my mining partner got a new 6k. took him out for a 4 hour hunt on a bit of unclaimed ground today.
this wash is rich but the ground is very hot, hard to detect and has lot of black sand. i lost one small nugget i dug in a black sand pile.
would like to dry wash it, but the access is really bad.
he got the one on the left and mine right, 3 of them in one crack.
just short of a gram. when we got back to the sxs, the dam cows are licking the hood of my Honda.
plastic must taste good to them?
all in all a fun day.
my 6k now has about 70 short hunts on it 2 of them skunks, very happy with the unit.

Congratulations on the nuggets and on getting gold with your fresh detector.

At least cows only licked your vehicle. Horses are the worst--they'll scrape the paint to bare metal with their teeth!

All the best,

Lanny

today we got to the hunting area only to find i forgot my battery for the 2nd time.
so frustrating. anyway my partner had his 6k and i did some finger pointing and digging for him.
he got his biggest one so far at 2.3 grams.
that 3 nuggets for 3 trips for him.
very short hunt.
should be a good patch.
