If you happen to go in a wed/thurs, let me know

If i happen to get a weekend off, I will let you know

You got it man.

I'll be detecting for gold mainly this weekend, but brought my wetsuit in case I see a good spot for sniping

Great call! Sounds quite familiar, as Im looking to take thr AT Pro out to the river this week.

Good luck! Seriously, bring home the Gold!

Which area on the N. Fork? I've only prospected in a super remote spot on the America thus far.

 

[TravyLeigh]

You've got the right idea then lol. I'll be heading up by yankee jims. It's pretty far out there, but should be a good area

Yeah, but we only go there once a year and for a whole week. The trail is a real doozy.

 

[TravyLeigh]

It was. I didn't do any prospecting cause I was alone and had no phone service. Looks good though

Where is Yankee Jim's?

found with whites MXT and 4x6 coil... Wow it's sensitive. But this was only maybe 1.5-2" deep

Nice picker and nicely done. Whites just got some brownie points with me.

 

[TravyLeigh]

Me too, I almost gave up on it too... I was frustrated that I hadn't found any, but once I started hitting the super small birdshot, and the tips of old iron pins, I just knew I had to put my coil over a piece

Just weighed it... .04 grams, .6 grain. That's awesome. I was told the MXT needed a 3 grain piece to be heard... Bull. This piece screamed at me!

Gain was maxed, ground switch was on, all metal (turned iron grunt off), SAT was all the way up to hypersat

 

[TravyLeigh]

I'm gonna keep this piece, my first gold with a detector

Congrats on your first MD gold find.

 

[TravyLeigh]

Ty bro! I'd like to find a few detector prospectors to go with regularly, that would be awesome
