oldies1955 Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Went out with a friend yesterday to hit an old area. The main wash has been really good to us in the past but I wanted to concentrate on the upper tribs that fed it. My buddy went up one of the tribs and I went down....luck of the draw..I got 3, 2+ grammers and a small one. The first fat one was a reverse signal at first....so dig em all..........Decided to hop over to another trib that ive been up about 4 yrs ago and didnt get anything. It was a long one and I was fighting the urge to go somewhere else before going all the way to the top of this one. Well, I climbed, hiked, detected to the top of the mountain and about 20 yrds short of the top, I get a real nice 3.8 gram specie, and its rough. Great, now I have to go back up there and hunt the hill sides! Just a little over 1/3 oz. Tom H. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yah....that's the plan I had to meet Luke at a certain time at the bottom so I did not spend much time up there. But I did see that it was very minerized with trumpet plants, that are not seen much in the area. Looks juicy for detecting Tom H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
