Hey Everyone,
Hope you all are well.
Still very hot and dry here. The hours between 11 am and 8 pm are near impossible.
Saturday morning I put down a couple quarts of water and quart of sport drink and still suffered from dehydration sickness.
It was my fault for staying out till noon...and not putting down a couple more quarts of the wet stuff. Eventually I'll learn.
Seen a few gold finds on here recently and so that was the order of the day. Think of a place that I've hunted but think there might be some yellow stuff hiding.
So Saturday morning stop for a taco and next to the register is this 5$ bill taped with a sign that says "FAKE" and so i look at it for a second and offer to trade for my own five bill and after a bit of hesitation the cashier accepted. Too bad they marked it up with a fake bill pen...found some silver and didn't even have to dig. Surprise.

Well i get to my spot, jewelry mode on and within a couple minutes a clear bell and out pops out a wheat cent...I've gone over this ground two maybe three times already. Never has it been this barren though...a few tufts of dry grass and dirt. So I'm diggin lots and start finding wheat cents that aren't bell toning....just making a hard beep. hrmm...keep diggin and out pops '50 rosie...Surprise. Again, i've already gone over this same ground on at least two previous occasions. I'm lookin for gold.
I keep diggin and pickin up lots of slaw and no yellow...its gettin late and really heating up so i make a line for the exit which kind of intersects where i started and i get a good bell quarter signal shallow. A silver quarter first of the year two or three inches deep. But I've already gone over this ground a couple times. Surprised! needless to say i hit this spot hard pulled out some more beep wheats and exceeded dehydration threshold...

To add i would like to say that this is one of my draws to this hobby.....not the getting dehydrated part. Whether you go out looking for something specific or think that you've searched an area hard that by putting yourself out there your chancing an opportunity to be surprised and happening upon these surprises is FUN.
Enjoy the pics and happy hunting!
