He's doing better than me that's for sure. Good job MannyScoot ? 

You get what you put in, and be determined..... I have been driving from The Bradshaw mountains to Rio Verde, to Horseshoe dam, to Prescott, to Wickenburg, to Tucson........ Been to many places in the last month ....... and at some places found nothing, but scout the area and even if all you get is trash.... Keep going ...... I dug over 150 targets one day, but then bada bin bada bum ......Nuggies

Thanks Fox

My collection is growing these were found within the last 30 days ..... I hunt locations on Google Earth Pro ...... and use the MRDS ..... 

MRDS describes metallic and nonmetallic mineral resources throughout the world (select Arizona). Included are deposit names, locations, commodities, deposit description, geologic characteristics, production, reserves, resources, and references. The Six dirty nuggets in my hand came out of the same hole...... 

 

If you feel like starting a "how to" post on what that all means and how to do it I will be an interested party!

Snagged a small .54 today at Cave Creek.......

This was in Cave Creek ..... Take old mine road from Cave Creek....... Take it toward the mountains and start climbing to the top, it dead ends at a BLM claim that's locked but don't claim jump take the left side of the road and it will dead end where a mountain side collapsed....... Keep going on foot another 1.5 to two miles up until you reach the quartz vein..... Can't miss it .....

Man you need a pinPointer, You can dig much more with less time trying to find it.

Pin pointers are not that great for gold Nugs. Yes they can be used. They just dont react to small nugs very well. Now Australia type big hogs yep they find those.

We are not nay saying him. It is valuable help that if he follows he will keep adding to his growing stack of nuggets.

I would say the video would be a great video to show how not to retrieve a nug. A small nug say .10gram wont be found that way. Get a second scope. No dirt is dumped till both scopes are scanned. The scope with no beeps gets dumped in a single pile away from the hole. Some times you get two targets, one in each scope. Scan twice dump once lol.

Glad you said that.... I surely meant no ill intent or disrespect in my earlier comment, just speaking truth...imo
