[#0000ff]My wife and I did some detector swinging a few spots out by Wickenburg in Arizona, while we lived in Phoenix. Got some decent nuggets in the Congress/ Gold Hill area. Amazing that area still produces some good finds every year in spite of being overrun with treasure hunters.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]We also did a lot of coin hunting around the beach areas of popular lakes. Found all kinds of stuff, like coins, rings, keys, etc. But my wife earned the title of "pop top queen" for her ability to help clean up the beaches from that scourge. She was also a champ at collecting black sand and garnets when we went panning. But she once found a pretty good sized glob of mercury that left behind some gold when we retorted it.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Fun stuff.
