Hello,
Well after last nights 3" of rain, hundreds of lighting strikes. Figured it was a good day to do some more mound raking gold.
After convincing my dad to run my half of the business for the day. So me and my vacationing partner could chase some gold. We hit the gold diggings for another try. After raking and detecting I managed to rake in 9 pcs with fors gold for a grand total of 1/2 dwt. My partner did about the same. I tried out the 5000 with coiltek camo mono elite coil and managed to find a .4 dwt piece in some deeper ground. But unfortunatly we caught 2 hobos on stolen bikes leaving our property again. These were 2 new hobos that we never saw. Some how they speak good english, but can't read the no tresspassing signs everywhere. After chewing them out , I decided to call that hoserjohn up for some additional police phone numbers to maybe actual get some real help with this neverending problem. While I was actually talking to hoser another hobo was coming out of the camps in the thick brush. He turned and hightailed it as soon as he saw me. We are just disgusted with this problem. And all the trash they leave. But atleast we found some gold. And enjoyed the 89 degree weather. Still have several mounds to rake down all the thick pine needles so hope to find more next time. Glad Fors Gold is doing a heck of a job still after a year of detecting.
Take care
Good luck
