eodseal2000 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I went to an area that was hunted to death and found this one near a dighole. We dug all targets in the past so it should have been clean. It's funny how time will make new targets appear. Took my friend to a new area and he did well, he should post here later. Good Forum, good people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave wiseman Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Seal,perhaps all the rain and frost account for those new signals........Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eodseal2000 Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 Yes, between the gophers and moisture it makes a big difference. The one I got today was loud. It probabally was on edge and over time moved and layed flat enough to get a good signal. If you have a patch that you think is hunted out, come back after it rains for several days and you would be suprised what you find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOOKIN4GOLD Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 That is a nice find in a pounded patch Alan, good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave wiseman Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Yeah Seal,during the late 70's when I use to coin and relic hunt with the old Compass 94B rainy days and wet ground would produce erratic signals,but good finds.......Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nugget Shooter Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Hey Alan, Nice gold! Yup evenly wet ground is much more fun to detect than dry dirt. bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micro Nugget Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 That's a mystery alright -- how those nuggets manage to elude us during one time of the year and then "miraculously" reveal themselves on a return trip. But it has happened to me enough times not to be surprised any more. And it doesn't seem to matter whether the surface is inclined or flat or whether the nugget is stout of body or road kill thin. Of course, we're not talking sitting ducks -- typically match heads, flyspecks or smaller. Ahhh, but that's one of the reasons I love this quest. Lack of mystery would a boring day make.
