spencer@wy Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Sweet! Must have been an early operation judging from the values they left behind. did they mine out the lode? Must have been an exciting lode to leave those behind for you. I hope your hard work is rewarding, best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencer@wy Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Btw, how far could a lode type specimen like that travel without showing evidence of transport to its placer location? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Featherdfishead Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Love those specimens. Keep it up Calihunter, My cusin hit into an old dump that was just full of nice specimens. Further research and talk with old timers it happens that the mine had a period of work disputes between the owners and the miners and it was suspect that the miners where tossing peaces of gold in the dump to retrieve latter. When the disputed ended the crew was run out at gun point. Seems my cuz found their stash - he has done well in other areas by researching mines that had work disputes, He believes that these are the best mines to search for specimens and are the only places he looks presently. May there be much more to come Calhunt - a dream come true AJR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
