Glenn Posted November 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Thanks, I can't believe I hit them with an old 2200d that I am using while waiting for more 4500 to be repaired, I have been over that area at least 20 times with several different coils and I hit them today with a machine that sounded like a bunch of cackling hens, I could not get it to smoothen out, maybe that slowed me down and made me listen a little closer, who knows, maybe the lord was looking down and decided to throw me a bone for perseverance, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azblackbird Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Fricking awesome! You're living proof it's not the machine... just the operator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldstudmuffin Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Hi Glenn,Wow, when you first saw that on the coil I bet you said come to papa... Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted November 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Thanks, I knew after about 30 minutes of trying to widen and deepen the whole that my chances of it being yellow were getting pretty good, especially after I got into the bedrock cracks and they were filled with that hard red clay, but I didn't expect that big, I was hoping for 1/4 ounce maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin nuggethunting Posted November 29, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Hey Glenn, It's amazing how many that place has produced over the years. I worked just one section of the lower part when I first got the SDC and pulled a quick 20 out for like 8-9 Grams. It was still warm, so I was burned out of digging. I returned once for about an hour with a friend and pulled 6 out within 30 minutes for another 3 Grams. You and Bill both hit some big ones at depth. Makes you wonder after the next huge storm what could turn up. Congrats once again on your finds. I'm off in the morning with a customer that purchased a GPX 5000, SDC 2300 and a CTX 3030. I'm going to show him around out West for the day, so I'm hoping we can snag a nugget or two off of some old ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
