Steve Herschbach Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Hi, We had a short season at Moore Creek this summer due to the recession. But the finds were better than ever - over 86 ounces of gold was found by 28 people in a two week period. There were 12 people the first week and 16 people the next. We have a "day off" between weeks, and so people who go for both weeks get a free day. Ken P from Alaska stayed for two weeks and got that free day, and it really paid off. With a 32.2 oz nugget found not 300 feet from the main camp! Other major finds were a 6.4 oz nugget, a 4.7 oz nugget, a 3.5 oz nugget, and three nuggets that weighed over 2 ounces. Way to go Ken! Moore Creeks largest nugget and one of the largest ever found with a detector in Alaska. Steve Herschbach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaimi Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Aloha, Now that is one "day off" that paid in spades! :woohoo: Wow I can just imagine the stories that will be told over the campfires for a long time with this one. Nice job. Aloha, Stan aka Kaimi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
