That’s great Robin got a gold fix, and a quick getaway to the high desert! Re your no-scoop retrieval, I’d crap if a scorpion(or any creepy-crawly) were there when I opened my hand!😄

That’s odd they’d take a detector up there.

For the record, I've got a 2300 that I rarely use. I would probably find more gold if I did use it.

Same here! I drag it along on trips Incase my 7000 craps out. And I have used it in extremely rugged terrain where the 7000 is a pain. Also had luck w 2300 on drywasher piles/dig piles getting small pickers. Toyed w the thought of selling mine recently, but for all these reasons decided to hang on to it!

I keep waiting for Chet's report. Did I miss it?
I get to be the designated report writer on our outings lol. He used one of his smaller Russian coils which I think picked up targets better than my stock. Though Chet had some skunk days, he ended up with some nice gold too! Chet, chime in, if anything to add!🙂

Beautiful gold Peg. The really flat one with chevron edges is amazing. I noticed you also scored a couple with quite a bit of silver. Were they from the same place as the others or different? Lundy has spent the time out there to learn some areas, so always be on a lookout for him. He's usually quite friendly anyway and his skills are better than most, so not many people is he worried about.
Your drink of choice is not my cup of tea, so next time I'm down and or see you, I'll be sure to BMOB.
12 grams is fabulous.
Thanks for sharing.
Hi Gerry! The big flat one is Lucky Lundy’s....mine were the 7 on top and his were the 7 on bottom of the bottle. And NO WAY do I drink whiskey lol, that was his too! Those days are long gone for me....I’m more a merlot or Pinot noir kind of gal after dinner😄 Hunted 4 or 5 different locations so the gold would have some differences.

Just got back from 8+ days in the high desert....the weather was perfect and the quiet, wide open spaces were soul rejuvenating.
Met up with Chet and Brian....we were working on a skunk our first day when Lucky Lundy texted Brian, so we went and joined him on a hunt. And true to his name, his luck rubbed off on all of us...by late afternoon we all had some gold. By the next day, Rick and I both had Lucky 7s lol....
Unfortunately, his favorite beverage was gone and all I had to offer Lucky Lundy was my homemade lentil soup or organic tofu/veggie stir fry, so he left us for “meatier” digs 😄
Detected new and old spots and I found gold each day....no skunks for me this trip and that’s unusual for sure!
Some pieces I swore were going to be bigger by the hole I was digging...I can’t believe what small targets the 7000 can get at some depth!
Here’s my largest and smallest nuggets found this trip...a 3 grammer and .06 gram; I only use the 7000 in Nevada and really don’t plan on finding Gold Monster sized gold there, but hey, gold is gold!
After being in the dry desert sun and wind all week, I was wishing I could shed my wrinkled outer skin and grow anew like this guy did😆
Saw lots of wild horses, different lizards, and cute horny toads which all add to the experience out there! Had a great time with some great people, and ended up with over 12 grams of Northern Nevada Nuggies!

My friend Terry Shannon, our local detecting Legend here on the Treasure Coast, has taken Luke out detecting...he spearheaded getting this fundraiser going I think. I’ll be donating...it’d be awesome to get Luke a way to get on the beach more. 😊👍
