Only 112 degrees here today heading to 116 by Saturday so not much detecting getting done around here. I think you should head North before your detector melts. Actually, so you know, it is not good to store detectors in vehicles in those kinds of temps. Be safe, be kind, wash your hands and spread some cheer...no more heat.

You got me to thinking if I lived in or around Reno, I'd be NOX'in out on some serious ore dump piles. So many people pass on them and there is good gold be to found in a few. Usually crystalline or wire type gold, but those are some serious money makers. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice gold you saved from the grave!!!! Gold at different times of the year comes in many forms. In the winter in MT, a stack of wood will keep you warm and stack of gold will let you freeze with a shitty grin on your face. Smart move to get the wood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(beautiful finds…the Nox does rock in the right circumstances) Not as much mineralized soils in the areas I like to use the NOX, as the original material was already mined and many times the dirt is washed away. This particular area has more dirt than some of my normal sites, but since it is not in its natural state, the mineral content is not concentrated and or as dense. I would say light to almost medium. Now there are sites there on the hillsides they did not channel water, so those are virgin ground and there the ground conditions becomes worse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are great finds, but all those specimens take up a lot of room.Where do you store them, Fort Gerry? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
