TomH Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Hey all: Got out today back up to road wash.Met up with a friend to do some detecting and placering.I dug up a nice area in the wash and detected it but only got a little piece of lead. Moved on to detecting. There was a red area in this spot I wanted to hit so off I go. It was up out of the wash on a steep hillside. I think one leg is a little shorter now!About 10 min. into it I get this really odd signal. Its high/low but its kind of squeaky and broken. Im thinking its a piece of rusted tin.Welp, about 3 inches down and into the spoon out comes a nice fat 1.8 grammer! YAH!It was about 3 feet out of the wash on the side.I call dad and Kenn over so they can hit the hillside also, thinking it may be a patch.Well, we hit it from top to bottom and just got some trash. After that we started to meander around other washes in the area.Im walking across a hillside and what do I find? A cell phone! Go figure. Guess there's some gold in it Was a great day out and the good Lord blessed us with some gold and good times Tom H. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
