frank c 969 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Got out for a few days camping an shootin, turned up this SwissCheese Nugget 5.4 DWT. at 15 inches deep.Invisible Gold ??? Not to my Minelab.This piece has more holes in it than a piece of swiss. I couldn't believe it weighed what it does.Ya have to see it live to see all the holes and its porosity.Very rough an NARLY BY the way I dug a 1 gallon old rusty can about 3 feet away from it first along with another small piece of rusty metal before I dug this nugget.What if ................I said "BULLHOCKEY" I ain't diggin anymore of this trash here and moved on ?????If it beeps dig it right !!!???If you don't "your're the fool right" ???!!!

Patrick in Havasu 394 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I can see your buffalo MacGump. If I squeeze me eyes, the third one looks like a "Kokopelli". Flute facing left.Or maybe too many beero's?Whatever a guy might see, it's sure a beauty.Patrick..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

garimpo 2,301 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 A good Sunday morning Frank....instead of speaking in grams about the beauty it would be more understandableif you spoke in how many "cans" later you found it,ie: " I snagged this baby at 17" and 14 cans later" .....then wecould all relate....hope this is a good day after the come down from the "golden high"....
