Got out today after a few hours of work on a project that needed my immediate attention. Had my location already picked out. Got there about 2 pm. hit the diggins and within an hour I was on the yellow. I passed on some loud targets at first, but after a few good targets I dug them all. a few of the loud ones surprised me. especially the 12 grammer!!!!! Not sure how many times ive passed on this one, but today I dug it. I blame my laziness on my mediteranian blood. Gpx with the 14" coiltek mono elite

I went back today with the sdc. It found half dozen more, but all together doesnt break a gram. Yesterday seemed like a dream, the gold just kept coming. 19 grams in 3 hrs, just 400 yards from where i found the 2 ounces of gold in quartz. the 2 big ones are the only placer gold I have found in this area. most likely got worn down locally, after being eroded from a nearby deposit.
