microsniper Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) Found a lil dinker this morning and proceeded to spend the whole day getting scratched up with cats claw cause I thought I would just get in there where no one else would go... well that didnt work out very well for me so... decided to call it. On my way out, I had to stop and try one more spot before dark... glad I did... picked up the other dink, and then the flat one... then this flattened out piece that is all folded up ... really cool.. I was tempted to open it up and flatten it out but decided not too. it must be over an inch long just rolled up like a scroll..(1.9g) and then.... the fishook finish... WTF?.... soooo far away from the nearest fish.. (not even close to a wash!) amazing what you find out there...

TomH Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Nice gold! WTG on the finds. Nice color. From the varied items ive found out in the hills, I think people in airplanes throw stuff out the window to make us wonder Oh and dont forget the bud light can in the middle of no where also.

LukeJ Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Nice finds today !! The fish hook is a mindboggler.... In the past, before I started finding gold... I had considered bringing some fishing weights with me just for the laughs and to see how long it would take one to show up on any of the gold forums. I never did it, but it still makes me chuckle a bit to think about the excitement we've all shared only to find it's a piece of trash.... ....or maybe a fishing weight, 300 miles from any water. WTG on the gold !! Luke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Tom Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Hey Sniper, I found a fish hook in a fairly large dry wash one time also. I think that it bounced out of a jeep or off road vehicle that someone also used for fishing. Then again it might have been a fly or streamer that came off someone's fishing hat they were using at the time. Nice yeller there. I wouldn't unfold it, it might make a nice pendent as is.

Hoser John Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Nice nuggets for sure. I see folks out detecting with hooks in their hats as fishermen also and it a thang they do sometimes. NEVER understood as dangerous sharp objects attached to a hat is just not smart thing to do-John 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nugget108 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Nice nuggets. They are really dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Au Seeker Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Nice gold, good job on bringing them home! Looking at the size of the fish hook and the thread wrapping near the eye I'm guessing it was a "fly" before being lost and I concur that it was most likely on a hat at some point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Ron Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Very nice nuggets...I found a fish hook years ago at LSD on a hill side. Clueless how it got there. Cheers, Unc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpuisis Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 About 3 years ago I found a 2 ounce pyramid shaped sinker on one of the Quartzite Metal Detector Club's claims. It was about half way up the side of a mountain with no reason for being there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank c Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Fishing supplies could be from some sort of snare type traps years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-2 Charlie Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Maybe them fish hooks or some sort early warning trip lines rigged up for them with Gold fever . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 It sure looks like an Eagle Claw Snelled bait fish hook. Size #6 that fishing line still hasn't deteriorated. Probably 1940's vintage just sayin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
