Admin nuggethunting Posted June 9, 2013 Admin Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Hello All, A partner and I took off Saturday afternoon to head to the high country. We arrived at the hunting location around 3pm and hit the ground around 3:30pm. We pushed it until 7:30pm and I managed to get two small nuggets. The amount of trash I had to dig to get these wasn't worth it, I think I'm deaf now. Screaming targets everywhere .... made it very difficult to even hunt the real shallow areas. The local mines and prospects in this area make it difficult to hunt with a detector, trash every other swing. Sunday we tried a new spot, miminal trash and no gold! Below is my take from Saturday's hunt -Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin nuggethunting Posted June 10, 2013 Author Admin Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Hey Guys, Thanks for the comments. Tom - 3pm wasn't too bad actually up there, thought it might be much hotter. CowKiller - What I didn't mention was the trash on display was only from about an hour. I cleaned the super magnet probably 3-4 times Saturday afternoon. The magnet would collect so much rubbish it wouldn't collect anymore, so I would have to clean it off and start again. If I just had a detector that could elliminate all the iron rubbish and pick up gold nuggets I would be in business at this location. Looking forward to the next hunt.

justindoober Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Well Rob you are way more dedicated than I. I hate digging tons of trash like that!!! But when you know there is color there it is worth it just can be a huge headache Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Ron Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 What kind of depth capabilities does the ML 3030 have? If it handles the minerals it might be a good choice for trashy areas? Cheers, Unc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brent in MT Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Was in Vegas over the weekend at 110, thought I would die let alone going swing. Got back to Montana and it was 74 and blue sky, now that is swinging weather.Brent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
