First Gold of 2011 on First Hunt of 2011

Howdy Folks!
I wanted to get out for some serious hunting but got saddled with unexpected errands.
Not that I'm complaining considering I received a check I wasn't expecting today. So I ran around paying bills before I could get my coil to the soil.

Anyhow, I only hit a couple of places before it started getting dark. We had snow over the New Years Holiday and it got darn cold too. But Colorado is the sort of place that can turn around on a dime. Today was in the mid 50s, and I couldn't wait to get some machine time.

Because I didn't have much time, my clad count is frightful meager. I'd be depressed about that too if it werent for my best find of the day, which turned out to be a 10k gold ring with a wee little red stone in the center. I also found a cheapie chain, a star shaped button, somebody's nail clippers, a Canadian Nickel, an RTD token and a jewelry item I cant quite figure out. It looks like it might be a bracelet or anklet, but there doesn't seem to be any way to fasten it onto the usual appendages.

My coin count, meager as it is:
6 Quarters = $1.50
NO NICKELS:huh:
10 Dimes = $1.00
19 Pennies = $0.19
Total = $2.69
Coin Count = 35 coins.

Hope it will be nice out there for the next couple of days, because I really am itching to get out and find some terrific stuff. The knee pained me some but I managed to ignore it. The ribs still hurt some, but not enough to hamper my progress.

Blessings,
M-Taliesin

Re: First Hunt of 2011 = First Gold of 2011

Any hunt that takes your total count from zero and puts you on the board is :clapping: Great little gold ring too. Not a long hunt, but a great start I think thumbsup01

Or an unexpected check :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Congrats on your gold ring :happydance01: Wonder what the red stone is? Garnet? Yeah, that charm anklet looking thing is odd, w/out clasps... maybe supposed to stick those balls in a couple button holes- on a woman's blouse :thinkingabout: Perhaps you should ask Hillary or Laura lol

Howdy Chris!
You know how things are for the Colorado Gold Slinger. Every once in awhile, I find a bit of gold.
Just seems to happen occassionally!

good start for the new year Mel I wouldn't mind seeing a check come out of the blue too, with gold to boot <: <: well done!!!
 
Re: First Hunt of 2011 = First Gold of 2011

Congrats... looks like a very nice 1st hunt. :clapping:

Several nice pieces to add to your collection.

I have a tough time finding that gold... but I'll keep trying until there are no more pull tabs to dig in my area. lol

Howdy Pard!
That gold is there somewhere. All you gotta do is get your coil over it, and dig it up!
I should heed my own advice. Get myself out and hunt.
That gold ring yesterday only served to whet my appetite for finding more.
After all, I ain't found any since yesterday!

Blessings,
