TomH Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Had a really great 4 days back in the hills looking for gold. Met up with some great friends around Dewey/Humboldt area. There is a lot of gold in this spot but unfortunately.....none of us could seem to get our detectors over it??? Oh well. That is why its called prospecting and not picking up gold We had a blast. Thurs night the rain dumped on us. It got down to about 70F and we all just sat under our canopies soaking it in feeling sorry for the folks in the city. Pretty cool to see normally dry washes flowing. Next two days were kind of muggy though BLAH.... The hand stack in the pic was 3 feet high and about 20 ft long. Someone put a heck of a lot of work in that area..Ate a lot of good food, made new friends and reminisced a lot. The view was AWESOME from camp. Just had a really good time out of the PHX furnace.My cool find was a old shot gun shell base made from 1860-1930s Enjoy!!!! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeJ Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Great pictures Tom. It was good to see everyone again. If the heat hadn't been so oppressive, I'm certain someone would have found something shiny and yellow. Thanks for the invite and the ribeye !!

Knifemaker84 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 The other other Adam found this in a pretty obscure spot.... he said "wtf is a sewer doing out here". it turned out to be a 10lb weight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomH Posted August 8, 2018 Author Share Posted August 8, 2018 That was funny...a weight way out here. Who knows how it got there. Tom H. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Furness Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Wondered where my practice discus landed? Back in the day back in High School I used a 10 lb weight like that for warm-up to throwing the discus at track meets. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
