Seabeejohn Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Guys and Gals I have a story to tell and I have Boxberger (Jim B) to back it up! Yesterday Jim And I were out by Dome Rock beepin and I Got the sweetest signal you would ever hope to hear. Dug up this nice nugget and could not believe it but in the same dig hole up comes this old time Sheriff badge with a bullet hole in the dead center. If only the badge could talk I'm sure it would have a whopper of a tale to tell. That's my story and I'm sticking with it. :innocent0009: :innocent0009: John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagdoctor1 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Very nice nugget. I found one of those recently myself. It's less than an inch across if I remember correctly lol. BTW any chance I can get a straight answer on what it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sawmill Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Ol cowboy gouged old paint once too many times with that spur. When the fight was over all that was left of the cowboy ,was the fillings from his teeth and one spur rowel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
