Sad that this is the attitude of a 'senior member' here, certainly does not reflect well for those titles given. I think anyone who tells someone to stop hunting or to stay away from sharing their individual opinion, because it may conflict with their own belief, is clearly very bitter and overcome by their own inner conflict.
I have worked with just about every pointer and analyser that can be found, and the thing they have in common is they are all convinced they are right.
There are only a few members here that I would recommend listening to, but they are a dying breed.
From basing my projects off only genuine evidence and historical fact that I can safely believe in, along with reliable equipment, is exactly how I got to the point of pulling skeletons out of a blasted cave portion with shattered ww2 plate fragments, only to have my men chased off the site by corrupt AFP just as we chiseled away at the final obstacle, until now it sits waiting....or when we dug under the old school building to find the hand carved pocket through the bedrock where the box had been sitting but taken out during a covert Japanese recovery project, years prior to our arrival...
At the end of the day I don't care if you want to believe what I say, I'm only speaking from my decade of experience working across the entire archipelago with people from all corners of the earth from all walks of life... Unlike a lot of the part time hunters who return to their day jobs, I have been fortunate enough to make my journey a full time effort.
I would also stay well away from FBIbooks TH groups, it is the toilet of the internet, a hive of know-it-alls and misinformation. I thought this group was the final frontier of good knowledge and stories, but it appears to have become corrupted by big egos who are determined to prove themselves right and others wrong.
Goodbye.
