My 3 Days In Arizona

Yes, there is gold out there for me if I get to the right places.  The coil has performed well in my book.  I have no problems with it.

As I 'reflect' on this trip again I didn't stick with my plan.  I hunted one spot for about 2 hours and also tried new spots for about 4 hours and then meteorites but too much time was spent exploring (driving).  That is what I would do differently if I had the trip to do over again.

Day trips are my real future for a while.

I should add that I was with someone and we enjoyed the exploring for reasons of future hunts.  You have to get off the beaten path once in a while also.

Sounds like a successful trip Mitchel.... thanks for the post. If you or anyone else has found small iron like meteorites in Gold Basin, that look and act just like a Franconia iron, do not toss them, thinking this is not a typical Gold Basin Meteorite, as they are a pretty rare type of stony iron meteorite called a Mesosiderite. Myself and others have been finding them over the years, and mapping them. They scream on the detector, and snap to a magnet just like a Franconia Iron. Jim Kriegh, the founder of Gold Basin meteorites found and classified the first one in Gold Basin, as you can see from the metbul.
