Short Park Hunt Brings Vegas Gold

[oldmxrat]

My buddy came by late yesterday to talk me into going on a short park hunt with him (not hard to talk me into, btw!). We have beat this park pretty hard in the past so I was paying particular attention to the trash signals that we might have passed over previously.
Sure enough, I get get a clean sounding 12 on the Legend. That is the folded up gum foil VDI and tone every time, uhhh, almost every time!

1.6g of 18k yella.

Thanks Hbot!
My wife always laughs at me when I empty out my bag with all those little pieces of foil and can slaw. I have to remind her of the dozen or so gold items I have found in that range.

Ha! Lived in Nevada over 30 years now, maybe spent $20-30 gambling. I like the odds of dirt surfing much better!

I like the coin that was shot. My buddy was a sculptor and he had a clay bust that we stuck coins in its edges and shot them with .22 rounds. That might not be a .22 that shot that coin, but its sure looks like a classic bullet hole.

Hi, not shot, just a crusty old zinc penny with dirt cancer.
Btw, welcome to the forum.
