I just joined the website today. I'm a long time prospector and I write for the ICMJ Magazine. I reside in the heart of the California Gold Country and have a hydraulic pit within 10 minutes of my house. I currently run a Garrett Goldmaster 24K and an Axiom. The more I learn about detecting the more I realize I know very little so I'm here to learn all I can! I'll attach a shot of my most recent little nugget. I found it last week exploring a pocket deposit in the American River Canyon.
