Howdy folks,
I've been getting out a little, but nothing really worth posting recently. Yesterday I finally knocked an item off my bucket list. I was working up in the mountains and ran into a fellow working on a gold claim. He kindly invited me to come detecting once I knocked off work in the afternoon. The nuggets came out of some old workings. I was impressed that the Nox was able to find such small pieces in mineralized soil. I was running prospector mode 1, factor settings. The large nugget rings up a solid 6-8 VDI and was 3-4 inches deep. The small nugget was about 2-3 inches deep and rang up as a 1-2VDI. As you can tell from my sideways photo, I was on cloud nine. I've been wanting to detect a nugget for YEARS. Finally able to cross that off.
Also, I found the nice local trade token in a lawn on Sunday. It came from a saloon/retail liquor store. I found some advertisements for the place in the local newspapers from 1908-1913.
Thanks for looking,
