Mitch, What a Family Trip. It’s one for the books and the Boys will remember for a Lifetime! Safe Journey Rick

Here’s one of my Buddies Poke from a Hunt at Rye Patch. I’ve only found like 3 Nuggets with Quartz attached to them out there. But, he found a little Nugget with a Quartz Crystal attached…I think he still has it? Rick

Arky, Snowed pretty good last night at my House…this current system should move out and bring some nice weather next week.

Arky, always good to see you and your Wife enjoying our Hobby. That old spot I last seen you gave me my 5th nugget for my last day hunt…there’s more to many Bushes. You to travel safe. Dig It, ground is damp and just might be more Spring rains out there this Saturday. But, looks great again after that…you going to be there for a few Weeks? Rick

Another great Winter for Northern Nevada and of course it’s still giving this Spring! This is my second trip between Weather Systems this Spring. I decided to keep it simple and hit some sweet spots of old patches with my 6000 with the aide of the little Coiltek Coil. The Hills was alive with fellow Prospectors, we all shot the breeze and caught up on each others life’s. My first 1/2 day, I scored 5 nuggets and was somewhat content. The next full day, I struggled for the next 5 nuggets before heading back to camp. What a workout! I left with many old spots yet to have my detector combo swing on them and one spot I can’t find 🙁. Well maybe next time on another Hunt! There’s plenty of space for everyone at the Rye Patch Gym. LuckyLundy

Arky, Main Road is great recently graded with unlimited speed to get to them nuggets…ground needs a couple days to dry for them iffy signals. Rick

Wow! Can’t wait to order 👍🇺🇸

Doc “The Documentor” that group above outfitted the Western States Metal Detectorist! May the 3 Wiseman continue their success in Life and Adventure. Rick

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting countless fellow prospectors on my journeys! It’s always about the Hunt, Friendship & Camaraderie…Oh, and a new Patch that keep the Gold Fever alive. Back in 1979 in Arizona, I had an old timer give me a Pointy Finger to a spot on Lynx Creek, it put a smile on a 19 year old Green Horns face. I’m still repaying that Pointy Finger forward…it may not be the best spot, but I’ll guarantee there’s nuggets to find, that will put a smile on your face! Doc’s Photos above was a great hunt! I was digging through my photos looking for the Poke Pictures and couldn’t find them, must be in the I-Cloud or lost in the 2 ft of snow in my front yard 😂. But, I did find a couple photos of important prospecting gear of his a Hat and Gold Poke. Until the Next Hunt! Rick

Doc, I remember that Outing! And that spot still gives up the nuggets. You’ve been a great Friend throughout the many years. I always have a few secret spots to share the thrill of the hunt! Rick & Robin

Big or little…they all go in the Poke! Now, I have left tiny targets that I can’t fish out knowing that it’s Gold to find the next. The GB2 is an amazing VLF and Robin and I have been more than fortunate to have found a few places that you can sit down and just toss your scoop full of multi targets into a 5 Gallon Bucket to pan out later! Here is a photo of my GPX 4000 vs Robin using a GB2 for 2 1/2 days. Them little nuggets are important they fill in the spots between the big nuggets in your poke! Love them all Big or Small. LuckyLundy

Congratulations! 🎊 New Wear House looks like a Store Front. Is that new Lift 4x4? I know a few vertical hydro pit walls I’d like to introduce it to! Rick

Great Tale! Yet, I’m thinking I know that town.

Doc’s Gadgets and Inventions are unparalleled in our Hobby! His genius has to keep him up at night and I’m sure he has Pen and Paper on his Nightstand to jot his foresight down. I’m happy Doc caught the incurable Gold Bug, I wouldn’t care much for living on Mars! 😂🇺🇸 LuckyLundy

Steve, The best video content would be on the type of ground your Audience would swing for Nuggets on. As we know, different Countries face Metal Detecting Obstacles that another Country affects aren’t as severe. Australia Metal Detector settings differ from American Goldfield settings. What’s the best settings Nenad or Jonathan use in Australia soils are not optimal on my Nugget Grounds. I watch a lot the Prospecting videos on YouTube they beat re-runs of I Love Lucy!

Score! WTG Rick

What a trip! I like that big Gold Ring 😛 Rick

WTG! Loaded up on the loot. Your right that 10x5 is a fantastic gold getter, it’s stuck on my 6000. Rick

I have a handful of them and use it on every detector I own, including the Monster after a couple hours swing it. Rick

My Buddy LuckyLarry’s little 9x5 coil has been on Fire, since the No-Where Patch Story! We both swing this little guy on our 6000’s. It’s very sensitive and has fair depth, for Northern Nevada’s shallow placers. But, in open Country it’s like Paddling your Life Boat in the middle of the Ocean. This hunt we started hitting the old Horse Dung Ridge Patch. It’s a Mile long Ridge that I never swung the entire length only stopping at its first patch. Larry, has some legs I’m about to the end of Horse Dung Ridge I pulled my second nugget about 10 ft apart. I turned to signal Larry of the fast two nuggets and head my way. He wasn’t on the ridge hunting the left side as I last seen him. I dug up 4 more nuggets very fast and looked for him again. I just caught a glimpse of him swinging over another Ridge way out of voice range! Back to digging nuggets and it seems like the next thing I know someone’s voice scares the hell out of me. It’s Larry with a big smile on his face. He said, looks like you found a patch as I settled down from the scare of being lost mind and tuned into my detectors sound for the next nugget. Larry, said he thinks he found a patch too and produced some very nice Quartz with ample showing of Gold. We walked back to my Buggy leaving my little patch to hunt the newly named Big Specimen Nugget Patch! Upon arrival he showed me the shallow hole that all the pieces came out of and we set off grinding the area. We swung that Ridge for 1 1/2 days with little joy! We know and inch is a Mile in this Hobby and haven’t giving up on this depleted Quartz Vein. Larry’s Specific Gravity weigh in for these 3 pieces was over 45 dwts. Mine on the left received and honorable mention 😂 But, when Two Lucky’s are on the hunt, finding that Needle in the Haystack is possible! Until the Next Hunt LuckyLundy

WTG! Rick

😋 WTG, Rick

Steve, I’m thinking they have a Metal Detecting Video Game…it might just show up under your Christmas Tree this year 😂. I’m sure you earned a couple Nuggets being the Camp Cook. All kidding aside Speedy recovery. See ya soon! Rick

Gerry, Great hunt and a great examples of the different Nugget types of the Regional Placers. This season I haven’t seen very many prospectors in the field. The Gold is still out there, besides knowing a few clues it boils down to getting your Coil over that Nugget. LuckyLundy

Lunk, WTG! That 19” is like swinging a Boat Anchor after a few hours of use. But, my GPZ still earns its time on deeper nuggets that my GPX 6000 can’t hear. Rick
