Went back out to the same area where I found the two gold the previous day. There were a couple of cuts in a few spots but they didn't have much in them. I tried gridding some areas but wasn't getting as much as yesterday. Ran into a couple of other friends and fellow hunters but it seemed everyone was coming up kinda shot on finds. I was on my way back down to my car and try another spot and I got a nice solid 11 on the Equinox. I had a feeling it was good, it SOUNDED good! After a little digging, I was very happy to see what was in the scoop! Nice 3.3 gram 10K with 28 little diamonds on it! Diamonds all tested real. I ended up hunting there for a little bit longer but wasn't getting much more than a bit of clad. I moved to another spot but it was pretty bald there and I just found a bit of clad. Another good day, hope I can repeat again soon!

Very, very nice! Thank you for being an inspiration to the rest of us. Nice to know that "it can happen" even if we weren't the recipient this time around. Thank you for the photos.
