My book was written to benefit gold hunters everwhere around the world. Here is a review from Australia. I have things in my book you won't find in any other book, such as The Townes Theory. Also I don't know anyone else talking about learning the characterizations of Mass Wasting either. From The U.S.A., Australia, Africa, Turkey, etc.... My book will apply.

Damn! I hope so! Im kinda feeling cursed. 😜 🤣

Me and a claim partner were at our claim today. I got 3 small pieces and Jamie got his first big nugget. I am the last one of the four of us, still waiting to hit on one. It is just a matter of time and alot of digging.

Rob, from top of old tailings all the way down and past native material and into the bedrock. Working a second claim as well. These 29 pieces came from 3 days of detecting. Some areas I am just walking and detecting.

Got another 5 yesterday.

Got 9 today. On another claim I got exclusive permission to hunt.

Getting the gold of all sizes is the bottom line! The one that gets the gold gets my money.

So Steve, I am a skeptic of Garretts gold machines being able to hit on gold as tiny as what Minelab's can hit on and as deep as Minelab's can reach the gold. Years ago I used to be a Garrett fan but their so called technology advancements have seemed to me at least to be little more than a shell make-over. I also have seen first hand the electronic components seem low end and cheap compared to Minelab, such as the wiring on the coils. Every Garrett I have owned started falsing and developing cracks in the coil wiring exposing the copper wires. Have they upgraded the electronic components on the Axiom? For roughly $4000 I certainly hope so. I had bought the Infinitum L/S many years ago and was pissed when I got it in the mail and it was visibly cheap. Every time you swung the coil the lower shaft would slop back and forth because they didn't seem to see the need for a twist lock knob between the lower and upper shaft. After that it started falsing constantly before a year was up. Then the atx came out and it was essentially the Infinium in a new shell. The cord coming out of the control box on the Axiom as far out as it does I think will eventually become a problem getting caught on all kinds of stuff and weakening the coil plug housing. Can it hit on gold as tiny as the 6000 or 7000 can and as deep

Geof_junk, I have done that before as well. I have also used a small board or Plexi glass, but with this claim we need to be mindful of backfilling. I got a lot to do regarding this. I am detecting on fairly flat rotten bedrock and keeping amount to detect between digging small to keep as many nuggets coming as possible and to backfill as I progress with very little added work. Two birds with one stone.

Got 7 today. Flies weren't too bad. 1.3 grams. Big one is .9 g. The tiniest one is amazingly small- good signal though.

Gold Seeker, no there is no fines. It is all nuggets.

So far in roughly a month of detecting at my claim I have 23.2 grams of gold. If today is another good day, I should get the few grams for an ounce.

It is a dry gulch. The old timers had to transport the dirt and gravels in wagons down to the bottom of our gulch where there is a spring, to process.

Jasong, To the side of my hole is where the old timers dug and got their gold. They pile the tailings in long windrows where my hole is, in the side of the piles. There is bedrock under where they piled the tailings that has gold all through it. There is also still alot of gold in the piles as well. The old timers missed alot. Good for me and my claim buddies. My hands completely and totally hurt. But I will keep at it despite the pain. Gotta get that gold.

My buddy Chuck pulled a 2.3 grammer out of his hole today. There has gotta be a bigger one lurking near my hole. Tomorrow is a new day.

Had a good day today lost track of how many nuggets I found. That's always a good thing, I suppose. 5.1 g. New hole is paying off.

I got 1 piece of gold in that hole. Not good enough to stay in it. I moved below where my buddy is digging and started a new hole. Got three right off the bat. I'll get pics tomorrow after tomorrows tally of gold.

Got 3 today. Damn hot out! Flies are horrible.

Got these pieces today, in my drying up patch. There are high winds here today and I felt it was safer to be more in the open than next to trees that are compromised due to no regolith to keep them in place. Yah that figures about ghost miner. I knew there was something I did not like about that guy. He sounded like a snake oil salesmen preying on gold hunters. I guess my gut feeling was correct. Everything I talk about is facts not B_llSh_t! The larger one is .64 g

Dig4gold- Jed? Who? Do you mean Jed Clampit from Beverly hillbillies? rvpopeye- I am sorry this reminds you of ghost miner. I don't fancy being compared to him and his threads. I see him as a claim broker trying to drum up interested suckers to buy claims. Me, I am just trying to work my own claim that still has really good gold. The problem is beetlekill and forest service. Equipment can make this digging and testing the ground way faster as y'all know and I would much rather do that. This digging deep and big holes is for badger, not this old boy!😆

Jasong, we are not going to try this year. That is disappointing to me but the equipment belongs to two of the other three claim holders. If we do that we are opening a very nasty Pandora's box. Including only being allowed up there to work ten days out of the year, from what I have been told. It beats this digging by hand though. 😜

Well today was another long day digging and detecting every 6". No gold. 3 targets that turned out to be slivers off of my pick. Definitely no mistaking a target with the 6000. I am starting to have my doubts about this line we are digging. I think the gold on the edge where my buddy stopped pinched out for some reason. I have to keep digging though till the bedrock is exposed over the whole area I am digging down and layering. I may go back to my old spot and layer down. I know there are more nuggets there but I seriously doubt there will be any nuggets over a gram there. I have to see this hole through to the end, even if it holds no gold. If that happens then at least I have data to apply to other future holes, if I start seeing certain features.

Jasong, Valens Legacy, It is the gut of the gulch. The old timers were working the gut and working up the gulch and they never worked the ground to the emediate side of their trench because they were putting their overburden there. They were sloppy at working the gold. There is gold all along this side. The pay streak was wider than they were working. My buddy pulled over 41 grams out of this line to the side in two weeks. I am starting from the top end of where they visibly stopped and working back towards his trench. Bedrock at his trench where he left off is only 3ft down. The stretch between where he left off and my pit should have more good gold. Gold nuggets up to 6 oz have come off of my claim in recent years.
