Trailertrash 243 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Nice! The last piece of gold I found had a similar story. Heavily placer mined wash, that everybody and his brother has hit in the last 100 years, and one nice piece left for me! Been back over that wash at least ten times, without finding another speck. Keep up the good work. Regards, Kyle Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JOHNM 43 Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 (edited) Thanks you all . I'm not complaining about finding the nugget but I've had detector for two years and first nugget I've found. Lots of you guys are really consistent in finding them. Rather be consistent than lucky. Edited March 6 by JOHNM Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AllenJ 236 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 They say the first one is always the hardest and I found that to be true. It took me until the end of my first season to find a nugget with a metal detector. My second season I found a lot with the detector but nothing even close to the size of yours sir, in fact I'm still looking to break into the 1 gram club let alone the 10 gram!

Hey Allen J,...Check out my YouTube Channel at: ARIZONA GOLD NUGGET VENTURES,... as maybe some of my "Where to look for gold" suggestions may be of help to you in your pursuit of those 1 Gram and larger nuggets.
