mn90403 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Ok, the guessing is up. All the clues have been given. This is more of a 'what your detector' can see story than something valuable. I wish we would have more of them. What did you find? Well, I have gained more respect for Norvic. He is the closest to the real find. When I dug the hole it was not tin as I had heard before. This target that was silent to a 3030, mellow to a 7000 and jumping around on the GB Pro was a piece of degraded aluminum foil. It is not a find of a lifetime but an object seen by a 7000 but would probably be missed with other technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condor Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I dropped a duece there a couple years ago and put that trash on top before I covered it up. Must have smelled like cheap red wine and bean dip. I've learned my lesson especially with the 7k, loose float gravel "no bueno", got to have a bottom within digging distance.

matt Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 That sucks, but I have "been there done that" many times and been rewarded with foil. I have also been rewarded with a big gold nugget, Keep on digging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reno Chris Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Got to have a bottom within digging distance? Well, a good friend of mine picked up a heck of a gold-quartz specimen in deep Placer tailings gravel some time back. Multiple ounces of gold in a single piece and I'd bet the bottom there was at least 5 feet down. Probably more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klunker Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I have to agree here with CR. I am among the laziest prospectors out there but skipping over something because you don't want to dig a deep hole is a poor practice. However after a couple of dozen pieces of deep trash I usually take a break and try to find some exposed bed rock. Digging deep "trash" has always paid off in the long run.
