Finally

[Bear]

Today I went to an area that I recently gained access to.  I looked at imagery to see where the old workings are.  I picked a spot where a drag line and wash plant had been though.  As I was driving in I noticed a lot of the ground had all of the rocks racked off.  I figured who ever did it had to have found something.  So the tailings will have to wait.

I decided to run the SDC 2300 over that ground.  After digging the 10th piece of shot I got another signal about a foot away from one I just dug.  It was real hard to pinpoint and find but the sun hit it right on the coil and I knew it was a little piece.  Finally I found a nugget in New Mexico.  Nothing like others recently on the forum but I was pretty jazzed.  My first desert piece.

Well done.Wow .exciting to find a first nugget.

 

Now its will be all much easier.

I think i will invent this saying and say whoever detect and doesn't find a gold with 2300 something is wrong with him/her.

 

Slow, listen all little sounds and collect.

 

 

Good luck
