My latest Nevada Gold with my Xterra 70

[pvampire]

Hey Guys, this is the latest gold I found here in Nevada with my Xterra 70. I used a 5x10 coil in prospect mode, 24 sensitivity, Iron Mask on and set to 1, and tracking ground balance on. Not real big nuggets, but alot of fun nonetheless! ross ^_^

Just 'cuz they're 'not real big' doesn't mean they aren't AWESOME! How long did you have to hunt to get those?

Nice GOLD, nuggets are nuggets reguardless of what size

That took one day that I spent 6 hours, and about 4 hours the next so in all just a full day really. The weather wasnt cooperating and it was raining but I managed to have about 10 hours I could detect. I've found more since then, but havnt photographed it yet as my camera took a dump! I'll post it as soon as I get a new camera...ross..

Thanks for the nice comments, your right, regardless of the size they sure do put a smile on your face! ^_^ ross..

Hey Harold! Thanks for the kind comments! Do you go nugget shooting at all? Are there any places in Florida or near there? maybe you can find another Atocha type shipwrreck or buried treasure there on the beach! haha...You never know! I wanted to take my detector to Florida with me when I was working in Key West but never got the chance. I'm not sure there would be any places in Key West to hunt too much as every square inch of that key has stuctures on it except the beach there but I bet it would have been awesome. It's like the only beach there and it always has hundreds of people on it, mostly intoxicated playing in the sun. I bet a guy could pull rings, and jewelry of all types up there plus whatever may have washed ashore...I'll defnetly bring my machine if I go there again that's for sure! Good luck in your hunts! Ross...

[size=large]Hi Ross yes I'm thinking of doing some prospecting with it, and some shore and waters edge with it to see how well it does, see i regular hunt the water down here anyway been doing it for some time, see i belong to the lost Dutchman's mining association and the Gold prospectors of America, and do prospecting on their property.

I spent a couple of days near Ballarat, Victoria, Au in Feb. but only found bird shot, 22 slugs, .177 pellets and assorted other junk so who says Australia has all the gold?

Harold in Fla., I see that you say you are a member of Gold Prospectors of America. I have looked at their website and wondered if it would be worth the $60+ to get rights to their claims. Are there any claims near S. E. Louisiana? Any comment would be appreciated. Digging local clad is ok, but I would rather look for gold.
