LowPoint Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I know that our official gold prospecting season hasn't begun as yet, but thought I would go out and "eye ball" a wash today that had had some pretty good monsoon rains hammering it last month. I didn't take my detector, nor any of my other prospecting goodies this time. Just mainly walked the wash checking out the exposed bedrock sections. I thought I would do an update on my "naked-eye"-gold-recognition capabilities, and as such, positioned myself on my hands and knees eyeballing the cracks and crevices of the exposed bedrock. I was out there for a few minutes doing this, and was only able to find this one, so I guess I can say: eye to gold recognition----CHECK and GOOD!!! I hadn't brought any kind of container with me, so I had to use a plastic credit card folder that was in my wallet to hold this "Massive-nugget" until I got it home,--improvise. I'd say that it is a bit smaller than the head of a safety pin. Gary 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nugget Shooter Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Yep it all ads up and I have been patiently crumb chasing close to home in old patches waiting on cooler weather to hit some new areas I have been eager to try.

Heck I was a flower and fines chaser for many years until I gave up my drywasher and #2 shovel. Just tears me up to dig all day now so I stick with beeping 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's good enough for Liz n Walt in Ozland should be plenty good in Aridzona too.. I've seen 'em both in vids uncover nice values using blow tubes only..
