I scored 5 out of 6 but I did have a claim near Stanton. Also, we don't like to factor fuel and tire damage into the equation either.

Gold mode. You have a meteorite strewn field not far from you. Once you get a detector, head there! https://fernlea.tripod.com/holbrook.html

Gold, meteorites, coins, etc. https://nuggetshooter.ipbhost.com/

The Equinox has a gold mold and detects it on the same par as the Gold Monster. Placer gold in central AZ is 22kt. It's fairly simple to smelter into 24kt since it has such a low melting point. Most gold dealers will buy it.

My 2nd year big game hunting.

One of the best guys on here. Buy with confidence.

What timing. Had one buzzing around my house last night. On one hand I think they're cool, but it was also annoying and an Epeeper.

LoL Little San Domingo

Wow great buck, will be tough to beat.

Driving through the southern part of unit 8 on day we found for outdoor privys. Wish I still had pics of it, a buddy made a toilet out of a walker. Then added a tp roller, beer holder, American flag, magazine rack, etc. Somebody drunk crapped all over it and it was abandoned.

Interesting area... groomed campsite with composting throne

Yeah I hadn't stopped at the Cleator Bar and Yacht Club in years. I hardly recognized the place.

Yup. Abandoned mine pics is the Golden Turkey Mine about a 30 minute hike to Cleator.. https://westernmininghistory.com/mine-detail/10102450/

Last clue... Drank a few beers after prospecting and thought I was hallucinating.

Getting colder. Abandoned dynamite vault

Jeff William makes learning geology fun. Different detectors for different detecting. The Equinox 800 is perfect for coinshooting and artifact digging. Tells you with a high degree of certainty what your digging while canceling out the non-ferrous junk. I borrowed an Equinox 800 from Minelab dealer Bill Southern a couple years ago. Had more of a learning curve than I had time to invest.. I have a Whites Eagle II I use for coins and artifact hunting. Bought it off Craigslist for $200. The $1200 price on that E 800 seems a little high. Minelab offers a 15% discount for vets. Here's a little piece of gold bearing rock I found today with the Minelab Gold Monster.

You know you have made some resolutions for the 2022 hunting season. Share them here and when your goal(s) are achieved, say I told you so. I've made three: 1) Obtain the best fitness possible. 2) Called in Mt Lion using a hand call. 3) Archery buck.

I'll have to try one when this phone takes a dump, been expecting that. Made one at home for my previous phone and it worked good.

After several days, revisited the area. Found my arrow and also found I had misjudged the bucks distance by 22yards. Just flat out missed and the wily buck used the terrain to give me the slip. Spent Thursday in 44a then over to 20c. Not a deer moving in either unit but tons of fresh sign in the later. Any updates?

Fabulous pics, thanks for sharing.

Adding wildlife photography to my list.
