notoriouskelly Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 ya gube, and although they say "Go where gold's been found" I still have fun going where it hasn't.Maybe you'll be the first in a spot or find some other treasure.Good just to keep it fresh. After the coin hunt Saturday in Quartzsite I wandered over to the empty playground (wouldn't go if kids were there- just one of the conditions of my parole Shoulda used the GMT cuz the 5000 wouldn't go near metal without goin crazy, but I still cleared a cable clamp with rusty nails by the swings and a button battery.May even try some dry washing or panning again soon if I'm in the right spot.It's fun mixing things up- doesn't always have to be beepin for gold.
