I ran through my photo library and remembered this day!  This Chinese Camp was just above the creek they pounded.  This day I only found one nugget, some coins and a Silver Chain.  I know nothing about the age of the chain.  Over the years the little creek and bench gave up a handful of ounces they left for us and hundreds of coins.  I’m sure to this day there is more to find!

Lundy if you have closer photos with washed up coins I might be able to read that...

If I didn’t know where you are from, I’d swear these are Valley Oak trees in the Sierra foothills in central California’s motherload country! Some of my favorite places I’ve been!

Yep...looks exactly like where I live

Wife and I have been prospecting and nugget hunting in this area since the 1980's. We've been fortunate finding wire and leaf gold specimens.

Been lucky to travel a little with metal detector.

Below - 1st pic is Positano, Italy and I detected the beach.  Found some coins and a sterling ring.

 

2nd pic (below) is my 1st ever one ounce gold nugget.  Found on the runway at Ganes Creek, Alaska.

 

3rd pic (below) is from Australia and the hot ground.

 

4th pic is from Bahamas

 

Detecting England in the early Spring Rains and some of the success from the group trip.

 

Interior of Mexico and the soldiers watching over/protecting the gold

 

Anyone been around old mining should know what this is...MX

 

Lake Tahoe and the rock statues watching the gold.

 

I was able to earn a little yellow heavy metal from Lake Tahoe.

 

Last pic - My CTX-3030 says something metallic in the rock.

General Area of above.

Same area but wide view of general spot.

A photo that was used on another forum that has now gone the way of many others.

Four hundred small bits about 0.3 to 0.4 gm each.
