Admin nuggethunting Posted June 7, 2013 Admin Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Hey Cowkiller, During this time of year, I always recommend prospecting with a partner. However, that is not always the case, so if you're going alone, make sure you bring plenty of liquids, wear lightweight clothing, sun screen and carry a cell phone if possible. I also recommend a 12v battery jump box, as I have came back to my vehicle several times during this time of the year and the battery was dead! Be safe and good luck!Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justindoober Posted June 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Just got home thanks for the replys! I took tons of h20 sweated and just bearly beat the skunk. got a little 1/4 gammer. Decided about noon I was hot and wore out so didn't do any drywashing. Yeah its always better to have a partner this time of year and the extra motivation usually keeps each of us in the field a little longer.Rob I never even thought about bringing a jump box that would be a good idea. much better than walking.

Admin nuggethunting Posted June 8, 2013 Admin Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Hey Cowkiller, Congrats on the new find. Like Shep mentioned, you deserve that nugget hunting in 110+ weather. P.S. Can you stop killing Cows! Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZNuggetBob Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 A lot of good advise here, I have to agree Rob on that back up battery, it seems like if my truck battery is old it fails in the summer time. The only thing I can think of to add here is especially if your hunting solo, tell someone were your going and when you expect to be back.

newriverblake Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Hey Cowkiller,Congrats on your nugget, I'm glad Buckeye Boy or myself didn't have to brave that heat to come look for you. P.S. how did you get your name, if memory serves me I remember something about 2 black cows, 2 prospecting trips, 2 wrecked trucks, O dark thirty all with in about a month. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justindoober Posted June 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Yeah Blake that just about sums it up..... One in kingman and the other on the road home from wickenburg both about 10pm. middle of december next middle of jan. 30 days later to be exact. Poor trucks and what a waste beef for two skunks of detecting!! On another note... you too would have loved to come find me. Give you guys something esle to poke fun at..

shep Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Cowkiller, for some reason, with your handle, thought I might know you. Believe, I met you at GB after your run'in by Kingman. Anyway, glad you're doing well!. Out hunting in this heat, do believe you might of had some head injuries not diagnoised by doctors ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justindoober Posted June 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Shep yes I think you are right about gb you were with Frank and a few others that trip??? HA doctors I stay as far from those people as I can so there might be some head injuries but I think its more gold fever than anything. Most people on this fourm can understand that.

Admin nuggethunting Posted June 9, 2013 Admin Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Hey Cowkiller, I braved this heat Saturday exploring the high country and managed to get two small ones. Today a partner and I explored some new country, dug trash and both got the skunks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shep Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Cow killer, yep that was me. Feel the same way about Docs, but might consider putting cows in the same category ;-)I know the gold fever! But heck, I don't even like working in this hot weather and I like my job! Good Luck out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justindoober Posted June 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 True story shep and thanks. good luck to you too.Rob the gold looks good! I think I dug juat about as much trash friday. Anyday behind a detector no matter how hot is better than a day at work! Skunk or gold still good to get out. And even better when its a new area.
