I wrestled these 3 coins out of the devil him self's pocket. That Tesoro DD Coil and the PulseProbe are blood brothers I tell ya. They work well together. I guess I found a lucky combination. Going to try Monday to hit a long strip at the park that they use every Saturday for a Farmers Market. (see Photo). It's about as long as a football field and about  40 feet wide. Going gold prospecting Saturday with a new found buddy from the RoadRunners.
Carl

Update: Sorry the picture of the park is in my other camera. I will post Monday.

A bad day at gold prospecting or metal detecting is better than a good day at work.

Thanks for the encouragement guys. Going detecting Sat. With a friend to the famous Rich Hill in the Weaver district near Yarnel Arizona. In my absence, BA can tell you all about it. Rich in gold and history. My coil came today. It's a beauty.

Here is the outcome Xavier,

I went with my new found friend Shane into the Wickenburg area first on some of the club claims. Tried the new Double D coil and the VibraProbe. Loaned my new friend a 5 inch coil for his BH. No nuggets found, except for a weird find for me. The Tesoro and the VibraProbe got a signal from bedrock in a dry streambed. We removed the shallow overburden but did not find anything but the signal was still there coming from the bedrock. Using a rock pick and hammer we started busting it up, and after 20 minutes of beating on this extremely hard rock the target was revealed. A natural iron nugget in the shape of a half moon about 2 inches down. Was going to post a pix, but lost the piece somewhere when I got home to photograph it.

Later we went to a claim abut 20 miles North of there for a first time visit. It was good looking area, as there was an active commercial gold operation next to this claim.(and they were working today) We set up the dry washer and ran it for a half hour but had to leave because of pending bad weather and time. We did pan out the drywasher concentrates and found 1 small "picker" and 2 very small flakes. I donated the gold to my friend as I usually do when I take someone out for the first time. This has encouraged us both to take another trip back soon, and arrive very early so we can run the equipment it longer. Above all, we had a good time.

Thanks Xavier. I forgot to mention that when we stopped at the Wickenburg claims, we found an old prospect addit (in other words open trench) and we could see some old ancient river gravel that the miners back in the 20's had been working. It is in an old concreted volcanic mud flow. Pick ax material at best. So we each sifted out a bucket to take home and pan out later. I had forgotten all about until my friend called me back tonite and asked me if I had panned out my bucket of gravel to which I said No and asked him if had done his. He said yes, and I asked if he found anything and he said Oh, yes and said he would send me a pix. So I will post it here and you can tell me if I should get excited. Mind you this is only 1 US gallon of sifted gravel to 1/16th inch
