lon Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I don’t post much but it’s sure slow around here so let’s give it a try. We were able to get out for a short hunt sat . Mike and I. We hit an old patch that has been hammered to death. A few hours into it I dug my first target. After digging a few inches I was sure it’s a nug . Down about a foot out popped a 1.8 gram . We had walked over this nugget a few times in the past and not a whisper . For some reason I used the stock 11in mono coil just to switch things up. Well it paid off in that old patch. Ran into Mike later he already found 2 .Well it’s all about the dollar. His were a little smaller than mine lol. So he got his butt in a twist . Ran off and found two more little ones. Well I did get one of my dollars back that day . The moral of the story is gold is still out there even in well hammered spots.Take careLon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomH Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Hey Lon: Way to go! Glad you were able to brave the heat and find some gold. A nice fat guy at that.

El Dorado Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Always feels great to beep up nugs out of a well pounded patch.......no one gets them all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nugget Shooter Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Good job you guys and I know that patch well and it just amazes me that it keeps giving up the nuggets. Seems a feller can make 3 trips and get skunked then go back again to the same ground and bingo! Nice gold and thanks for sharing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick in Havasu Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I can understand the importance of THE DOLLAR. Years ago when I fished in bass tournaments, two other guys and I had a standing bet. Things got so bad for me the everyone started calling me "Pay Check" Patrick .....
