Its funny until it happens to you then it is not so funny anymore, just like my son I wanted to laugh but held it back and then wanted to cry because it was my son, that's just the Dad in me and wanting to do everything I can to protect my own

Those spines can work their way through flesh and muscle like porcupine quills do, really bad for dogs and wildlife that get into it.

So I had a good day today in my area where that Cholla got me. I've pulled 6 nuggets from here now and this one is the best one so far. A video of it will be done perhaps tomorrow. I have a Gold Seeker Adventures store front up with shirts sweatshirts, mugs and a bunch of other gear with the Gold Seeker Adventures logos. Also got some slogan shirts for detecting that will be available soon. Go to my description on my next video or the video of beware the cholla to check it out. Now this nugget I got today was 13.6" down. I used the 11" coil and was hunting in Auto 2. Even at 13.6" down it was loud.

No. This one was in the open. Half way up the side slope of a wash. Not hitting anything down in the washes. The nuggets are only being hit on, on the slopes.

Today was an amazing day. I only hunted for about 2.5-3 hrs. I got one nail, second target I never retrieved, but I think it was a chunk of a square nail. Third target was my nugget. It came out of the ground encased in caliche and weighed 23 grams. It is still sitting in muriatic acid, and is down to 14.88 grams. It is getting close. Should end up with at least 12-14 gram nugget.
