The GPZ Gold Rush

[pard]

have you swung a detector over every square inch of your state at least 3 times , if not then it aint over until the 175 ouncer sings!

[Relichunter]

Plenty of areas to hunt , the end is no way near. I wish I had the time to hunt just the areas I see and spot on my way to work and back....

The oldtimer that taught me how to detect always said " Always remember, you cant even touch a nugget patch with a detector" that theory proved itself over the years time and time again!

I never said the gold is all gone or ever will be. Gold rushes on the other hand come and go.

Lots of great and thoughtful posts - thanks everyone!

Pard,

I have read this quote a number of times and I am still confused.  I wonder if you meant to write "without a detector"?  If not, help me.

[Digger Jones]

I could be wrong but what I think he means is that most large nugget deposits are deeper than today's metal detectors can detect. Including the 7000.

Heck Steve, there's a gold rush every time I head out the door to prospect..like I'm gonna do in an hour or so! Whohoo and Weedoggie! Gonna get me some yeller tamorrow! 

[Relichunter]

Haha...that's good NuggetBob !! Soo true, the Gold Rush starts in the mind...and hits Fever Levels every time I think about heading out to hunt, which is often for me. The gold we find is just a reminder.....theirs more out there to be found....

[Sourdough Scott]

In some areas. All you need is one inch more depth to find more nuggets.

Digger Jones,

 

That makes sense.  Not sure why I was so thick headed when I read the quote.  Thanks. Now back to the gold rush.
