adam Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) Ever feel like something is watching you ?This handsome group was about 40 feet from my truck checking out my camp.I saw two rattlesnakes this weekend.. One was way to close for comfortThe other in a road..Anyway, other than the Marty Stouffers Wild America this weekend.. I had some luck of the irish with me on St. Patricks day when I scored a nice 5.71 gram beauty along with a 1/2 gram clunker, and a slug of natural copper. Today I managed a .17 gram dinkinator All said & done a grand total of 6.41 grams for the weekend. Edited March 19, 2013 by adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldfinger Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Ever feel like something is watching you ?This handsome group was about 40 feet from my truck checking out my camp.At least they weren't horny.Nice nugs though. The copper slug looks somewhat unnatural to me. Too smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are placer copper nuggets now, as they have been tumbling down the gullies since who knows when.Here`s a shot of the copper cleaned up a bit.

Goldfinger Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Yup Steve, all natural. They are placer copper nuggets now, as they have been tumbling down the gullies since who knows when.Here`s a shot of the copper cleaned up a bit.After seeing pictures of copper nuggets from Michigan and some of John B's finds, I thought yours looked a little odd. Nice specimen in any case. There's more in that area I would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
