Sonoran Dave Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Too bad its not gold Found it only 5-6" deep. Right after digging a 2 1/2 foot hole for another old can The other rocks I found in the same area, I think both are associated with copper deposits.(had to save them... never saw a blue rock before, at least not outside a fish tank) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Dorado Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I can't even count the amount of trash targets over a 5-6 year period I dug till I got my first detector nugget! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonoran Dave Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 I was up at Copper Basin(fitting huh?) north of Wilhoit AZ.No Frank I was using the TDI. The black sand was so thick(and on the surface) I had to turn down the gain to maybe 2 or 3 on the GMT. The TDI punched right through it. Made hunting ALOT more pleasant! The black sand was hanging of my pick in 6" dreadlocks!!!The" stranger in a strange land" just seems to fit, heck I've been in Alaska my whole life. I'm liking Arizona though.... met some good people here. Happy the woman decided on college here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick in Havasu Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Hello Dave. Great finds you have there. Be sure to listen to Frank, he knows what he is talking about. When I was in the Army, they told us that if we weren't p'ing, we weren't drinking enuff. (I always thought they were talking about beer !!)Stay cool, and best of luck,Patrick.....
