boulder dash Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Well was extremely cold and windy yesterday in the Kingman area. A total of 3.5 hours of cold detecting and was able to get these 3 bits. The area I was working was really wet loud ground to work with the Vlf. Lots of volcanic rocks and iron stone to scream in my ears. I think some day I may have to try one of those big heavy pi detectors you guys like. I'm sure I missed a few in all that Vlf noise.

Broke ground on the addition, looks like I will be tied up with that for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boulder dash Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 Yes Frank same place just removed some overburden. The correct mining term is placered the overburden with a small amount of handstacking. Also I hit that other area but not as much luck. I may go again tomorrow but am waiting to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonG Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Nice ones! Ground is frozen the top 4" at Meadview. You aren't missing much without the PI, even the quiet ground here is kinda noisy with all the ice chunks and water in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonG Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I got a little half grammer and a 1.2 grammer. And that's like 40 hours of hunting. I give up on this place again! (I tell myself that every year I guess...) I've seen enough pictures of tables full of 4 ouncers found a few inches deep with old BFO's to last me a lifetime. I took Boulder Dash's advice and got me a Gold Bug 2 and I've been picking up the slack on all that exposed caliche and bedrock in the basin. Power for price man, that detector is a dandy.

boulder dash Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 O boy Jason you may now be hooked by the power of the mighty Vlf. Sounds like your hitting nuggets with your gb2. Wont be long before you start finding 10-20 nuggets a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonG Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) Do you use that larger elliptical coil much? I think it's like 8" or 10". I was thinking about giving it a try for some of these places the sand or hardpack is covering the caliche like 6 inches deep. Just wondering how much difference that coil makes.I can get 5 or 6 of those little guys a day if I run across the right stretch, I'm not at you and Adam's Yoda level quite yet but I'm working on it.

boulder dash Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 No the 10 inch elliptical just did not seem sensitive enough while I used it. When I was a beginning I only used the 10 inch coil. One of the patches I found had a area of exposed bedrock where I detected 10-15 targets mostly bird shot and a few nuggets. Being my only coil i scrapped and scrubbed till I was sure there were no more targets. Put the 6 inch on and hit the patch again. Target after target some being gold were recovered. The sensitivity of the 6 inch was just so much better I don't think I will ever go back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sensitivity of the 6 inch was just so much better I don't think I will ever go back. I can vouch for that! Went up to Owl wash/up the hill to where you and Mrs Dash were pulling out the dinks.I scraped, dug, spit, cussed, cried....everything......you didnt leave a fly speck for me! But, you did miss one crusty ol 22 bullet. I got it if you want it :P Oh ya....there are no more iron stones in the wash if you want tohit it again. They are all up on the sides now. Hit a lot of ground southwest of that area and came up with some really nice old bullets and wire. Whats wire doing 1/2 mile back in the middle of nowhere????????.I think people are throwing stuff out of airplanes over that area :(Good day out. PERFECT detecting weather.Tom H.
