That is the problem…is it a nail or…? Also, you have no doubt seen Rob Allison's posts and videos…he finds rather eye-popping gold in Arizona with incredible regularity…some of them quite big. Anyway, good hunting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you use your left arm to swing the detector? Good luck out there JW ? I used it yesterday for (6) hours and it's easy to handle.... The battery is lightweight aluminum so it's not heavy and I have 20" inch pythons to carry it around for 5 to 10 miles away from the truck and carry it back on my shoulder...... It's an easy machine to carry around....... but man get ready to dig deep ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madtuna Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 can you explain that for a dumb aussie? what is a 20" python...as here it's a small harmless snake, and why not detect back to the car rather than shoulder it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 20" Python is also known as a Bicep muscle ..... which equals a big arm........ When you detect out 2 to 5 miles to the top of a 2,000 foot hill and detecting the top and bottom through washes and boulders and dangerous vegetation and cactus and then hiking back to the car down hill like a mountain goat...... It's easy to climb and detect up a mountain, but it's harder coming down...... I get injured and roughed up and skuffed and bruised up and tripping and falling from sliding gravel and quartz..... It's a rough way down carrying a backpack, picks and two metal detectors....... You just want to make it back to the truck....... Specially after an 8 hour day digging up lead. These are pictures I take while detecting ..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh.....& gold....Aye mad fish.... JW ? got my first lawn happening in over 2 years after we got 40mm of rain.
