I have returned to the Owens Valley for a couple of weeks. Fishing and prospecting. I love it here, so quiet.
Sad that I don't have Tooty with me. Or my late wife Christine.
Places like this keep me going.

I like the detector but it's heavier than my others.
I used bungy cords today but I am going to get the harness to save my back!

I have been away for a few weeks up in the Owens Valley.
While away I made a deal on a CTX 3030, it was waiting for me when I got back.
While testing it out today in the wet sand I found this silver toe ring.
An OK start.
