Buckeye Boy Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I mentioned finding gold in the meteor forum so here it is. My brother and I hiked into an area that both of us had marked on our GPS. We covered lots of ground and I gave up on the area and was heading to the truck. I met up with my brother and he showed me a small nugget he had found. I guess the brought my motivation back up and I detected every little gully on the way out. My first nugget was the big one and the rest were within 100 feet. This was an excellent day in the hills and might have even have two more meteorites for the collection. I said might because I still have my doubts. AJ 8 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Au Seeker Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Some nice gold, over 1/2 ounce is a very good day and it appears you also have a couple of pieces of outer space to top it off, well done! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailertrash Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Awesome finds. I'd really like to find a meteorite someday. Something very cool and mysterious about a rock from somewhere else in the universe. And, more rare than gold! Congrats, Kyle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
