Popular Post normmcq Posted November 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2019 I recently detected an area close to some prospect holes, all of the usual finds, pieces of old tin cans, the broken end of a pick, shell casings, bullets, logging wire and finally a nugget. After finding the first nugget, I really slowed down and very carefully covered the area. The nuggets seemed to be in almost a straight line below a prospect hole. I thought I covered the line carefully, but returned for a second try and found one more piece, the one in the middle. Always detect around the rims of the holes and the adjacent areas. 25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Hemmingway Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Hi Norm… very attractive “character” nuggets, excellent recoveries. In his above post, Simon notes that an earlier detectorist certainly missed an opportunity. Fortunately your more thorough fieldcraft techniques did not allow that same opportunity to slip away. Thanks for the reminder to recheck our coil coverage, and always to scan around the rims of holes and adjacent areas as well. It pays to be thorough in all aspects of our fieldwork, to carefully examine all abandoned digsite areas, and identify all target signals. Congratulations Norm and thank you for sharing your adventure with us. I think that instructive, well-illustrated forum posts are a key element to attracting newcomers to the hobby, so kudos to you, and WTG!!! Jim. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyLundy Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Norm, Yep, you can’t pass up a Prospect Hole. Them Old Timers could follow a Pay-streak and some times to the source, but couldn’t find it all. WTG Rick 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
