IdahoPeg Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Just got back from 8+ days in the high desert....the weather was perfect and the quiet, wide open spaces were soul rejuvenating. Met up with Chet and Brian....we were working on a skunk our first day when Lucky Lundy texted Brian, so we went and joined him on a hunt. And true to his name, his luck rubbed off on all of us...by late afternoon we all had some gold. By the next day, Rick and I both had Lucky 7s lol.... Unfortunately, his favorite beverage was gone and all I had to offer Lucky Lundy was my homemade lentil soup or organic tofu/veggie stir fry, so he left us for “meatier” digs 😄 Detected new and old spots and I found gold each day....no skunks for me this trip and that’s unusual for sure! Some pieces I swore were going to be bigger by the hole I was digging...I can’t believe what small targets the 7000 can get at some depth! Here’s my largest and smallest nuggets found this trip...a 3 grammer and .06 gram; I only use the 7000 in Nevada and really don’t plan on finding Gold Monster sized gold there, but hey, gold is gold! After being in the dry desert sun and wind all week, I was wishing I could shed my wrinkled outer skin and grow anew like this guy did😆 Saw lots of wild horses, different lizards, and cute horny toads which all add to the experience out there! Had a great time with some great people, and ended up with over 12 grams of Northern Nevada Nuggies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyLundy Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Peg, It was great hunting with you all, there’s a million spots to find gold out in the High Desert! Very happy, that your hard work paid off with a nice handful of nuggets. I’m restocked and my truck is loaded up, until the next hunt!

mn90403 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Lucky does have a pointy finger and he uses it often. An extended stay on the plains up there is invigorating as well. The long vistas and the 'possibilities' seem endless. Well done and told. Mitchel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
