Hello all, I was over in Northern Nevada this last week for a few days attending the WSPA event. I ended up having to leave earlier than I wanted to but I was able to get the GB Pro out in the hills and get a few pieces of gold. These pictures are of a spot I have been hunting for years. Plenty of places to find tiny pieces of gold that are the only targets to be heard. It is fun hunting when every target is gold. I was using the GB Pro with the five inch coil and I was able to hear all targets with ease. The weather changed as soon I hit Nevada, as it always does. These weather guys just cannot seem to get it right. The temperature ended up being about ten to twenty degrees colder and with more wind than what the forecast had called for. Nothing new though. I ended up with just a hair over two grams. Shep, if you are out there that is 1.3 dwt. LOL. Check out the one piece of gold that is square, pretty neat. Thanks, TRINITYAU/RAYMILLS

Sorry I missed you guys out there; hopefully next time. Bunch of nice little pickers you got there!
 

Ray--nicely done. I love the desert in Nevada, and I'm sure there's still lots of gold out there due to the lack of water that has stopped so many enterprises from getting the gold over the years. It's great you have a place where the only targets are gold--that would really get the blood pumping.

As far as predicting the weather--we got caught with it being a lot cooler this past weekend than it was supposed to be as well, but we did find a new place with some good gold regardless. However, I'd have much preferred the warm weather to play in rather than the cloudy skies and chilly temperatures.

All the best,

Dreamy playground!
 

You and the GBPro are a deadly combination Ray! Great pics as always :)
 

Nice catches Ray! :occasion14:

I'm still hunting for my first nugget, but I do love that country down
in Nevada, and can't wait to get back down there again!
 

Thanks guys, TRINITYAU/RAYMILLS
 

I was just in Nevada myself, I had family business to take care of. Even though I brought all my equipment I didn't get out at all. It's good to see your nice gold.
