Popular Post IdahoPeg Posted September 23, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2016 ......you guys left a few for me! :-) Was at Rye Patch and vicinity while the Nugget Shoot was going on; didn't participate in event, but met a lot of nice folks who were down for it and will next year for sure! Got some nice nuggets, several while wandering looking for new patches, but most at known areas.... that 7000 is an amazing machine! Unbelievable how it can still sniff out some gold in obviously pounded places! Here's some pics...had a great time: beauty of the high desert, comradarie of other prospectors who love the hobby as much as I, and the spiritual time of solitude....oh, and the AU! :-) 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevada Brian Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Great pictures Peg, I sure had a lot of fun hunting with you. You definitely have got that 7000 dialed in:) See ya in Ca. Brian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mn90403 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Great gold I'd say. More than I've found in several trips up there. Last year Lucky showed us some spots up there and I got a lesson on my 7000. Before that I've been up there with my 5000 but ... I'll be up there this time next week for about 3 days. I hope to hookup with someone that can put me in some still productive areas. I know it is 'everywhere' but also long stretches in between.

Mitchel Lucky wasn't there while I was, but you may run into him on your trip as Rye Patch is his stomping grounds. With the 7000, I did best looking for old PI dig holes and going over the old patch.....the 7 did amazing finding stuff the previous technologies missed. Of course, looking for new spots is what prospecting is all about....I found some scattered gold, but no big patches that hadn't been hunted before. Good luck on your trip!

LuckyLundy Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Peg, You've turned into a great detectorist! Your a sponge for knowledge in our hobby of finding nuggets and your poke is showing your efforts. Rudy and a couple of the crew are out there right now on our newest hot spot and making me wish I was on the hunt with them. I will be out there next week for several days and look forward to seeing you sometime this season, so you can give me a lesson! Until the next hunt LuckyLundy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdahoPeg Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 Thanks for the kudos guys, but Lucky, I don't think I'll ever be able to teach you much you don't know already! :-) Have fun next week! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jennifer Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I was wondering where those went when I dropped them there on my trip last month, glad to see a fellow female prospector found them... Great stuff Peg, ya did us proud. Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
