I have only detected two days on the claim this year. I've been placering and have been scouting some open areas for a client and on some private land detecting.
I had a neighbor offer to use his SDC
Spent yesterday and today going over dome areas I've wanted to hit with a PI
The thing has great depth on small stuff pretty impressed.
I pulled about twenty pieces of blasting cap fragments out of waste rock piles. Boot tacks are screamers at four plus inches.
Skunk yesterday though I hit areas that I haven't found gold with vlf first.
Then the creek in areas where I've sniped detectable gold. The water is loud no headphones so I kinda chased myself out.
This morning I went up to the area I've been scraping and pulling small stuff out with my gold bug.
The first area I have cleaned up pretty well nothing. I bit my lip and headed up into the poison oak along the edge of where a shaft drops in.
Quartz and slate throw out. Get a scream right away...square nail.
Sweep over the area,again still have a target kick the quartz that's high and in the way of the coil to the side with my foot. Sweep target gone I knew right away. Reach over where it had rolled..yelling at me with the coil six inches plus off of it.
There's only a bit of gold visible. But, it is about palm size and weighs seventeen ounces.
I'll hit it with the MD-20 when I get to the shop tomorrow see where it seems like the gold is inside. The dentist a few doors,down can x-ray it for me he's done it before.
I'll go from there. I might just break it open.
Make my way up to some more prospects and throw out. More blasting cap pieces a few more boot tacks..then another faint signal.
Scrape first few inches getting loud but not like a nail. More scraping louder...pull material out with pick targets out. Start passing over the coil...screaming lump of mud.
Trying to be careful there's sponge here and I've broken stuff before..
Sure enough with water back at my pack it broke in two.
I was about eight inches into the throw out pile before it fell out.
The bigger piece is a loud 16 gram piece the one that split off is like 7.
They're in acid over night the weight will drop a little and obviously theres some quarts but the 16 gram piece is pretty sweet.
The smallest piece is a half gram.
They are gonna look awesome with the clay off and rust pulled out.
I'll post more pics as I clean them up.
