I have been trying to meet him for years. He seems like a great gent. I'll try to get him to reach out to you. It has been a few yrs since he has been down there and as you know, he used to be a regular on a couple forums including this one. Are you going to be down there around then?

We were partners along with another guy for two winter seasons in Arizona. We had a track hoe and a recirculating wash plant and metal detectors. Biggest nugget we found was the “bow tie” nugget. A 3 ounce beauty! After that venture I went back to gold hunting with a dirt bike and a metal detector in Arizona and Jim ended up in Nevada where he did really well. That is certainly a world class nugget for US standards. I do remember another guy (if my memory is right) who was a Tesoro Dealer back East who I think retired and moved out West. His name was Arizona Al. Jim's place was known for lunkers as you probably recall "Lunker Hill".? Thanks for contributing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry in Idaho Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share Posted September 3, 2020 DolanDave, It is amazing to see bigger gold coming from Southern NV. So many people tell me there is no big gold and I tell them I have heard of bigger pieces coming from some of the ore dumps. Your pics prove there is good gold across most of Nevada. What so many people don't understand is when you should put down a big machine and grab a smaller VLF. It is one of the things my staff and I share and preach during the training we offer. Thanks for sharing your success and adding to the NV Gold thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chris Ben Posted September 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 3, 2020 Well since my buddy Dave showed of his Nevada nuggets I figured I will too. Great thread Gerry. Seeing all the photos I realized I missed the nugget shooting heyday, but that doesn't mean I'm giving up lol!! Here are some of the bigger Southern Nevada gold i found, mostly from the Johnnie district. Cheers Chris 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do "speak" to him on forums infrequently. And for me it would be "coming up." Anyway if you are able to and think of it, keep me up-to-date maybe on PM's. Thank you...

Gerry in Idaho Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 Chris Ben - Heck yea those are really nice ones. I really like your last pick with the 8 grams of solid nuggets and their character. You and Dave are going to start a mini gold rush down there and heck, I might even grab a couple of my guys and head that way this winter, just to get out out of the cold/into the gold. I usually head to MX and jump into the water for some ring/jewelry salvage, but not sure it will happen this winter with the CV-19. Thanks for sharing and you Dave for adding some southern NV comfort eye candy to my thread. Well done my friend. FlakMagnet - I'm hoping he does as well and will let him know there is more than me who wants him down there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
