O'MEGA GOLD !

[KOB]

Back story : Beginning early last year , I did some serious research on a few old places. A few that I've never hunted before but close to other spots I have. Hunted over a 4 day period and recovered about 3.5 oz of Gold. All of which were never posted.

So last month and after more research I returned. But also hit some bays and lakes. Hunted 10 days straight. Anywhere from 4-10hrs each day. Spent a couple nights in my van on the productive spots I couldn't leave until they were torched. To the point where I ended up getting sick and cut my trip short. Took a full week to recover. I wanted to stay longer.

Hit many areas , some were barren and others , well....

These pics are from 2 of those days. The good stuff : 4oz silver and a little under 300 gr of GOLD. The biggie being a vintage solid 18k very rare watch , which is over 200 gr. Been doing alot of research on it. Approximately 400 made , estimated 80 known as many were melted over the last 50yrs. Problem is the guts are damaged and might cost me $4-5k to get repaired , IF parts can be found. Auction estimates are $35k+ from what I've been told....I dug a silver chain about 12" down that blew my ears off. Rescanned the big hole and got a large low tone another 6" down off to the side. I'm certain if I didn't dig that chain , I wouldn't have heard the watch by itself due to the conditions.

Not everything is shown of my 10 days. Missing the normal trash , some coins , some Gold and only showing the inside watch band.

Thanks Earl. Can't remember when I posted something. Don't get out as often as I used to , but still go. Van is good for staying a few nights when needed. Seen Kix a few times. I know they still tour. Of course I like their hit "She dropped me the bomb."

Those are some great finds that definitely show your research pays off.

Hey, Kob had to "balance out" some of your posts, to represent OUR coast for-a-change. Tsk tsk (but no, I won't ask him to marry me)

Thanks ! Gotta rank up there in one of my most memorable hunts. And definitely the most $ , only due to the price of Gold now. Still waiting on parts. There is one that sold at an auction house for around $50k. But that was a specimen that had the box , papers , all that stuff. This is far from that. And I'm not going to scrap it.
