I would have made them pay me in gold!
‘Cept’n he needed cash to pay them medical bills and livin’ expense's I guess. I know a guy that has found over a half million in nuggets over the last four years metal detecting down along the border.
Lol, I’ve been down there quite a few times and all I ever come up with is bullets and trash. The say’n goes, ten percent of the people find ninety percent of the gold. You can see which side of that say’n I’m on! I’ve been doing it for years and I can tell you it’s true, some guys are just lucky as shit consistently.
There’s a lot of ground to swing that 5”-17” coil over down there so bein’ out there consistently is key and a big part of it. Just as much so as knowing what to look for. I’ve done alright, but not near well enough to cover my expenses by any means. Nonetheless I’ve enjoyed the shit out of exploring the desert outback even when get’n skunked.
