Prospecting with the AT Gold

[Todd Pickens]

I went out again to try and find some gold with the AT Gold. I was on a private ranch today
that was one big quartz dome. I have panned gold from every draw around this hill, but still no
nuggets. I ran my machine in AM with sens. set with just one bar off. My GB ran from a low of 36
up to 75. The machine ran smooth and quiet. I realy thought that there was more iron here but I
guess not. This hill is a big dome of quartz shot right through schist, there is also some hickory sandstone all around and it is loaded with iron. I only dug 4 targets today and all were lead.
Here are some pics of what the ground looks like.

Sure looks like elephant country.
You would think you would hit pay-dirt somewhere around there.

That sure does look promising. Is there any mining history around that area or Geological surveys that might give more information?

Looks like the AT Gold is performing as it should. Keep swinging that coil. I smell gold

The Spanish were here mining Silver and Gold and there was an active mine back before WWII.
There is no real modern exploration being done because everything is private property.
I know that there is one active mine west of here and they are leaching gold out of the Hickory Sandstone. There is gold here you just dont have many places to go look.
