Sonoran Dave 2,148 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Got an early start this morning and headed into the desert with Tom and his dad. My legendary skunk streak continues, but Tom scored 3 little ones! I even followed right behind Tom and cleaned up all the birdshot he missed with my gb2...still nuttin'. The weather was great for this time of year, so I can't complain. Here are the pics I have. Including Tom mining his vein 7 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No books ever told me about that ! adam,....A majority of the nuggets that I find up on / around the Lynx Creek come out of a soft-grey-to greenish (mixed with Clay) host rock that is decomposed and easy-to-scrape with a screwdriver. The other type of host rock around here is a brown-mixed-with-red colored rock; is very hard; is just full of iron,.... and you can't even put a coil over it to within 2" of it's surface without it blowing your ears off. Nothing can null it out, and you can't hear any signals of gold, as it sound like a massive Hot Rock,....which-it-is. Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gary Gosh thats great , Those pictures of lynx creek above are not what I imagined, looks like desert or somewhere.I would have thought there would be pine trees or something. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
