grubstake Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Well it was cold, only got up to 46 here today, but Shep and I had a hunt planned so he showed up at my house, about 8:30 am, and off we went, we were detecting about 2 hours, when I stoped and asked Shep if he had found anything, he said: Yes, and showed me a nice quartz specimen. I had not found anything yet, just the usual bullets and square nails, so I headed off, to the south end of this patch, hunting tailing piles, I got a good signal at the base of a Mansinita bush, and dug, and dug, it was about 8 inches down. I was useing the Wallaby DD. I got a really nice hunk. Here it is 8.2 DWT. Grubstake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iggy Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 grubstakeI found my first this morning at Rich Hill. The only problem is that my camera won't take a picture of something so small. But it was a first but now I'm ready for something a little larger. Iggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamikaze Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Way to go to the three of you! Alright Grubstake, that's a real beaut! I guess that kind of, sort of, maybe makes ya feel a bit better about the MIA equipment. Man, that's sure is a nice nugget...And Shep, I waited for ya as long as I could at the airport, but finally had to fly back home. I guess you had a good excuse, you were off digging another one for your poke. Another nice one! And congrats to Iggy, you'll always remember that first one! Good going!

eodseal2000 Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Hey Gary I can't get off the Wallaby DD.I have ran the Platypus for some time, but that Wallaby goes to town...the other day I found a small pocket knife over 2 1/2' deep. It is a great coil and have found it does not lie to you, keep the treshold down and listen.Great findAlan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
