Uncle Ron Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Yo, All ... I think only Billy and I know about this patch, at least by this name, but an a old, departed friend turned us on to it and it has produced some very nice nuggets, up to a half ounce for me and I'm not sure what for Billy ... Anyhow, I made a late run today to the LSD and hiked a couple ridges to get in ... Quite a bit of wire and rust bits but the ML4500 seems to ID them pretty well, even with a mono on ... (NF 14 Mono, original fibreglas) ... Low/High... My first not Low/High was this cool little half grammer ... It was down about 6" and made a nice mellow sound, unlike the trash I found before and after ... If it weren't for the fact that big deep nuggets make the Low/High sometimes, I'd quit digging those targets, but, as everyone says, if it beeps dig it and if you don't I guarantee you'll pass over some gold ... Anyhow, heres a couple pix ... I though I did a short video, but, as usual, operator error prevailed ... Fun day at the LSD! ... Cheers, Yer Unc in the Dubyah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roo Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Dig em all Ron! I have had signals that were just tiny blips, rising tone. Swore they were shotgun pellets just under the dirt. But I have dug those tiny blips down to a foot and got nuggets up to 7 grams! The odd good bit can give a rising tone, though most give a dropping one. One bit, a 6g one, gave the blip and kept giving it till I had dug out around 6 inches or dirt and clay. It does not happen all the time, only very very occasionally but it happens. Weird though huh how some little bits can give a drop tone at times. That's why I dig em all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relichunter2 Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Congrats on your persistence...I never get tired of reading and being reminded to dig them all. That's the best advice to any detectorist or nugget-hunter. Nice nugget.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkirkll Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Sometimes i get tired out there and (after digging 10 million pieces of trash)----Sometimes i catch myself when i hear a ANOTHER low /high--- and i decide to skip it... ... i usually walk about 10 feet and turn around -----kicking myself the whole way back ......of course it IS USUALLY trash,... but i just tell myself,,if you are too tired to dig......you may as well go to the house.....(and I have done that)I dont want to get in the habit of thinking it is ok just to look for the sweet sounding sitting ducks all the time------ i have been taught by some good detectorists that gold wont always sound sweet.....SO WE DIG...DIG... DIG.....Thats what i go out for,, to dig! ----Gold is just an unpleasant by product ....... Happy Thanksgiving! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
