TomH 2,738 Posted December 2, 2018 This was a spur of the moment trip but Luke and I headed out to a old area that Ive visited many times.(Wades Sun baker Patch) I wanted to run through it one more time after the rain we had this year, and the area really got changed a LOT. I managed to pull the little guy out from about 5 inches in a wash I was headed down. I turn the corner and see Luke. He was working up the wash. He says "darn it, you found my hill side patch" Luke found two nice flat ones on the hill side in a type of host rock (schist) that has always given up gold to me. YAH!!! We both found some.I had walked by those two probably 5 times. Dont know if I ever swung over that particular area or not.....But, they are his now It was absolutely perfect weather for detecting and getting away from it all.

LukeJ 2,039 Posted December 4, 2018 Thanks again everyone !! Yeah, it's always a good time when I get to go detecting with one or two Toms. Even better when gold is found.... Better yet again, when your friend finds gold too. 14 hours ago, Swampstomper Al said: Hmmmm -- not quite prickly pear but not sure I'd be turning my back on it like that either, Luke.. Swamp You know, I hear ya.... but if it's not the 'Teddy Bear' Cholla, I hardly pay much attention to it. Plus I think that particular cactus was farther away than it looks in the picture. If there was cholla on the ground, I wouldn't be squatting like that. I have 'transferred' some on more than one occasion from my shoe to my backside. That sure gets your attention.

Then ridding side saddle home so the wife can pull cacti thorns out of you know where makes for a fun time. The desert can be a difficult place to play in. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
