Half Day Gold Hunt With A Free Pet

[DolanDave]

Got a text yesterday from my buddy Chris, who said dude, get your , and lets get out there !!!! ( Well something like that , hehe !!! ) . I told him I can only hunt a half day, even though today was just a great day for a full day of hunting today, darn it !!!!  Ended up finding almost 10 grams today.. :) . The large piece was a little more than a foot down, and just made a break in the threshold, I kicked some dirt out of the way, and it made the nice mellow weewoo sound, and I was like . Some digging in the side of a wash a little more than a foot down, and got a .....  maybe a foot away I found another small nugget right on top of the ground, and found another small piece in another wash.

  I also brought home a new pet,  and the good ol U.S. deserts give them away for free, as you can see in the picture, he is enjoying his new home....  I have been bringing baby dinosaurs home in the backyard for years, but they never grow up  , they just make babies in my back yard and eat the spiders...

Thanks Walker Lunk Chris....

  Lunk..... I found a great technique, if you slam your detector coil on them, it knocks them out.... I dont bring home the smashed ones
