alaskaseeker Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 A few years ago i was camped out near the cemetary at decisions corners . I put my brand new 3000 together and drove past the GPAA camp towards Yarnell. I was looking at a bench i had decided to hunt.. Walked up the hill and started to hunt that bench area, I made exactly 2 sweeps and i got that tell tale tone Wee ooop that i knew from then on it probably was gold.. Dug a little and out popped a nice piece of gold..Well i hunted the area hard after that but it was the only gold around... No complaints was very happy with that..... I was a little newer in that photo....lol 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flakmagnet Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I always worry when I find a piece first thing during a hunt for exactly that reason. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Ben Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Lol the other day I started at the head of a small but long wash. Within 5 ft picked up a nugget. Looked down the 50 yards of remaining wash, and thought "oh yeah, patch time" . Nothing else the rest of the way, or the day for that matter!! Lolol.
