B-day Gold

[Lunk]

Today I'm one year older and the poke is seven nuggets golder! It's also a special day because I unearthed Quartzsite nugget number three-hundred. Who knew there were that many pieces of gold hiding in these old, worked-out patches??

Good luck out there!

Happy B-day!

Best wishes, and wow 300!

In the last picture, are you the ambitious soul who did all the raking?

No, just illustrating what an old, worked-out patch looks like.

It is very interesting seeing that picture of the worked-patch on flat ground.  I am a Quartzsite rookie and have wondered if walking that flat ground that is everywhere would produce results.  I am now only 298 nuggets short of my 300th this year, and they both came out of a small wash.

Well, there's an old prospectors' saying - a nugget in the wash is worth ten on the hill...

It's no-frills desert camping for me...I'm no stranger to austerity. Weather is sunny; climate data here:  http://www.usclimatedata.com/climate/quartzsite/arizona/united-states/usaz0180
