Popular Post Lunk Posted November 30, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2016 With the winter months upon us, it's time once again for fun in the desert sun.? I spent a few days in northern Nevada en route to the big Q and managed to collect a half an ounce of golden goodies from old nugget patches with the trusty Zed. Where the damp alkali soil became too noisy for High Yield / Normal, selecting Extra Deep / Normal did the trick. At other locations, iron mineralization was the culprit and the High Yield / Difficult combo was the answer. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
