mn90403 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I have been to the Q several times without finding a nugget. I went back this past Friday and missed again and again on Saturday.Today I got a mostly gold specimen that totals 4.6g or 3dwt. It was down about 8-9 inches and I was using the 11 inch Commander with a 5000.I'm cleaning some of the caliche off of it now so later I'll post another picture. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the Keystone but Coors Banquet Beer certainly is ... gets all its power from those pure, cold Rocky Mountain waters! BD is certainly a gold gettin machine!
