oldies1955 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Hey all: Welp, went out yesterday solo. Dads recovering from 3 days of cooking and baking Hit a old area and explored some new ones. The geology in the new ones looks really good for nuggets.Will be detecting those areas in the next few weeks. Well after digging/scraping and moving 385 hot rocks, I managed to get a little yellow Anyone know what kind of gourds these are?Great day out, fantastic weather and the good Lord blessed me with a little yellow!Tom H.

azblackbird Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Congrats on the gold. Looks like coyote melons in your photo. Make great targets especially with hollow points. Supposedly the seeds are edible but I've never bothered to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgh Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Nice!!! A full belly and a double gold score!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roo Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Good to find gold any size I reckon. We have melons like that here in places too. I once was stupid enough to think "wow, mini water melons, cool" so I tried one. Bitter as, glad I didn't swallow any. I don't think even any of our wildlife are stupid enough to eat them, never seen one with a bite mark in it. Except for the one I tried.
