Popular Post klunker Posted November 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 23, 2020 Do any of you geeolodgik jeanyussez have a good theory for the formation of these nuggets? They were all found within about 50' of each other using an excavator and a7000. 13 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebulanoodle Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Probably just bits of your excavator bucket. Does it happen to be made of gold? That would probably explain why there are so many in such a small area. I’d invest in a steel bucket, much more durable. Although it could be exhilarating to continue using the golden bucket that I think you’re using, since it creates the illusion of finding nugs no matter where you dig! Just a thought...

GB_Amateur Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 The responses remind me of the party/parlor game called 'dictionary' (or 'fictionary'). Someone puts forth an esoteric word and all contestants write down a definition and turn them in. The person who chose the word reads the correct meaning and all the made up definitions (in random order) and each contestant must then vote on which definition s/he thinks is the true one. Klunker, this is what you get for kidding around so much on this site. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasong Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Makes me think of slickensides. Were they found in a shear zone? Don't really hear about nuggets being deformed by shearing but I suppose it's remotely possible to occur in tectonically active areas while they were still in situ ore. Or glacial movement making slickenline type structure on nuggets? They could have been deposited and cast against sheared quartz in a reactivated fault and taken that shape too maybe? No idea, just far out guesses. Can't see the nuggets very well. Assuming this isn't a joke anyways. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

normmcq Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I was there when he found a couple of those, the pointy end was pointed to where the next one was found. Unfortunately when he dug the last one, he dislodged it from the original location and the direction it was pointed. I don't think he will be able to find another one!
