Hi all'
Was down to Va. for a long weekend. Got to try out the new DD 6x9 on the Mxt. It worked much better then the standard coil in the heavy minerals. Worked with it for a few hours and found lots of led shot and 22 caseings, but managed two small nuggets out of the down streem side of the old tailing piles in the edge of the stream. Most of the junk was a very good solid sound and a positave ID and the two nuggets were just a slight change in hum. The hot rocks are a pain but I quickly learned to pick them out from the other ground cover and knock them out of the way. Still found the power sluice to be more productave tho.
We got into some nice bedrock and found a good run of quartz that we pounded on most of the day Sat. Looked real promising but we seamed to do better in the overburden. the gold was moved buy the storm and not really to deep into the streem bed.
Art' Sorry I didn't get more time to spend with you. Hope you had a good time.
Jon' Hope all is going well and maybe we'll hook up in the spring.
I'll post some pics later.
