silver dog doug Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 My Grandsons came to detect with Granddad. We went out at 6 am, and by daybreak we were beeping. I really thought that it would be a short day, And was I wrong. They worked hard all day and never complained once. By the end of day they had 8 nuggets(with the help of the old man). After getting back home, all they talked about was Gold. They want to get a detector when they return to Ca.. I told them to look into a Makro Gold Racer. I think that I have created a couple of monsters, only kidding, they are great young Men. Just thought that I would share. Merry Christmas, Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortuga Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 You must have been on a nice patch if beginners were popping nuggets. Not easy to do in Arizona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

way2cool Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Nice story Doug. Congrats on the gold with your grandsons, that's the real gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver dog doug Posted December 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Tortuga, it was a nice patch, but all the surface gold is gone, now you have to dig and rake to find it. They were taking nuggets off this patch over 10 years ago. Here is a little better picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver dog doug Posted December 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 One of my Grandsons Emailed me at 2:30 am. This am, to talk about the Makro and the 5 frequency settings. I really think that they have Gold fever. Ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredm Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 wonderful memories for you and them. You should haul them down to Oz for the ultimate thrill!merry Christmasfred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver dog doug Posted December 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Fred, I would love to take them to Oz for a Month, but I one is going to College after getting out of the Air Force, and the other one has to work. Last but not least, Grand dad doesn't, have the money. May be they will settle for a weekend at 29 Palms at the claim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
