SnakeBoot 4 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Went out to randsburg yesterday for a day of nugget shooting..I get to the location I had been planning on and started swinging a gullie I have had my eye on...within the first 45 minuets I pulled out this lil dink. I found the skunk that has been holding it and buried him for making me chase him around..all in all..great day in the desert..weather was perfect and got some poke in the jar..untill next time..enjoy..you wont find it if your not looking Edited February 23, 2014 by Keep Swingin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fredmason 1,135 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Nice nugget and good detecting. That shape can be easy to find if it is flat in relation to the coil and very hard to find if it is sideways to the coil...orientation is eveer so important.fred Quote Link to post Share on other sites
