Uncle Ron Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Yo All...I got out a few times this past week, enjoying the incredible AZ weather...I've been doing some research and discovered a new (to me) old placer field ... It was worked pre-1900's and again in the depression era...Ol' Baboo & I started working one very narrow, cat claw choked gulch that had an old prospect up high on a steep ridge ... It produced the eclectic group of targets, including the nuggets which total a bit over one gram altogether...The 1942 S penny came from another nearby wash and was the only target in a half mile long wash....I'm not sure of the dateline on the mini-ball, but I think it's from the 1860- 1880 time period...Maybe some of you know about that...The donkey icon is from a tobacco bag and was common in the 1930's...Anyhow, here's my usual bunch of photos...Cheers, Unc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lvlagnum Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Greetings, Uncle Ron. You might not have stumbled across the Mother Lode quite yet (at least not that you are admitting to us) but I would have been tickled pink at discovering such nuggets and artifacts. As it is, I am green and several other colours with envy of you and your finds. Cheers, lvlagnum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
