Guest goldstudmuffin Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Hi All, I had some luck today prospecting in a new area. :woohoo: I tried to get one of my pals to go with me but he was to busy! :hmmmmmm: I found three nice nuggets, two are specimans. The biggest one weights 8 dwt and the second ones weights 5 dwt, and the last one weights 1 dwt, for a total 14 dwt. I guess I'll have to clean it out all by myself. :headphones: Here's some pictures. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tony Teixeira 0 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 It amazing to see how gold looks coming from different areas, those look awesome. I also like your control box cover, is that made out of leather? Tony Teixeira Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MT-AZ-HP 8 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Russ I like those gold/quartz nuggets. they are my favorite nuggets. I'll bet your partner is kicking his rear end for not going with you. Harry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest goldstudmuffin Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Thanks guys!!! Yep the control box cover is leather, I think I bought it from Doc about ten years ago. I like the leather because it won't pick up catus spines like the foam covers do. Here's a better picture for those who are wondering about the color of the quartz.

Guest goldstudmuffin Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Hi John and All, Thanks Guys, Steve they are AZ nuggets! John, You may have found 2 of them before me but the 8 penny weighter was way to deep for a goldmaster :icon_mrgreen: , even with the big foot coil or whatever it is! :Huh_anim]: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MT-AZ-HP 8 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Russ,Just what I thought John's AZZ :innocent0009: :innocent0009: is all blue and black from kicking the shitz out of himselfs. That quartz dont weigh diddly crap. Harry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
