My Rye Patch Hunt

[Flyinjeff]

Last week I had the chance to hunt with Lucky and Rudy at Rye Patch in Northern Nevada.  My wife and I flew in to Sacramento and drove to Rye Patch for our club (WSPA) annual outing.  This is my fourth outing with the club at Rye Patch. I found my first Rye Patch nugget with a GPX 4000 at this outing.in 2014.  The next two years was a skunk. Last year I watched how the new GPZ 7000 was preforming compared to GPX 5000.  I purchased the GPZ 7000 and it made the outing a more fun outing.  With a little pointy fingers and detecting tips from Lucky and Rudy our trip was a very enjoyable one.  First picture is Lucky and me holding the two largest nuggets we found.  4 grams and 3.3 grams.  The hole is where I got the 3.3 gram nugget 18" deep.  The last picture is my wife with one of her nuggets she found with the SDC 2300.  Its nice being back in Hawaii warm weather until the next season.

Jeff, you two had a great trip!  The Wolf Pack enjoyed you and Sue’s company in the Goldfields and at our Clubs outing.  Your a great student and this trip, I feel like all your training finally paid off.  We look forward to seeing you two at our next adventure!  Until the next hunt

Jeff and Sue had Rye Patch wired this week!  I had to 'avoid' them because each time I saw them they had more gold and I didn't!  haha

They went to patches I couldn't find and once there they found it!

Well done.
