FORS CoRe Finds Lead

[indianbullet]

Well trying to teach myself a thing or 2 about my new machine. I went into a creek bed near my home in Redding that had just a small amount of water flowing in it. I discovered someone must have shot lots of quail in the area back in the day.

As every little pocket I would detect had a pinch of about #8 shot in it. Not to mention a few split shot in every other bedrock pocket. Also lots of hot rocks in there as well.

So I know if this baby finds that, it will find the yellow stuff.

If I can just get on the right spot of earth.

Think I'll try it in the Sierra Mts tomorrow in hopefully a little less trashy area.

The CoRe is an excellent prospecting detector, just need to get it in the right place. Good luck!

  IB Just keep tabs on the daily spot price for lead. If you can find lead your soon to find gold.

^^^^ I agree, Just found trash yesterday and some extremely hot soil that caused it to overload, not to mention lots of hot rocks. Still trying to learn my way around everything which is fun in itself.

 

The soil I dug out to pan at home but nothing in it so far. Chunks of it wanted to stick to my magnet so maybe some iron ore or something? Kind of yellow gold in color.

I certainly don't know my soil well.

Be sure to check those bedrock cracks very carefully. Where the iron and lead collect is also where the gold will fall out...a straw to blow through will make that easier; assuming it is dry.
