A Monster Day

[Steve in Idaho]

We went up to an old wash site on a shape ridge and I got a good reading on a rock out crop. I dug down and found a nice picker about two inches in the dirt and rock. I went over the hole and got another reading. Another picker. I kept doing this until got about 6" down. I got 9 pieces that weighs 3.9 gram. It was at the end of the day and my battery was down. I will go back another day and tear that top of the ridge apart. There will be more gold in that area. I am about to put my Gold Bug II away for a while, but never sell it.

Great find Steve, looks like you are really getting to know the Gold Monster...congrats on a fantastic day!

OK, I like the Gold Monster but I figured some die-hard Gold Bug 2 might feel differently. Nice to see it's not just me! Thanks for posting Steve. Nice sluggy stuff.

Ironically I got a brand new Gold Bug 2 not too long ago after going without for a couple years. I have yet to find a nugget with it however as I just keep grabbing the Gold Monster instead.

That gold monster is habit forming. I have found gold every time I take it out. That thing would go nuts at Ganes cr.

Nice job Steve, good to see that you're still finding the gold (nice nuggets)........ Let us know how the next trip goes.
