Goldseeker5000 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Changed spots from Gold Basin to Lost Basin and results are better. Three pieces in a day and a half. The Six was screaming on this specimen at a foot deep. I honestly thought it was going to be trash. I was heading back to camp at the end of the day before sundown and started to swing haphazardly and bam - It lit the six up. It was on caliche and when I realized it was a nugget, I just sat down on the ground, turned the six off and sat there laughing for 15 minutes. I don't have any doubts the six will go deep. I didn't get to do some testing with it with lower sensitivity at all as I figured it was trash and really had no idea it was as deep as it was. I will be gridding the area and any other signals will be tested well before I dig. It weighed 2.54 g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldseeker5000 Posted February 15, 2022 Author Share Posted February 15, 2022 I got one more today 10-15 minutes into detecting, 8 ft from the last one. I used an entire spool of surveyors twine to box off a grid and it was on the second swing row in line with the last on the top edge of the ridge of the wash.
