flakmagnet Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Here is my rule for detecting in hot weather: if your clothes catch fire as you get out of the truck, it's too hot. (bad joke but almost true for many) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyLundy Posted July 2, 2021 Author Share Posted July 2, 2021 Joe D, Your right! Covid Shot 😂 Flak, I’ve lived and worked in the heat. Before I joined the Military I was a Roofer in Arizona...one hot day on top of a Apartment Building Roof, I seen a Air Force Recruiters Office across the street. I found myself enjoying their Air Conditioned waiting room eating my lunch! Long story short, I still enjoy Air Conditioning and a hot patch of fresh nugget!

Joe D. Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 With the way it's heating up, I'm gonna have oceanfront property, way before you guys in Arizona! Even Alaska is getting their fair share already this year! 90+ in Juneau this week!! At least the water there, can give some relief! And gold!!🥵👎👎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyLundy Posted July 2, 2021 Author Share Posted July 2, 2021 Of Course, I use to enjoy a nice cool Creek in the hot California Summers. Those days are long gone, I’m sure of? I’ve chunked a mountain of Cobbles to get to bedrock to see crevices stuffed with nuggets...miss that part of dredging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flakmagnet Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 That was my favorite way to hunt for gold. There were four summers between 1977 and 1982, where I got to dredge all over the motherlode. They were magical times, and yes Rick, you are right, plenty of gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Those were the days my friend I thought they would never end" until I helped a couple of beginners get some gold instead of mica in their pans. The next week their mates turned up with 3 dredgers and empty out the spot. ..........I guess that they were the type that contributed to the closing of dredging with their greed .......

LuckyLundy Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share Posted July 4, 2021 These are today’s freshly dug nuggets from a Patch that’s had every metal detector known to man swing on it!

mn90403 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 I wouldn't call all of those tiny but once you find out that some have been missed ... others follow! Good job by your friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyLundy Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share Posted July 4, 2021 Mitch, A few where right in the heart of the patch, that we pounded. I know I don’t get every nugget out of a patch, but I do stop going to them if I can’t find anymore and this is one of them old patches! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
