Wire Gold Trip

[Bishop]

its was bit cool at 48 degrees this morning but it warmed up to 72 this afternoon, perfect nugget hunting weather.
my buddy and i got to the area just before sun up. hiked 1/4 mile to an old patch that i found about 20 years ago.
he picked up the 3 bits on the left, almost right away including the wire gold bit, it was a sunbaker. it is one gram.
i snagged the spongy bit top right. its .4 of a gram. for its size it gave a very soft signal.
we then went prospecting for new spots. found a small wash that had ironstone and quartz that looked good.
after about an hour i pulled the 2 gram bit from about 6 inches down in a decomposing bedrock crack.
might be a one nugget wash. we will be hitting it again soon.
after the last few trips watching my partner getting more bits with his 5x10 coiltec than i was getting. i was thinking of getting one.
then my work gave me a $500 gift card so sometime next week ill be getting mine.
good coil for sniping work.
nice 5 hour hunt, total weight was 4 grams.
