      Thanks, a team effort, Matt dug up about a bazillion bullets from this area in the old shooting range before I could even try to use the giant coil to detect deep targets.

      Exactly!
      Every time I watch you on RUclips, I'm like um, forgot to call me?
      Love your videos, I binge watch you dig whenever there is 6 feet of snow outside.
      If you do visit the El Dorado county area, you have an open invite to join us.
      Summer is when we go camping on the river, and always find gold.

      It’s a hydraulic pit though… not the same rules as something you find in the river

      We definitely notice, search, power dig, clear off the vein, and Tiff gets a signal. In solid, hard rock. We need a hammer drill.
      Leave, return and.... Yes.... It was au mazing!
      Videos should be uploaded in a few days.

      Hours upon hours of reading historic records and maps. I spend a very large portion of the winter planning for places to prospect in the summer. Good luck!

      I own both vlf Nox 800 and PI, mostly use PI, the Nox, in perfect soil conditions can find tiny dinks, the 2300 goes underwater, the 2200 finds big deep targets.
