Sean.C Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Well I headed out a few days ago by myself to do some exploration. Ended up at an old hydraulic site, which turned out to be pretty cool. I spent most of my time hiking around, it seemed, and very little actually detecting. I did find my fair share of bullet slugs and birdshot though so at least im doing something right. I also found a suprising amount of bear crap. I'd say a pile every 100 ft in any direction, which kept me lookin over my shoulder constantly. Well anyway I managed to not get eaten and took a few pics so hope you enjoy. In the last pic you can see above the tree's where they were blasting the mountainside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean.C Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Thanks for the encouragement El Dorado, although I'm not sure if this particular spot has gold of the right size and depth for a metal detector. It might be a good place to highbank for some fine gold though. Good source of water and no rivers or streams to silt up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaimi Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Aloha, Great pics. Certainly worth the hike just for the view and serenity thats for sure. Bear crap every 100 feet. HMMM, maybe it had the runs! Glad you didn't have to run tho. Aloha and show us more pics of your hikes. Aloha, Stan aka Kaimi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
