adam Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) I said to boulder dash as we hid under a canopy waiting for the rain to end.Thursday was beautiful out , and we were able to get some dry washing, and detecting in. Friday however , we couldn`t even leave camp. Saturday the rain finally let up around 11am after a good 38 hours of consistent downpour. Boulder dash referred to it as a deluge, and I was inclined to agree.We were able to detect the afternoon on Saturday and a few nice pieces of gold were found in a relatively short period of time. The rains came again Saturday night and never stopped. Our spot was slopping wet, muddy mess by this time and the trip was called short Sunday morning.Boulder dash may post some of his or maybe a few from a previous visit.Here are the pieces I was fortunate enough to find with the Gold Bug II & SD2200. Some of the fines were panned from a dry washer, but most were detected. Edited November 25, 2013 by adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boulder dash Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Here is some dirty detecting gold and some clean drywasher gold. I did not like all the rain and mud and wet. You know your earning it when you sit under a leaking gazebo for a full day saying it's getting brighter out just to see it rain even more.
