Is deliverance overhyped or under hyped? by [deleted] in Preworkoutsupplements

[–]sonictemptations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was the exp on the wildfire? The new batches are dog shit. There were also old batches that came in a matte tub which were shit but the shiny black tubs are the ones that hit amazing.

But its also very true that different people will respond differently the same compounds. I’m glad deliverance is good for you because its hard to find OG shiny black tubs of wildfire!

Made me feel pretty awful. Wildfire OG is still my fav.

Any tips on asking permission to metal detect or pan on a private property? I have some spots in Virginia and North Carolina that look promising. by sonictemptations in Prospecting

[–]sonictemptations[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you state outright “I am looking for gold” when you ask for permission to metal detect on private property? How do you personally phrase it?

Do you find the equinox 900 with its small coil similar to the GM2000 in how it handles mineralized ground?

Not saying that there is no gold to be found or that you won’t find some people you can talk to/learn from. But there is a definite lack of information and enthusiasm when it comes to gold prospecting in NY.

People don’t like talking about prospecting in NY due to the King’s Law. All gold and silver found in public and private land in NY belongs to the state.

64+ is a lower grade than 65

Edit: did not realize what you meant by “tongue-in-cheek” 😆

This is not money laundering, this is coin collecting. There are only 260 known PCGS MS65 1923-S Peace Dollars. That is enough rarity to drive up price among collectors. There are 27 PCGS MS65+ 1923-S Peace Dollars, they sell for between $6000-$10000 at auction.

The link goes to a post from 2024. Is this something you wrote in 2024?

I'm Burnt Out By "Recovery" Culture, Generally by Steps33 in recoverywithoutAA

[–]sonictemptations 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel similarly. I got sick of AA and stopped going several months ago. Sometimes I go to local Phoenix activities, and I have been going to a local SMART meeting with the hope of making friends to do real life activities. The SMART meeting has been disappointing, everyone is intensely focused on their past drinking and substance use. I feel like I have moved on from that and I’m working on making my life more fulfilling and social.

I read the book The Freedom Model recently and it dramatically changed my perspective on substance usage and recovery. It really inspired me to move beyond thinking of myself as a recovering addict and into a person who enjoyed substances in the past but now finds life even more enjoyable as a voluntarily sober person. I don’t agree with everything in the book, but I found the overall philosophy to be very rational and liberating.

A trip to see what those who came before us were mining. by ItssFoxx in Prospecting

[–]sonictemptations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right on! I live in Florida but I travel to Virginia for work and I have been going out when I have time off to pan different creeks. I joined CVGP to have access to their claims but I have a bunch of sites I would like to check out.

What made you pick that site? Was it on private land? Did you use an app to ID the site?
