Boorx4 151 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 GREETINGS ALL, HALLELUJAH, THE SKUNK IS GONE!! :woohoo: THAT PESKY CRITTER WAS REALLY DUG INTO MY BACK. IT TOOK 7 TRIPS INTO THE VARIOUS GOLD FIELDS BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GIT RID OF HIM. AND THE THING IS, FINDING IT WAS QUITE A SURPRISE. :whoopie: I DECIDED TO CHECK OUT AN AREA AWAY FROM A VERY, VERY POUNDED PATCH. THIS AREA TURNED OUT TO HAVE VERY BENIGN ROCK. NO QUARTZ, NO HOT ROCKS, NO IRONSTONES, NO TRASH TO SPEAK OF, NO NOTHING. AFTER 20-30 MIN. OF THIS, I GAVE IT UP AND HEADED BACK DOWN TOWARDS THE POUNDED PATCH. A FEW POSITIVE HOT ROCKS BEGAN TO SHOW UP. THEN A TARGET NEAR A PRICKLY PEAR CACTUS. NOTHING SPECIAL, JUST ANOTHER TARGET AND PROBABLY TRASH. AFTER HEARING THE TARGET HIT MY COIL, I PICKED IT UP AND RUBBED THE DIRT AWAY AND WOOHOO, GOLD. THIS LITTLE BEAUTY IS QUITE CHUNKY AND WEIGHTS IN AT 2.4 GRAMS. HAPPY HUNTING TO YOU ALL, BOB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paleface 1 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Bob, Nice little nugget, :whoopie: 1/13th of an ounce, just the right size for a nice petite pendant. What a great way to get rid of the skunk. Now that you have broke the spell, I hope that 2009 is a poke filler for ya...... Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
