Al C 0 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Found a little spot today that had shoe nails every foot. I figured with that much trash John B hadn't been there so plowed into it and this little feller showed up. AL C Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Al C 0 Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 Hey Sliver Dog; I know one thing for sure, that machine is working the hell out of me. It was so bad today I wanted to throw it over the hill. The darn thing kept beeping on shoe nails and some of them only the heads at 10". After fifty of those I'm ready to crawl back to the truck. How in the world did those ol' boys keep shoes on their feet? You gotta love it. AL. C Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keitharmy 0 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Great stuff Al! Myself and another guy were out there today with our GMTs and got skunked. We both used some of the advice we got from the forum and I think it went better. Much more thrash... We were mostly in the Boston and Kentucky Gluch area on some DGD claims... If you want company or should I say don't mind a youngster tagging along to learn the ropes a little. Let me know :innocent0009: Keith Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richs 0 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Nice nugget Al. Those nails may be from their drywashers. I found too many in one area two weeks ago after a few of them I thought to myself there is no way these came from a boot. I think they were used to tack on the cloth to the drywashers. What do you think your avg. depth is for the gold you have been finding with your 4500? Are you using the stock coil? Just curious. Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Al C 0 Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 You are right Rich, those can't be shoe nails they have to be from the dry washers. I would say around 8" avg on the stuff I've been getting but a few have been deeper. Most of it in hard pack is the bugger of the deal. I can't fined anything in the lose stuff.
