gold found with MXT

[Hillbilly Bob]

Here some gold I've found with my MXT, they are 1/2 oz vials. Some of the fine gold was pulled out of the creek using a sluice box after locating it with the detector. And some was detected in a dry wash, all with the MXT and 6 X 10 DD coil.

Nice gold Robert. In what state are you finding your gold. HH Dennis in Idaho

Nice finds! What size of coil did you use?

 

[Hillbilly Bob]

I mainly hunt three states, California, Colorado, and Arizona. I go prospecting a couple times a year. I have family in all three states.

Great stuff Hillbilly. You must know your MXT pretty well.

Very nice SMALL gold.
That is some coil to find that small gold and gravels.
Do you look for mineralization/black sands too with the MXT?
That MXT is a workhorse.

Yes Jim, thats what I do is track the black sand and when I get high iron signals I figure its a pocket of heavy material then I set up my sluice. I've never got just a gold reading when in a creek.

Hello H. Bob....
Just wanted to drop you a "thanks" for posting these pics (right after I was asking about the MXT and possible gold in the local river). Pure inspiration .

Work has been murder lately and I haven't had time to be online for awhile, but when things get back to normal I'll be checking out the river. I dug out an old (and unused) set of gold pans I've had for awhile. If anything good happens I'll build a "poop chute" sluice arrangement and try to "do it up right"...lol.

Thanks again for the pics ...
