LowPoint Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Boy, you talk about a beautiful (weather-wise) day to be out,...this one was it!! It was clouded and overcast and there was a mist-like rain that greeted me when I opened my front door this morning around 7 am. The air was coooooool, and I could hardly wait to get out. When I finally got into this new wash around 8:30 it began to sprinkle a bit heavier,.....man it felt GREAT!!!! The rest of the day (up till about noon when my battery died ) had on-and-off rains come in that where "just-Right"---not too much to drench you, and the humidity was low. I was detecting toward upstream when I approached this inside bend where I saw a nice looking exposed-quartz vein ( contact zone) that had cut thru the decomposed granite bedrock. Not more than a foot down stream of it I got this nice mellow signal (not the loud and obnoxeous ones you get from trash). Nothing big,....but it's gold..........I'm ready for more weather like this...........with a fully-charged battery next time.

Alwaysdirty Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Lots-o-bedrock! Glad you squeaked something out of there. All day while slaving away at work I kept thinking how perfect the weather was to go out prospecting, I'm jealous! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that with the expensive detector, or your favorite? Luke Hey Luke,..... I didn't need the 7000 on this wash, as the bedrock is right there at the surface, so I used my f-a-v-o-i-t-e. Thus far I have found 3-different-inside bends that have had a nugget-or-two,........all of the straight stretches so far have been barren. Strange?????

wet/dry washer Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Have you checked out the black rocks for being meteorites? Small washes where me finds fall rocks the water doesn't have enough force to move them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
