Dakota Slim Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 (edited) Thank you gentlemen. Mitchel, I believe we met at the Dale in March of this year. It will be nice to see you again. Bill, it was my pleasure. Thank you for continuing to provide this most excellent forum. Frank, that is a NV nugget but my next stop will be Gold Basin. Thank you garimpo. Steve, I hope so too. Martin, thank you for making that clear. I hope to meet up with you again somewhere down the road. Thanks Rimshot. It looks even better today. Uncle Ron, I never gave up beepster ​ but I have spent a lot of time fishing and I made good use of the fish whacker I got from Goldstudmuffin this year. KOA's are not part of my itinerary. Thank you Adam & Mike. Hoser John, it's crystalline. Thank you d_day, Dutchman and Au Seeker.

Johnno Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Very Very nice I really need to take a break and get out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Slim Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) Thank you Harry & Relichunter.Johnno, I fully agree. Take that break. There is simply NO reason not to. Russ, the story is real simple. I followed your advice and got a bigger coil for my GP Extreme. I picked up a used 18" round NF Advantage mono and after I got done whacking fish this summer I headed to beautiful downtown Jungo, NV, I started off at a new WSPA claim but took a wrong turn getting there and ended up at a dead end. I had to backtrack to get to the claim but I saw some good signs and no claim markers at the dead end so I went back there the next day and start beeping, I beep and I beep and I beep and I beep... I see a couple old dig holes and I know there WAS something there... Then all of a sudden I get the signal. A really really sweet signal. So, I start scraping off topsoil and run my magnet over the scrape.... The target is there but it's deeper. So, I put down the detector and start digging I dig and I dig and I dig some more because I gotta dig a really wide hole !<----------->! to get the huge coil in there. I was down about 6 inches and was still in soft soil when I ran the coil over the hole again.and target was out of the hole and I figured it was a bullet. It didn't take long to get it into the scoop and then in my hand. It was pretty heavy and I saw yellow! So, I cleaned it up a bit and put in my poke before checking the hole again Then I filled my dig hole like a good boy. and I started beeping again looking for the nexxxxxxxxxt nugget. I'm still looking but it sure helps when you find a bone now and then. What the??? "You have posted a message with more emoticons than this community allows.
