highbanker58 10 Posted June 13, 2012 Uncle Ron- Moore Creek was discontinued last year. Ganes Creek is the only game left, and this will probably be the last year, as Doug is selling it. Hopefully someone will set up another pay-to-mine operation. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Allen in MT 101 Posted June 14, 2012 Heres a pic of that nugget...Looking at that piece I would say that it was run over and broke and there is another piece that should go to the right side of this one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silver Dog Doug 7 Posted June 20, 2012 Uncle Ron- Moore Creek was discontinued last year. Ganes Creek is the only game left, and this will probably be the last year, as Doug is selling it. Hopefully someone will set up another pay-to-mine operation. Dave Dave, Steve H. and friends went to Moore Creek 2 weeks ago. I hear that they found 1/2 oz. all total.

Silver Dog Doug 7 Posted June 20, 2012 Wow and look at that grin on his face.... Nice find! Bill, When he came up the hill, I told him that he could not look at me without smiling, and he couldn,t. About 10 minutes be fore he found it, I told him that I would be on the hill too, if I were a little younger. Had i known what was there, I would have crawled up the hill. :thumbsupanim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
