frank c 969 Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 This one may not be ODD to some but I've been detecting for many years an never hit on one like this.Paper thin and detected in the top 6 inches of some loose sluff in a wash. Its the type that could easily run right over the riffels of a drywasher and back into the ground.A VLF nugget I thought but I hit it with the P.I. an a 16" coil !!Might have just been the case for somebody years ago that didn't detect their tailings when drywashing.Didn't mean to deface ol Rosevelt with a cauliflower ear !!! Its just the way I shot the pic. hasn't been cleaned yet.A neat lil piece though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Au Seeker 3,153 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Nice cornflake Frank, as we call them here in this part of the country!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Old Tom 1,101 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Frank I think that I'd call that my 'Corn Flake' nugget. Tom and I have found some that thin but not as big in diameter. The ones that we found were formed in grey shist and when facing upright the PI will go right over it and the GB Pro picks it up later. Laying flat it is a screamer tho.

frank c 969 Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 I have detected some genuine "cornflakes" but they were all much larger than this.So I guess this must be a "mini" cornflake, or a son of a cornflake.I do know from lots of testing that these "cornflake" or flat pieces are very prone to actually "floating" over the riffles and along the riffle board to exit back to mother nature. Because of their shapes and thinness its like goin over the rapids !!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Caliche Chris 180 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Here's mine, I almost sold this piece in my last batch until I looked at it under a lens. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Caliche Chris 180 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Another one of my best, I always though it looked like a raisin. Looks awesome under zoom too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Relichunter2 129 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Here is a cool one...did not find it...but still nice to look at. Its a late 1800's crystalline wire gold nugget. stick pin. I guess the story to these was the miner would wear this on Sundays if he had a day off or had a special event to got to. Depending on how successful he was the larger the nugget it would be. This one ways in at around 7 grams. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rimshot 181 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) Now can you imagine that slowly breaking off into tiny pieces and finding it in wash below? Sure explains a lot of things for sure. Great pic Bill! Edited March 4, 2014 by Rimshot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
