whitebutler Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hating the lightning! I couldn't hear signals any longer. I had to leave after a great day in the rain diggin. I dug all the .22 slugs from three counties and a half ton of canslaw. Finally a bit luck. The J shape is 12.2 DWT and a total of 16.1 DWT. I'm happy for the day.

Steve Herschbach Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Nice clean gold, and really interesting shape! Swinging a three foot lightning rod in a thunderstorm must be disconcerting, to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitebutler Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Yes it was Steve. I could hear the lightning coming about an hour before it got to the area. I was becoming uneasy toward the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn90403 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Great gold. What were the ground conditions like? You were using the 14"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitebutler Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Using 14" and I was soaked. The ground was even running water on the hillsides. Super wet but I had fun. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I tend to find my best gold in the worst conditions. Good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
