Kaimi Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Saturday started out real nice for Del and I. Nice weather and actually found a couple of small pieces pretty quick. Sunday was a different story: Windy as all heck! Lots of false targets but nada,zip,squat for me. Monday: Just could not leave Franconia knowing I got skunked so after gassing up I decided to sleep in the jeep at the truck stop and hunt monday morning. I started at 8am sharp and found my first chondrite within 30 minutes. then plucked out four irons from the same general area. Moved on to a spot i really wanted to check and after an hour of hiking found a nice one within 40 minutes of detecting. I finally decided I had enough for the day and left at 1pm. This was one rough weekend. Logged a LOT of miles as Del can testify. Saturday finds= 6 nice irons totalling with one weighing out at 1.8 grams and it looked like a cashew with some nice little impacts. chondrites=20.8gm,10.8gm,11.5gm and 1.7gm and the big one for the day was 153.3 gm. Sunday= dont want to even think about today Monday=four irons totalling 9 grains and a chondrite weighing 12.4, the last one weighed in at 158.9gm. Dont want to even think about how many miles Del and i logged but it was a LOT! good luck to the next couple of guys hunting out there. Hint: Take a weedwacker,everything is growing like springtime.

Paseclipse Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Way to go Stan! Heck you even plucked some nice looking irons. Yeah that was definately a rough weekend, but we toughed it out and it looks like it all worked out for both of us. Have you thought about reducing the file size before you post? I know you use Adobe Photoshop Elements and I can walk you through how to reduce the image sizes, just give me a call. Del Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaimi Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 Nice bunch Stan. :whoopie: We need to find a way of stealing some of that Youth from the Boys.. :banged: Wayne :icon_mrgreen: Mahalo for the compliment Wayne. I dont think I will be needing to steal any youth from them wippersnappers just yet. Hell, Del seems to be doing a great job keeping up with me so far. Although at times I do tend to take a break every now and then. BTW, it seems that when I take my breaks I usually end up plucking a chondrite out of the ground within five feet. :innocent0009: Must be intuition or something because it sure has been working a lot lately. :innocent0002: Aloha, Stan aka Kaimi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalNovice Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Thanks for the pics Stan. It's a good thing you hung in there for a Monday hunt, you did well. Glad you got to leave feeling good, Sunday sounds like it was a stinker. Congrats on your finds :whoopie: . Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regmaglitch Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Yo Stan, Those are VERY nice finds! Nobody has got anything over on you.
