Nice Nugget Chris!  What was the depth?

Stopped in and had a nice chat with Steve and Tom over the 4th weekend in Chicken.  They were hitting it hard, long days on the tailing piles up on Jack Wade creek.  Steve had quite a bag of dug trash, lot's of junk metal. 

Took the Chicken Dredge tour with Mike Busby, very interesting to see a complete nearly operational bucket dredge, inside and out.  He gives a very informative tour, after saving it from the being scrapped and purchasing it for a $1 they spent $200K moving it in one piece the one mile to his claims, it weighs 500 tons, or 1,000,000 pounds.  It's interesting to see the workers tools where they last left them.  It's now on the National Historical Registry.  Put it on your bucket list if in Chicken.

Very nice find!  But it begs the question...would a  ATX have picked it up??
