schoolofhardNox Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I wish I lived close to that area. I would be in those hills wandering and detecting. Eventually I would stumble onto something😄 Great pictures! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garikfox Posted October 26, 2019 Author Share Posted October 26, 2019 Thanks again everyone 🙂 Oh i forgot to tell you all, my girlfriends GM1000 is fine. When she tumbled the shaft by the armrest unscrewed a few millimeters. So i just tightened it and all is well again. You guys are going to laugh (because i did), on the previous expedition when my girlfriend was attempting to use the GM1000, she was doing a new swinging technique i haven't seen before 🙂 just think of Karate Kid and Wax On, Wax Off. lol. What's even funnier is she found a hot rock with excitement thinking it was gold, she takes the dirty hot rock hands it to me and said its gold! I said no...it isn't gold, if it was that little rock would weigh ten times as much. So the GGM1000 is going strong again and I feel like an un-experienced teacher lol 🙂 P.S - GGM1000 = Girlfriends Goldmonster 1000. Next Expedition October 30th. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Goldman Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Bet she finds gold before you do, that's the way it usually happens. Lol. Newbies always find better stuff than I do when I let them borrow my detectors. Ha Ha. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afreakofnature Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Here’s a tip on these claims. Follow the drywashers. Going to where gold was dug before and you will find more that was left behind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I was out one day with another couple when we heard on one the CB in code, that my mate wife was broadcasting that she had one and then another and so on past a dozen nuggets. When we met up later, it was very hard to tell her that they were some extremely HOT hot-rocks. She had seen some of my iron covered nuggets before this. She should of known better as we had taken her to some spots were she had found a few nuggets and knew gold was heavy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garikfox Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 Hey everyone I have returned and it didn't go so well 😞. For some very weird reason i hurt my neck i think. i was stretching to begin the walk and than stretched my neck a little and i guess i did something and hurt my right neck muscle pretty bad. Feels like a pulled muscle but i never felt one like this before. And with that said I had to return home. I had about 1500ft more to walk to get too Genes Dream. The blue box is where i parked and the green line is how much i walked. The red box is the start of the claim. I took a few photos near the purple box. The area in the pictures is pretty much how you get to all of Map 5 claims. The temp was great it was 64F and slightly cold in the shade. Very nice indeed 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garikfox Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 Hello again everyone and Seasons Greetings! It's been pretty rainy here in AZ the past 6 weeks so I took the time to get the buggy ready for its first expedition. The buggy came stock so I had to add a windshield, hard roof and A-Arm guards. I'm really liking this Pioneer buggy! I'm amazed how smooth it handles on the dirt. 🙂 I took the Buggy out for it's first expedition on December 13th for a test run at a RRPC claim. I didn't prospect that day i was mainly learning the new camera and buggy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
