Uncle Ron Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Yo All...Spent a few hours gridding the ridge top Monday... Discovered that in areas where shallow red dirt covers caliche, they be nuggies...Got three for a total of 2.4 DWT ... All three were down about 6 to 8 inches embedded in the top of the caliche...Got'em with my 4500 and good ol' 17" Nugget Finder mono fiberglass coil ... Before I cleaned them up all three had a thick layer of caliche on one side ... Together with the larger one I found Saturday, the total comes to 6.5 DWT ... Sure is fun hunting that ridge top ... Cheers, Unc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvchris Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Nice lil patch Ron!So many folks get stuck in the washes, some of the largest nuggets/best patches I've found have been on the hill sides/tops and ridge lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Furness Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Great finds there Ron ... I'm with nvchris ... I do the washes but prefer the hillsides and tops. Guess that gets back to my success with whitetail deer hunting. Never shot much in the swamps but the hillsides and especially the tops are very successful for me.But I digress ... go get the rest of the family!Mike F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
