Considering you found all this gold up on the bank, or on that slanted-bench One nugget was found in that high bench pictured. Its the smooth rounded one in the picture.

No ferrite rings, funky harness systems, GPS`s, Spot messenger`s, pin pointer`s, or guns involved. Just a traditional hunt, with interchangeable coils, and light weight old technology. High benches with cemented gravels have gold.....Boulder dash proves that here A nice 2 + grammer shown here stuck in those ancient rocks... It was a chilly weekend with a brief clear nightscape..... The goodies ! Over 22 grams of fine gold nuggets were found .... Enjoy ! Please give a thumbs up , as i`m in much need of some forum recognition HOW the Hell did them ol timers miss all that gold, they had a spur an a buckle, I just don't understand it ! Theres yer recognition and heres yer Congrats, another fine adventure you 2 have accomplished ! Wish I was closer to yer ages than 70 ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Very sweet nuggie. Bob Mike this thread is not about me. to be clear, I wasn't there when he found these nuggets. but I may put up a new photo of me on one of my threads or maybe in my avatar. Boorx4 I agree about that nugget. I can just invison the gold rich pregnant solutions dripping off of it as they peculate through the rock and line up and bond to form their crystalline structures into a nugget. That is a very nice nugget! Adam/BD. AzNuggetBob 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AzNuggetBob 1,553 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Adam I agree about LSD. Its been good to me but has sent me home skunked and frustrated more than once. Hope you dont mind Adam-BD Easy Morlock Two different crystallizing elements within the same solution. And No I'm not going to tell you what those elements are.
