Popular Post Chet Posted July 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2020 Finally got out again with the 15" x 10” X-Coil. It ran really quiet and smooth continually in High Yield, Normal, at Sensitivity at 20. Found 10 small nuggets for a total weight of 4.55 grams. They were between 5 to 8 inches deep in a California pine tree area. The X-Coils work great, but the 15 x 10” is now the go to coil. Have a good day, Chet 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Valen Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 1994 really isn't that old, and why did you put corn flakes around it? Great job on the hunt and may luck be with you on your next hunt, just maybe you can find something in the 1950's. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has since grown back scattered pine trees which are now dead from disease or fire. Little shade so the temperatures were close to 100F or 37C. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevada Brian Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 If the pine tree area is next to a big round rock then I know exactly where you were, if not, then I have no idea, Lol. Either way very nice finds Chet, glad your finding gold and happy with the 10x15. Brian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Just send GPS coordinates, this will suffice...;) PS: Not many areas in the Motherlode were hunting with the GPZ is fun. Unless you are having fun cleaning up the trash from 100's of thousands of old time miners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
