nvradar Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Well guys I spent a couple days out in N. Cal. with my pet skunk still on his leash with me. I really want to turn him loose!!! Any thoughts on where I should be swinging my Minelab here? I went all over the place and maybe a couple places I shouldn't have(dangerous) with no luck. I did find a few tiny pieces of copper wire at 6-8 inches so I know the SD is working fine. I know they didn't get it all. NVRADAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azoverland Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Wow! - looks cool, clear and refreshing up there. I was I had a place to hunt like that, somewhere that's not 100+ degrees and drier then a hundred year old bone. Give it time and find every target. The last nugget I found was in someone else's bootscrap, it moved when I scrapped it too so I almost walked away....but I didn't and ended up with a little nugget almost a gram....you never know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trinityau Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Hey nvradar, Those pictures could be almost anywhere in NC but they sure look familiar. In those areas I would use a VLF and search, search, search those nice white rocks. I was in an area many years ago and was lucky enough to find a quartz boulder, almost a ton, that had unbelievable amounts of gold in it. The bigger rock had to be broke down to where I had three pieces of quartz that were the size of half a basketball. Those three pieces turned out to have pounds and pounds of gold inside. I was using the old whites VSat Goldmaster. This was not a oddball finding as many more "rocks" had been found before and after mine. One that I was able to actually see myself was the size of a volleyball and had almost twentyone pounds of gold in it after it had been sliced. Another one had seven pounds. There have been many other rocks found with as little as a few pennyweights to multi ounces in them. Its a little different hunting but wow, what a rush if you are able to find a nice rock. If you want to send me a PM with a phone number and we can talk about some of the locations I am talking about. TRINITYAU/RAYMILLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nvradar Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I do like the big green trees and cool mountains quite a difference from Nevada. I did speak to Ray and YES he was VERY knowledgeable, thanks again Ray. I think this ol desert has grown on me though. Care to take a dip in this? I don't think it would be a wise thing to try and walk across this snow bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really gross. It was below that hole I found yesterday.Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Dorado Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Another thing to look for in those areas is where they did not completely wash all the gravels away. Hard to find but can be very productive. As one of my mentors says, look for their mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also tried to imagine where the long tom entrance was, thinking some gold could have hidden underneath but that was impossible. Most all of these pits have very high walls with alot of small pea size gravel left behind....any possibility in that small size gravel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
