GeoJack Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Can't really touch or move it, very fragile. I thought it was foil at first. Not much quartz on it. Going in the box without cleaning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoser John Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 YAHOO retired and you'll never be so busy in your entire life. Great delicate picker,hope it holds up,do ya have a ultrasonic cleaner? Know anyone with one ?as best for delicate species as eliminates most scrubbing. Anyhow rev up that engine as NOW your life really begins-congrats-John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen in MT Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Nice, If that's what you get when you retire then I'd go back to work for a day and retire again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeoJack Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 John, ran it through one cycle in the ultra sonic cleaner. I'm thinking some Glass Etch will be less stressful to use as one piece is hanging on by a very small thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geojack, if your ever down in Mariposa visiting your family stop by the shop and say " hello" and bring some gold for me to look at.... Will do, I have a few to bring down. May be going to the Foresthill event this weekend so possibly next weekend. I'll stop by and hopefully you still have that killer nugget to show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilishjim Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Nice piece Geo beats a gold watch any day. Congrats on another Bday and the retirement. Now you will find out what retirement is !!! Us retired folks never get a day off and the Sun always goes down before you're ready to call it a day. But a lot of fun can be stacked into one day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Dorado Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Sure is nice to have everyday be a Saturday! I'll be at the Foresthill Heritage Day Festival and State panning Championships....will mostly be at the Gold Sales Table.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
