Take From Last Trip To California (detecting & Sniping)


Recommended Posts


Nice job man! Are these Josh Reinke claims? Just curious, I heard he has good ones, and I know he has some on Slate, which I'm dying to get back to. Btw...in your junk photo, top right, looks like old powder tin...if it is, cool find that many relic hunters would love, don't toss it.

Was fortunate to get into some gold on my last trip to California. Started the trip sniping on the NF of the Yuba, one day on Slate Creek and ended with several days detecting in the northern Mojave desert.

 

Thanks for looking

Excellent, great going there, congrats! 👍

Those are some nice chunky digs my friend.  Your hard work and efforts have rewarded you with a collection of Au nuggets and even bigger of the man made trash type.  Be sure to haul that stuff out so I don't have to find it next time.  Thatks for sharing your Success pics.

You know where to find it!

Well done.  How long was the trip?

Thanks MN....I was out for a month but didn't hunt all the time. Had great weather the whole trip which was really awesome.

North Yuba is awesome, but mostly claimed up. Did you find a public area to snipe?

Like everywhere now these days, almost everything with any resemblance of access is claimed up.....With that said; I found a few areas that were still open with a little research.

Nice display of your WORK and a good total of  gold. Your last photo shows the amount of WORK that had to be done well done.

Thanks Geof!... The trash pic is missing 150 - 200 smaller bits of unidentifiable bits of iron that I threw away..... Bad thing is I consider the area I was hunting to be rather clean. 😅

Looks like a very good trip with a lot of work to find it. I'm sure that it was fun when you pulled each piece out of the ground.

Good luck on your next hunt and stay safe out there.

Thanks Valens.... And it was....My first 2 targets in the desert where each .5 gram nuggets.... Cant say thats ever happened before for me
