Uncle Ron Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Yo All...A few days ago I got back on a patch that's produced some very distinctive gold that looks like it just fell off the vein, but it's very scattered ... I've also found a few meteorites in the area too....This little .6 grammer I found in a 2 foot square red patch of dirt with a couple of "compass cacti" growing out of it...All the rest of the ground around it was a barren grey, but this little red patch popped just this little guy...Bears out the old prospectors' tip of looking for the ring of barrel cactus in a red patch...That tip's got me quite a few nuggets over the years...Cheers, Yer Unc in the Dubyah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikepanner Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 That's a good one, uncle Ron. I have to check out those red clay/dirt areas more, too. Thank you for posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Ron Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 Ron, Nice shooting...I bet there's one more! LuckyLundy You were right, Lucky! ... Not in the patch but 20' downhill in the little gully directly below...Your comment prompted me to go back out this morning...Cheers, Unc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Ron Nice looking gold. That 2100 still sniffing out the yellow stuff. Doesn't look like its traveled to far. Like LL said there's got to be more. Take care, Wes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homefire Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Expert I Are Not, but that had to come from a pocket some place not do dang far away!! I'd head to what ever up hill there is and root around some. :innocent0009: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GARY SMITH Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Hey Ron, remember this picture. Thats ole JJ in there also. Such a shame he is gone now. And who could forget these two outlaws??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Potholes Bob-NM Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 That's a real beauty Ron! I've had a binocular mineral or disecting type microscope for years, and I love to put those beauties on the stage and crank the power up from say 10X to 50x, makes a little nugget look like a damned boulder...LOL!

shep Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Neat pics! Potholes? Potholes who? :innocent0009: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Ron Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 Yeah, Gary, that was out at Rich Hill near Decision Corner...That was the day that JJ found the awesome gold sandwich speciman I dubbed the "Au-reo Nugget"... I think the name stuck...JJ was a hell of a guy...Couple months before he passed on he came out to the house with his wife (girlfriend?) and visited with Dodacious and me...Last time I ever saw him...Those other two, you don't want to meet on a dark patch.... ...Cheers, Ron Hey Ron, remember this picture. Thats ole JJ in there also. Such a shame he is gone now. And who could forget these two outlaws??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
