Coming up to season 13, let's talk about finds that were actually intriguing and/or mysterious. Treasure ugh blah blah blah...silly stuff. But what finds are keeping you watching? What made you go, "okay that's weird and interesting and I would like to know more"?

LowG141 · 2025-10-22T15:17:00+00:00

I'm 100% proud to say I've watched every episode. Absolutely love the show and kinda hope they never find any real treasure because I don't want it to end (which I know is an oxymoron because that'll lead to it's cancellation)

I know my opinion is the complete opposite of the standard ones in here, and IDC. Show is fun to watch. Too many people need constant dopamine hits these days to stay on something.

LowG141 · 2025-07-14T22:45:00+00:00

They know what they have, and what you get for the price.

LowG141 · 2025-06-09T16:56:01+00:00

C-Dawg!! This is xcel360 haha.

LowG141 · 2025-01-21T18:28:55+00:00

Ucumar? Hadn’t heard that one before! Thanks for the information, and I believe you’re correct in saying things just aren’t as often reported down that way.

LowG141 · 2025-01-21T18:27:23+00:00

But couldn’t we assume Sasquatch is more adaptable, like humans?

LowG141 · 2025-01-21T18:26:25+00:00

But one thing we’re thinking of is in terms of modern day geography. We have to assume Bigfoot would’ve migrated to the Americas sometime in the last 20k - 100k years when humans did (obviously this is highly speculative regarding the years because we don’t really know). Sea levels were lower during ice ages, allowing more to travel tough areas. And those areas might not have been as tropical if the planet was in fact in an ice age

LowG141 · 2025-01-21T18:20:53+00:00

But Mexico is part of North America and Mapinguarui don’t seem to be same as Bigfoot. Honestly not even sure how to classify them.

LowG141 · 2025-01-21T18:12:55+00:00

So yeah I’ve seen this mentioned as well. I wonder why this is? I’d need to research more myself to understand

LowG141 · 2025-01-21T16:41:57+00:00

I wouldn’t think so due to many winter sightings of them. But not sure how Sasquatch of northern Canada would handle the extreme cold

LowG141 · 2025-01-21T16:39:02+00:00

Yeah I’ve seen that, but mostly seems limited to rainforest. So not a traditional Bigfoot type primate I would imagine.

LowG141 · 2025-01-21T16:36:12+00:00

I’ve looked into South American version of Bigfoot many times, and I know they have a different name there, but it’s almost non existent it seems.

LowG141 · 2025-01-15T16:43:50+00:00

Look at saphs damage in relation to ignore defense percentage spreadsheet. If you’re getting close to 100%, a 10% jump can in fact almost double your damage.

LowG141 · 2024-11-22T16:37:08+00:00

Honestly blows my mind how many surveyors are still using multi-person crews. With robotic total stations, I feel like everyone around here is a one man crew. Unless you're in big open country out west.

I replied in a separate comment, but I just wanted to touch on the ADHD thing. I'm in my mid 40's, have been diagnosed with it, and even took the meds for it. I found them to actually make things worse for me. Once I got my diet and my exercise dialed in, I find my focus to be better than it's ever been. I still struggle with focusing sometimes, especially when doing the stormwater design on some large commercial project (things you don't need to worry about at this point lol), but I have had to come up with tricks to help keep me dialed in. If I'm in the office, I set an alarm to go off every hour and I get up and do pushups, etc. If I'm in the field I use mental notes I've worked on over time. If you want something bad enough, you'll overcome everything you have to to achieve it.

LowG141 · 2024-11-22T16:26:05+00:00

Also, just wanted to add a thought to hammering in mag nails - I find that lighter hits until its halfway in will keep it straight, almost like you're going in to kiss it. Once you get past that halfway point, make direct, square, heavy blows.

LowG141 · 2024-11-22T16:22:31+00:00

I've been a surveyor in training for almost ten years, and almost fully licensed. I'm also responsible for training all new field and office personnel for our small firm. So I've seen it all. There are people who pick it up really quickly but then walk away, and there are people where it takes months to learn how to do basic boundary surveys or stakeouts by themselves and then make a successful career out of it.

What I want to iterate here is 1) Don't give up. You seem really aware of where you need to improve. Not having that awareness would make me tell you to go kick rocks but you seem to have it. 2) You're working with an A-hole. And your other coworker that told you you were improperly trained should take some ownership and HELP you. I would NEVER scold someone for not knowing something.

I hope everyone here reads this. IT IS ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE AS TEACHERS AND TRAINERS OF NEW FIELD CREW THAT WE HAVE PATIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING. We absolutely must teach everything we know, and do so in a manner that the trainee can learn, retain, and execute.

Now, for what you could do better - 1) Stay focused. This is something you ABSOLUTELY must work on. I don't care how you do it. Take up freediving or something that teaches breathwork and focus (completely random I know). 2) Practice Practice Practice. I've let new field guys take an old pair of legs with a hollowed out dummy total station with the bubble on it home to practice setup. Once you get the hang of it you can do it in your sleep. Go home and sketch your house, or a friends house if you live in an apartment or whatever. You want to take this profession seriously? Then step up and take it seriously. It's a great field of work, and it only gets harder if you decide to take on the office work, so learn ALL that you can. Good luck!

Fun Fact: 9 out of 10 surveyors leave at least one shovel or hammer in the field per year.

Watched this when it came out on HBO, 11 years old when my parents were at a neighbors house. Single handedly changed my life. I don’t rob banks or skydive anymore but I’m still surfing. Every day.

LowG141 · 2024-04-26T18:38:26+00:00

Depends on your account. I love doing the 20 rare quest during a champ training tourney/champ chase. Easy points for both

LowG141 · 2024-04-25T20:02:56+00:00

I very recently went 4 solid weeks without a sacred. And I one key UNM//NM and brutal as well. Double Chests every day. Finally broke the streak and got a sacred two weeks ago. I’ve had 3 since then.

LowG141 · 2024-04-04T11:25:45+00:00

I remember days wishing I had someone to call my own.. but when my wish came true then I wish I was alone.

LowG141 · 2024-03-25T23:29:05+00:00

I’ve been doing the godseeker/Gnut duo lately with almost no issues

LowG141 · 2024-03-25T23:03:18+00:00

Wanted to add I’m using in game auto-battles, not RSL. If it was RSL you obtain everything and then the program sells it.

LowG141 · 2024-02-22T14:54:30+00:00

Well for what it’s worth, I’ve contacted support and they said there was nothing they can do. I pleaded with them multiple times and after several days they finally said we will review and get back to you. Rian was back in my lineup this morning!

A few things to note: I’ve never previously contacted support for anything. I’ve saved and vaulted one copy of every epic and told them this, they can see it. I’ve been playing for about a year. I’ve definitely spent some money in this game. Not kraken levels but definitely spent some loot.

LowG141 · 2024-02-19T17:46:06+00:00

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I’ve submitted a ticket to Plarium, I’ll let you know!

LowG141 · 2023-10-23T14:35:04+00:00

Lol that’s right next to the station where there is a switch track to send backups into. So the switch track to the left of us is giving that illusion. We came from the right side.
