oldies1955 Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 (edited) Had a really great 4 days back in the hills looking for gold. Met up with some great friends around Dewey/Humboldt area. There is a lot of gold in this spot but unfortunately.....none of us could seem to get our detectors over it??? Oh well. That is why its called prospecting and not picking up gold We had a blast. Thurs night the rain dumped on us. It got down to about 70F and we all just sat under our canopies soaking it in feeling sorry for the folks in the city. Pretty cool to see normally dry washes flowing. Next two days were kind of muggy though BLAH.... The hand stack in the pic was 3 feet high and about 20 ft long. Someone put a heck of a lot of work in that area..Ate a lot of good food, made new friends and reminisced a lot. The view was AWESOME from camp. Just had a really good time out of the PHX furnace.My cool find was a old shot gun shell base made from 1860-1930s Enjoy!!!!

woody746 Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Terrific photos, Tom. Looks like a very good time. 110 degrees in La Verne, CA this afternoon (35 miles east of downtown L.A.) We’re almost competing with PHX temps. Glad you enjoyed your trip. Mike W. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
