Hello
Beings it was first day of spring i think. It was around 80 degrees. Decided to hike in aways to some diggins that i wanted to try. When i got there the mazanita was very thick. I had to crawl most of the time. The area has alot of surface diggings, but didnt find anything. Decided to come back another time and cut some manzanita out of there. Then i can stand up. So headed to a place where i found good gold last winter with my goldbug detector. Never tried fors gold there yet. The area does have some deep gold. After just a short session found 4 pcs. That were deep. I have detected this small knoll a dozens of times before, sideways, up and down, every direction in a grid pattern. Before there was no more signals left but with fors gold, the hill came alive with good targets, lead and gold. Also found a screw on lid to a gun powder tin. You can still read the top. It was from the " hazard powder company " from back east during 1800 s. Was really shocked that there was so many signals , just out of reach of my other detectors in the past. But this isnt the first time fors gold has found
gold at old areas that were previously detected. Have to go back again and detect the other hill nearby and see what happens. Gold weighed 1.5 dwt.
Take care.
