Praying to the gold gods it seems. Your pops is my mentor too.

Dedication to the proposition that there ain't a free range nugget getting away cool-John

Makes me long for the days of wearing a jacket in the morning and not wearing snake gaurdz. Looks like fun, how many years ago?

[boulder dash 1,234]

That was 2011 correct Tom? That was the first day you found a nugget with your gold bug pro. Good memories at the empty pockets patch.

[David Wiseman 19]

Does anyone ever sample those quartz veins?

[nugget108 1,605]

Funny?? Looks FUN. Especially when family and good company is involved. Looks like it was a blast.

I see three Mentors. You guys get the gold!

Looks like that was a great day out there Tom.

[Old Tom 1,060]

It was a lot of fun that day way back up in the hills. I don't think that I had a metal detector yet but I was praying to the gold gods just like the rest of those fools. That was one patch that provided a lot of gold but won't be good again until a hundred year flood rolls some more yeller into it.

Empty pockets patch? Sounds like there's a 1/4 oz to be found, again!

[Swampstomper Al 1,336]

That has to be the longest selfie stick in the world..!

How'd y'all trigger it..?

If you had one more guy standing up hill with a smoking 6 shooter it would look as if there had been an ambush from a claim jumper.

I just don't know of any hobby that is as fun as this one.

[Ahorton10 207]

Looks to me like you guys were napping on the job. Finding all those nuggets will make a guy sleepy for sure.

[Old Tom 1,060]

Hey Swampy, didn't you figure that there might be a fourth devotee there that day? Actually young Tom was taking that pic while the others were groveling in the dust. Somewhere there is a glass vile of nuggets just small enough to fit a hole in one's pocket that's in that wash waiting to be found.

I like Doc's explanation of the whole fracas. Looks like an old time shoot-out all right.

[Andyy 1,051]

Look funny? Absolutely not. That looks like you guys are having a blast. It is seriously a great picture. It's good that you have a great bunch of buddies to share those times with.

[boulder dash 1,234]

I did end up Drywashing that stretch for well over 1/4 oz. Last time I was there all exposed bedrock was covered in overburden.

[Cowkiller 150]

Gee whiz guys looks like you were having a good time! Keep it up.

[MetalliKile 8]

Good pic Tom,

That's what I call getting out the fine toothed comb! It's not called precious metal for nothing. Don't leave even a speck, Mother Nature has plenty more where that came from, and she doesn't need it near as bad as we do.

Love that beautiful dirt!
