Popular Post IdahoPeg Posted September 6, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 6, 2018 Was about 2hours into a skunk the other day, so I decided to head back to the main area I’ve been working this summer. There’s some sage and brush adjacent to the rock piles I had been moving....time to investigate! Pulled out a large sage and got the Monster in there...hit a good target right away! Nice little beauty: I proceeded to pull out more sage and rake aside the bed of needles and pine cones. I cleared a small area around a skinny little pine tree. I did leave that one clump alone to the left of the tree, as there is a HUGE anthill thing built up into it and I didn’t want to disturb them and get carried off into the hills by an angry army of ants lol! What a fun little area! It was like the skinny pine had shed gold lol.....here’s that afternoon’s Monster and drywasher finds. I got about the same amount the next day by scraping, detecting, and puffing the area some more! ? 22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravelwasher Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Great looking Idaho gold!! Good to hear your having fun prospecting and getting some good shine. I know you are tracking down more as I type this. I am sure the gold is running as you are flat out a great detectorist. Got your ear tuned and know your hot rocks vs cold rocks vs gold nuggets. Much gold to you !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanursepaul Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Nice job...we are both scrapers ! Is that your gold from that puffer you bought a year or so back? We didn’t dryblow today because there wasn’t enough wind to keep from choking us to death.. we got a few off the first push we did... and then Trent pushed some more do me to work on this arvo. After I brough him back to town I decided to do my laundry... May even have time to go to the pub for a steak sanga we didn’t get yesterday cause the cook was gone. Keep smashing it there...you are soaking in goodness there! All around you. Enjoy it, ..as I know you do. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry in Idaho Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Certainly one of the hardest working lady prospectors I know of. But you get the gold girl, so keep doing what you do best. Nice photos to BWT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
