Beat the potential skunk Brian was dealing with on his previous post too, but one hour earlier!? Was slipping and sliding on a steep slope all day, but nothing but square nails and a bit of lead.....then at about 3, as I was making my way back up, I got another target. Moved some rocks and dug, figuring it's going to be my Zillionth square nail....so I looked up to the sky, sweat stinging my eyes, and asked the Gold God for just a baby piece of CA gold to start my nugget-hunting vacation with. And Holy Crap! This beautiful rough CA slug plops into my hand! Biggest I ever found! So said my thanks and called it a day(after checking my hole for possible little brothers, of course! lol)

Wow...that's a beauty! Way to hang in there to beat the skunk!?

Came across his videos a few months ago....can't help but love the guy! (Good thing I was in the Navy, and my dad was a construction worker....get a hoot out of his colorful language!?)

Old Diggings With New Technology
IdahoPeg replied to LuckyLundy's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Nice detecting! -
Those are unusual for Rye Patch....nice hunting!
-
Way to find the gold! Nice! :-)
-
Wow...those did turn out beautiful! Nice job.
-
You're right...I'll have to find someone who could make one for me. Be nice to wear a beautiful nugget like that, rather than having it sit on a shelf in a vial!

First off, I'm not too adept at posting/computer stuff, so hopefully won't botch this up! Trying to post some pics from my prospecting trip! Had a great time exploring more out of the way areas of GB... the quad is a must! Camped on Mike and Jerry's property off Greggs Hideo In spite of some rainy days, my hunting partner Jim and I were able to get out and find some gold! Here's my total for the trip: Close up of my "Personal Best" so far, a nice 6.8 grammer....this was found in a remote narrow wash about 8" deep....gave a strong reverse signal

GPZ Low-high Signals And High Yield Vs General
IdahoPeg replied to jasong's topic in Minelab Metal Detectors
I had my 1st "low-high" signal on gold last week in Gold Basin; it was a solid 6.8g nugget at about 8" in a narrow wash. Was on High Yield, Difficult...sensitivity 18 and used low Audio Smoothing. Thought it was going to be junk, but did Happy Dance when saw it! I'm on way home to Idaho now and will post pics of the AU when I get home...had a great trip! -
Wow! You two are gold magnets! :-)
