madtuna Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Jeez JR!! That is dangerous terrain. Must be hard keeping your mind focussed on those faint signals while also listening for that faint whistle of a golf ball heading your way! 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gosh there was that much grass it made the roo have a dump. There is still a tinge of green showing through, so not all is lost. Best get that fence up quick smart. ? Hi Manny, nice pics you put up of your detecting grounds too by the way.? I, like you have many tough beats to get on to the gold. So I am all too aware of the efforts required. Some I can E- mountain bike into for a wee way & then slogging it out on foot. The good part of the E-bike is the coming back down. I fitted a 28 tooth front sprocket to really gear it down for the up hill grinds. Works a treat. Not so fast for over all speed but gravity coming down far over takes the peedling speed. Here are few pics, more to come as I am out of time right now. Actually I will just bang the pics up with no commentary. You will get the picture, no pun intended,? but you will see the ground I have to deal with. That's wonderful terrain to prospect...... Here in Arizona it's nice, but dangerous vegetation...... I rolled down a canyon and onto a large Jumping Cholla bush and got this cholla balls stuck all over arms, legs and back that can't be removed except with a pair of pliers, and due to the excruciating pain and the way the fish hooks attach to any skin ...... I was air lifted into a Phoenix emergency room where I was put out to have them removed under anesthesia......More painful than getting blown up in Iraq ..... Thanks for such a beatiful posting..... Made me feel like I was there !!!!!........... That last picture is all the vegetation that hurts you ! Ha ha .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
