Popular Post Goldseeker5000 Posted July 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2022 Been camping out in Grizzly country since May 22,2022. The 6000 is killing it on the gold. Before here I was in Radersburg MT. My buddy saw a Griz, he figures was about close to 4 ft at the hips. I have been lucky not to have seen any. Did see three black bears and a Wolverine. Got game camera's up all over my claim. Won't tolerate claim jumpers. So if you hunt in Montana at all don't try to find it. I'm there every day. Next book is coming along nicely with the writing. 33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard Prospector Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Beautiful MT gold, well done. Spent the last 2 weeks in Montana, my daughter was married last weekend at Chico Hot Springs (also gold country). Had a great time not just at the celebration but hiking around the country and just sight seeing. Lots of talk of grizzly encounters and couple maulings in Paradise Valley. Locals all say a hunt for griz is long over due. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cascade Steven Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Congratulations on the success. Well done! Just out of curiosity, if you don't mind sharing, did you detect any of those nuggets through the forest duff and so, what was the thickness of the duff, the depth of the gold in the soil and the size of the nugget? Best Wishes for continued success. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Very nicely done! Great looking gold and I am sure that it was hard work to get it out of the ground. Good luck and stay safe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathray Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Nice gold man! Don't get eatin.!! We got some hippys here in Cali, that want the grizzly reintroduced. Maybe they should spend some time out in the Montana woods first. 2 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Goldseeker5000 Posted July 15, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2022 All of these nuggets were hit from the surface. Some had just gravels and clay to go through, some were under an additional sod layer and some were in the gravels under duff anywhere from 1" to 6". I pulled 92 nuggets out in 16 days. We are getting gold up to 12 grams a nugget. A buddy of mine and fellow claim holder pulled this nice 8.55 Grammer out his first trip to our claim. We have decimated most gold that we can hit on from the surface and now we have to dig to get to bedrock. The old timers were sloppy to say the least. There is bigger gold in our ground, and we will find it. I still haven't hit bedrock in my hole yet but here soon will show what I find. 19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Goldseeker5000 Posted July 15, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2022 I'm hitting on gold from 2" down to 12-13" got one with my 5000 at about 14" that I missed with my 6000. I will be bringing in my 25" DDX coil as soon as I clear some ground to swing it. 😆 13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
