Howdy all,
I was supposed to be busy today, and unable to hunt. Well the phone rings at 8:00 am and suddenly I have the whole day. So I start out at the field that kicked loose the last 10k gold ring. After 2 hours I get nothin but clad and trash. So I get the wild hair to take a road trip and see good ole Vanoldschool. We meet up on his side of the bridge and head to an elementary field we both have wanted to hunt. I was gettin a bit of clad and trash but nothin good. So I start workin toward Van and get a good high hit. Its wasn't deep so I pinpoint with the pro-pointer and lift the turf to expose a nice silver ring. I call Van over and he says he ain't surprised. So we work this field a bit more with no more keepers to show. So we hit the road to another field. This field I have hunted before but not for a couple years. It has kicked loose lotsa gold in the past and silver as well. 3rd target into the field and bam. I again lift the turf back and see a ring. It was shallow enough to still be in the roots. I again call Van over and we speculate if its gold or not. I figure due to the low vdi that its probably gold. Van agrees, and I pluck it free. Sure enough its 18k. After a bit more hunting and a few more junk rings we call it good. Van got his awesome token at the end of the hunt on the way to the car. I got a pic of him swingin his XLT across the field. It was already a good day. But since I still had daylight and wasn't ready to call it quits. Off I went again. This time to my gold field. This field has been more than good to me in the last week or so. I almost didn't hunt it due to the amount of people walking the track with their kids. As soon as I started recovering targets I get the normal idiotic remarks. Like " If ya find a million bucks I get half" Or " If ya find a diamond ring I lost it". So I figure my hunt will be short tonight just to avoid the meatheads. Right as I was talkin myself into leavin, and how good supper was goin to taste.I get a good tone. I reach in and feel what I think is junk. I pull it out and feel somethin give. I look in my hand and see gold. Immediately I know I broke the chain. So I begin the tedious job of freein the chain from the soil. Well turns out I didn't break the chain just the charm clasp. I snap a quick pic and head to the car. The whole way home I was hopin it was real, and I was right. Its marked 18k, and 750 and acid tested good at 18k. So my day was awesome. Sorry for the long post, but I am still excited. Thanks for lookin and luck in the hunt.

Well those are awesome finds except for the first picture you should throw that one back lol. Thats all van talks about when he calls me is "man you have to check out what juju found today".
 

Maybe it's time for you to take a break and leave something for the other guys in your area? :dontknow:

Another batch of great finds! :thumbsup:

I definately think you got the Midas touch for all the
gold goodies you found this week. Pretty soon you won't
need to pimp your ride.... you can just buy the one that
you like!! Congrats on a fine week so far.
Gold Nuggets :hello:
 

You've been on a roll with the gold. I guess it's getting time for me to raid Tacoma again. Very nice!
 

Great post, but you seem to be writing this same story everyday lately. A good MDing story must contain frustration, adversity, failure, and hopelessness,.... like mine always do.. ;)

You are on a roll.. Enjoy and Congrats!
