DolanDave Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Got out to Gold Basin a little late today, started hunting at noon. But ended up getting a 5 gram nugget, and a 45 gram meteorite. Found it in a creek bed, a couple inches down, wedged between some bedrock crevices. Just maybe 50 feet down, I dug down to bedrock with a good signal, only to find a 410 casing, thinking this sounded like the same thing I was not to excited, until I saw a little gleam of Gold !!! Also found an old tobacco tin with a mining claim still in it, to afraid to take it out, it looks like it will just shred to pieces.Dave.P.S. I posted a youtube video on it also here...http://youtu.be/nVkzzL4dhm8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
