John B. Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Hi All While wondering to an old patch I bumped onto a new patch :icon_mrgreen: . I only got 3 nuggets out of it today and a zinging quartz rock fist sized :innocent0002: . My first nugget was about a gram on the surface and my 3rd target to start the day and I moved off and let my Cajon huntin partner play :outtahere: . I strolled over fifty feet or so and turned on again the next target was a 30.2 dwt nugget ( alittle over 1.5 ounces) at a very deep one inch :woohoo: . Then the hunt was on !! I filled my pouch 3 times with lots of tin , lead, nails, wire, brass and assorted crap :angry-smiley-010: . I found some other interesting areas so I spent most of the day wondering leaving my Cajon pal to play :innocent0009: . My last target of the day on my way back to the truck was about 2 foot from my second whopper nugget and is another Goldstudmuffin sized dink ( about a gram ) :tisc-tisc: . Sweatpea had already ordered a battery for the camera :angry-smiley-010: . When I get it if the friggin camera still works I'll post some picks. Until then it's just gonna look like a mud ball :Huh_anim]: . What I can see of it there is a fair amount of quartz attached :whoopie: . So I'll also do a specific gravity and let you folks tell me how much gold I found today :hmmmmmm: !! Happy Huntin John B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John B. Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 Hi Slim Picture in your feeble mind a flatened turd from Nugget ( without the smell) that's about what it looks like so far :Huh_anim]: !! We'll see if the camera works when I get a battery to it :confused0013: !! Or you'll have to wait to see it at an outing or in a museum :innocent0009: !! Happy Huntin John B.
