chuck,tx2 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I found this 1 Oz.nugget at Rye Patch NV.on 9-11 I thought it was my lucky day, but It would MARK the end of my days of chasing the golden Rainbow & bring great sadness to me & the USA. Am thankful for the years of good gold & great friends I found at RP. Good Luck & Good Gold. Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck,tx2 Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 Nice nugget, So why aren't you hunting any more ?Jim, had some hart problems there at RP, Long drive home, Dallas,TX. Old age 83, Grace refuse to go with me to dig & cook, I didn't thing that would be problem but gave it a go at the Trigo MT. Last sept. Fell about a mile from ATV. & 20 from camp, at first I thought I would just lay there & dye & get it over with, after a short uncomfortable time I decided that was not a good choice, If I hadn't had a short handle hoe for digging I think I would still be there. I think I could find another one or two but you get the drift, Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I caught the gold fever in the Arkansan RV.there at Grant,every pan had specks of gold that I spent hours picking out of the pan with a tooth pick, This Texas boy who had never seen raw gold came down with a bad case or fever that I have spent years trying to cure, Have really enjoyed the search but is terrible when the search is over.
