Nugget Shooter 4,616 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Went out exploring yesterday in an area I kind of forgot about over the years until a friend reminded me last year and we got some gold together, went back in yesterday and tried a bit higher up and got these 2, both were about 7 inches down wedged in the bedrock. Took a little work because bedrock was solid, but got them.... 15 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alwaysdirty 914 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Thanks for sharing Bill! You guys are keeping the hope alive for me as I haven't been out hardly all year, finally was able to make plans for this weekend and then got horrible food poisoning Friday night. So next weekend it is, if it doesn't rain or i have to go into stinkin work again... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LowPoint 1,259 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Hey Bill, nice look'n nuggets. I know what you mean about "lots of hiking". Is it my imagination, or are we having to hike in a lot farther to get to gold...Or is it just me (as I can relate to this)??? Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Furness 1,515 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Gary ... Distance is the same ... only variable we are all getting older! LOL! Kidding of course ... yes we are having to go further out to find easier ... not I did not say EASY gold ... Still finding a few pieces here and there on pounded ground but few and far between. Get a good pair of hikers and go forth into the wildernees!!! Mike F Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Swampstomper Al 1,336 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Way to go, Bill.. A nice reminder that bigger isn't always necessarily better.. The ones that make you really work to get at are always among the most memorable finds.. Swamp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
