Hit the trail

Wow! The weather is great.The heavy rain always cleans years of debris from the slopes. The poppies are blazing orange and snakes are hungry.
Spring time and water falls off of iron mountain.I will be scraping around.

Are GPR's an imagining device ? Are GPS units position"detectors"
Are the use of dowsing rods.doodle bugs,and tossing the bones defined as verboten?
Would a "coin shooter " be stopped ?I hope not.

The largest gold nugget found in Arizona placers was in the Salt river.
Many sand,gravel,and cement operations had heavy metal recovery equip. in use .The big floods during the 80's filled in and wiped out the deep pits that searched for the pay streak.
