Popular Post Rob Allison Posted July 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2019 Hello All, Out here in Arizona, USA, it's been very hot and now humid as the Monsoons are right around the corner. That being said, I have been poking around an old placer location loaded with iron rubbish in search for overlooked gold nuggets. I have made it a point to start very early, right at day break and hunt until the heat runs me out (typically 4-5 hours). I was using the Minelab GPZ 7000 and placering a wash bottom down to bedrock like the old-timers would. I'm lucky every so often to get a nugget here and there wedged in the bedrock cracks/crevices that the old-timers missed or overlooked. It's always a mystery to wonder what the old-timers really discovered in some of these really rich coarse gold placer areas. I'm not sure of the rules about Youtube videos, but I have attached two of them for your viewing. Hope some of you that are not able to get out right now can enjoy the adventure with me. 20 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mn90403 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Your camera made it look like you were in a studio. Thanks for the video. Based upon some of our threads here I'm going to ask you what you do with the 7000 while you are digging. Are you putting it in manual or just keeping it in your search settings. What are those by the way? Mitchel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasong Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 You are a brave man bustin bedrock with the sharp Hermit pick end on those screamers Rob. I've resorted to carrying a pinpointer and screwdriver with me due to losing sleep over dinging up some nice ones in those situations. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
