold with it my wife and I have had tons of fun in the wonderful BC outdoors with it. I do have some questions but I will take a few days to read over the info that is already here. I am 28 live in Cranbrook B.C. I'm a registered nurse and have tones of hobbies like prospecting/rock hounding, snowboarding, mountain biking RC aircraft and much more.
