Welcome to the forum , great area Bouse including Quartzsite well the whole area.

very interesting detector indeed,so far it sounds like it has the right stuff going for it.

brilliant

well done on you both

Here is why I like hillsides at times when the nuggets are scarce like today we were out hunting in a large wide flat bottom wash ,deep overburden but gold has been found there , lots of old workings in it left by the old timers that being said we have found just working the very edges of the hillsides where it drops into the washes will produce gold but I do like working the area around 10 to 20 feet above the wash  , I like looking for small benches and tiny little water cuts on the hillside. At this area my brother dug up a nice 5 gram nugget a couple days ago and today I managed to dig out a pair of nuggets that came in at 6.6 grams .
