The Horny Toad was a bonus , I have been seeing a lot more of these little guys this year out detecting... Dave Edited April 5, 2020 by DolanDave 11 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Old Tom 1,123 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Nice job Dave, that acid sure does a good job. So does that little guy with the big eyes. The more rain the more bugs he knows just when to come out. So prehistoric looking, love those guys. Old Tom 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Ron 1,492 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Great gold and awesome horney toad ... I love those guys ... They almost always lead me to the gold, just like Joe Noshoulders! ... When I see the horney toads early, I know I'm on to a golden spot! ... Cheers, Unc 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It takes much longer but that's an advantage since you can check on it daily instead of hourly or even minutes. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Furness 1,523 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Beautiful gold and one of my favorite AZ creatures! Love seeing the Horny Toads emerge. They seem to be lost in time but sure are good bug snatchers! Friendly little buggers too! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
