DolanDave 703 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Got out to do a little prospecting at Gold Basin Today with a few friends- Leo from Jobe, and Chris, no gold, but did end up finding a 311 gram and a 80 gram meteorite. We came across some nice old timer graffiti with initials dated 1912. Forgot to get a pic, darn it... Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hardtimehermit 512 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Well done, i figure that gold has been here longer so it knows how to hide better! Awesome finds with the meteorites though that is always a great feeling. Keep the good times coming Dave! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DigitalJedi 7 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Pretty sure those aren't meteorites! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DolanDave 703 Posted November 27, 2016 Author Share Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) DegitalJedi, Are you a noob ??? How can you say those are not meteorites.... They stick to my San Francisco rainbow collectible fridgerator magnet, I turned over my toilet tank, and performed the ceramic test, and it left a HUGE brown streak, about as big as my underwear, then I got out my 11 amp 11,000 rpm angle grinder with a type 27 grinding wheel, and ground a large window in the middle of the meteorite, and I can see metal flakes in the 1/2" grind hole.....

Uncle Ron 1,491 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 D.Dave, when you're a beginner like you are, you need to take a lesson from Degi-J ... He's probably found hundreds of space rocks.... or 2 ...??? Cheers, Unc Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dave This really shouldn't be my first post, but I don't even know you, and you done got me busted by the wife. She by the way is out with the girl friends, so no way she was going to know I had been nipping at the bourbon (darn Doc says NO) until I read your response and then painted the Christmas presents stacked on my desk, that the wife asked me to put under the tree.

You might want to quit nipping at the bourbon... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
