Guest goldstudmuffin Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 We got out yesterday to do a little patch cleaning and to my suprise I found this unusual nugget that looks like a gold tooth it weights 2.2 dwt. I got some before cleaning and after cleaning pictures... hope you enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredmason Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 yes it does look like a tooth...the far right pic looks a bit like a charging elephant...you boys have found some great patches...I am curious about the ratio of times searching for new patches versus time patches found...I would limit this pondering to new areas not extentions of existing patches...not that it matters...new patches or old the gold is very pretty!fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The general vote is a tooth but I really like your comment on the charging elephant. When I first saw the first picture cleaned, I immediately thought of Sponge Bob Squarepants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kinda hard to spend time looking for new ground when the old ground is still producing very nice nuggets. Some of these old patches cover very large areas and would take weeks if not longer to rehunt then every year or two as we have been doing. I think the last new patch we found has been 2 years ago, and it was a good one.That's a really beautiful nugget, Russ ... What you find 'em with? Cheers, UncThanks Uncle Ron,I'm using the 3500 and I like the old solid NF fiberglass 16" round mono Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
