BeachBumm Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) Was relic hunting in an old 1850's mining camp where I recently found a Flying Eagle Cent and heard what I thought was going to be a nickle and out comes this 6.0 dWt nugget, what a surprise on the CTX. Went home and got the GPX-4500 and thoroughly checked the area with no luck, maybe a miner's drop.

Nugget Shooter Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Nice find, but now ya went and let the cat out of the bag... I have found the 3030 is perfect for hunting very trashy washes and old mining camps as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
