No extra or special skills on my part, just keep swinging.  Persistence, persistence, persistence, some patience, some luck, and eventually a bigger nugg will turn up.  The old boys got most of em but not all of them.  Usually a few crumbs but every once in a great while the whole cookie!!!!!

Almost got skunked today. Found a spot on my first hunt that gave up 3 or 4 of those bits (in the pic) and figured I'd investigate further today?  4 hrs later at the spot turned up zippo so with only an hr hunt time left I went to another spot that seems to always kick out one more bit and luckily I popped out 2 pieces for 1.6g and salvaged the hunt......  Here's the 1.5er that salvaged the hunt today.

Thanks everyone for the comments and good luck out there!!!!!!

Glad to see you out there dusting off the Winter webs and finding some golden gems.  Nice finds for your efforts and thanks for sharing.

Thanks a bunch guys!!!!!  Got a little excited on the first 3 hunts and hope the pics helped motivate somebody?  Three hunts and a mere 3 grams but any gold is good gold and the fun factor remains the same for myself, big or small?  These will probably be the last pics I post until season ends around Thanksgiving(?).  Hopefully the rest of the season produces but I'll take whatever it gives up and post the results at the end.....

Thanks again and good luck out there!!!!!!
