Allen in MT Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Dredge tailing piles are full of crap, can, barbed wire, nails, hot rocks etc. Was hunting in Idaho, After digging countless targets you think another iron chunk, but I dig everything regardless of sound. This one come in rather loud and was setting a flat rock about 5" deep. Biggest nugget I have found. Weighed 5.56 ounce. Found a few years back and traded for a S&S 91/2' pickup camper, Now that nugget is worth a whole lot more and the camper has ;lost 3/4 of it's value. Oh well life goes on.

dgatleyDP Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 You rule Allen! Best stateside nugget I’ve seen in while, short of the ones Jerry wears in his mouth when he hits a good one too. Congrats 🥳 on your sticking with it. Great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry in Idaho Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Well done Allen. I have seen that beauty before somewhere, but it is nice to see it again. As you know those in the US are quite rare and especially the solid ones. Would enjoy seeing you on here more too, so don't be bashful, you have much to add and share. Dave- It is the only way to take my vitamins. Mitchel - We don't have any gold in Idaho, it is full of potatoes and California transplants. Now more from Portland and Seattle...but gold. I seen one once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
