spa in nv Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Nice friends you got there. I have a couple like that. Nice gold too! That would be a good ratio in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonoran Dave Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 If you took the gold out of that picture...It would look like a normal day for me Very nice! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomH Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 WTG Fred Nice nuggets. That looks like some pretty barren land. Tom H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn90403 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Fred, After it gets on your pick do you put it back out there for me to find? Good shooting. Mitchel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuTSaurus Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Nice pictures, Fred, I like the one of your two friends. Like Tom says, "it looks like some pretty barren land." I am always amazed at how they get by, with what seems to me, not near enough water at any given time. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredmason Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 Mitchel, I never, ever put the trash back!!! I know you are joking but there few things that piss me off more than digging some one's junk they threw back. If it is big junk I leave it on a rock-I would not want the Fed's to lose a valuable relic. I watched one Burro bite into a cholla then for dessert he had some Ocotillo branches...talk about tough eating! fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike C... Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Hi Fred WTG looks like your slaying the gold-and just think you only have 8k more dinks to go-Ha ha- Ya my gold to trash ratio in a new place is like 2-3 hundred pieces of trash to one nugget if Im lucky sometimes zero nuggets-I like my old patches because most of the trash has been cleared out and so when I get a signal its usually a nugget Mike C... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-2 Charlie Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Sweet stuff you hunted there . Herd a story this month about border agents running legal hunters off with guns and verbal threats all around down there . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relichunter2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Ok, you just motivated me to go on a hunt today.....dig more iron trash and lead and just maybe a nugget shows up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DryDustyDesertDiggings Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Nice looking gold! I live in Yuma and have been drywashing the AZ side of Laguna Dam with marginal success but nothing like those beauties. I have a Garrett Gold Stinger but not too confident in how to operate it. Anyone coming out to the Yuma area willing to show me the ropes? Or want another shovelman for your drywasher? Message me so as not to hijack fred's thread. Congrats again on the great finds fredmason! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
