Hello all, I got out today for a few hours and was able to snag three crumbs before the heat topped out at about 109 degrees. I was working a dry creek bed and had to chisel and beat the pieces out of the bedrock. I was using the GB Pro with ten inch coil. TRINITYAU/RAYMILLS

Nice find Ray. Wish I had Pine trees surrounding me when its 109 degrees. Here in southern Arizona this is what we get to wonder through when dial hits in the triple digits. Although our desert have a different kind of beauty.

Nice few hours. Looks like Copley greenstone. It doesn't degrade like some of the other local meta-volcanics so it catches the gold and keeps it longer. I've been detecting in the Balaklala rhyolite lately and it will crumble in your hands.

Thanks for taking us along. Great looking bedrock. Makes me pine for some digging, but the Aspen fire has us locked out of our claims. I just pray they can get it out without anyone getting hurt, and before it burns our gear up

Good on you for pulling some more "sassy" gold. Still learning from the good people like you and watching those vids I picked up from you. Thanks for the great pics and given us all something to keep trying for, lord knows we need some inspiration once in a while..lol

Your "crumbs" look like monster gold nuggets to me! Wish I could find some of those instead of "Flyspecks" I find! Hope it cools off for you, but your hunting stays red hot!
