    Closing Out The Season In Sunny Yuma

    “When I get up there I'm going to put one of those trackers on Lundy and plot his movements by satellite to find all those secret patches.”

    Steve, where ever you live at give me a shout!  I’m always out and need more coils on the ground to find them patches!

    Jason,  ground is Good!  High Yield/Normal is working fine with low sensitivity.  As it dries out more, back to my regular setting of 9.  Found a few dink’s on last trip, which I didn’t find any the week before.  So ground is shaping up nice!  But, chilly bring heavy fleece for morning chill.

    Rye Patch For Starters!

    The weather may have turned for the better in Northern Nevada.  It was time to get out and check how my GPZ 7000, would handle the moisture/salt from the Winter Storms.  I pulled into the Burn Barrel to camp, but it was like pulling into a KOA.  I unloaded my trusty RZR and hit the trail to find a nugget.  I ran into several folks out trying their luck, all had smiles on their faces and enjoying our outdoor hobby.  I was told that Gerry was having his training at the Burn Barrel which explained the crowd of RV’s.  I did get time for a short visit with Gerry and Lunk, before heading out.  The soil, is a little noisy with High Yield/Normal.  Using Difficult settled it down perfectly, but not my preferred setting for dink nuggets.  Anyways, I hunted in Normal and ground balanced often to give my ears a rest from the noisy ground.  I didn’t find any dink nuggets which are the Bread & Butter to any poke, but did find a couple of Steak & Lobster nuggets before loading up and heading home from the short Dirt Recon Trip.  There’s gold out there, you just need to get your coil over it, I need some Bread & Butter Nuggets to complete my meal.  Talking about meals, my Dog Marley refused to eat his normal dog grub on this trip, and only wanted what I brought “Fried Chicken”.  Until the next Hunt!

    A Short Season Gold Summary

    Yep, you have to meet your goals.  Having a Goal, keeps the engine running and the flame burning!  Each trip requires new unproven ground to be swung on.  If your goal is to find new spots/patches on a trip it may take a couple trips to put a pattern together to lead you to that new patch.  Swinging old spots/patches requires patience and great knowledge of your detector and recognition of tones!  It’s a great hobby and all of us are still students of it!
