adam Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 At the beginning of the summer Boulderdash and I were beeping a nice gully he found. Many little nuggets were located by us with the Gold Bug II`s , but this wire piece was one of the coolest finds.Only weighs in at 1.7 grains 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Found Dutchman Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 That is a really cool looking piece Adam. Bill found one like that sometime ago too. Wonder if it's from the same area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boulder dash Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 It's so rare that out of the 2 + oz recovered from there we have not seen any other wires of gold. Mother nature is awesome in its design. What a great piece glad you still have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Found Dutchman Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Wire gold is fairly common at Copper Basin, if you know where to look. Years ago, some guy in the Bradshaws used to have permission from Phelps Dodge to dredge on their claims and was finding some really nice stuff....and lots of it. Sold them to mineral collectors and getting a pretty penny for them back then. Wonder what those would bring these days..Liberty, Washington is another area where wire gold is fairly common.
