24th May 2010 I took my new Minelab GPX-4500 out to find a new patch or two. I left for a month to hunt the desert. I hunted for 20 days with nothing to show but a lot of miles on my feet and blisters. I was driving down a road and looking for a place that looked good to prospect and decided to hit this hill that looked good. I hiked in and before too long I got a signal. I started to go around and around finding nuggets after nuggets. I was tired of digging and started heading back to the truck and went over a ridge when I hit another patch. I worked these patches for eight days and ended up with over 9.5 ounces. I was flying high after those eight days and I love my new Minelab GPX-4500. Rick Herron – Nevada, USA
