Nice Lump


Lunk

Recommended Posts

Crumbing the old nugget patches with the mighty Zed has been a blast here in the Quartzsite regional placer area of Arizona this winter. Small, deep nuggets that the older detector technologies were unable to find abound in the long forgotten raked, detected and drywashed patches of yesteryear. And there are yet reasonable lumps to be discovered lurking in the depths, albeit far less common than the dinks. Case in point, Quartzsite nugget number 124: what initially sounded like another deep boot tack with its typical warbly response, turned out to be a sweet 29 gram lump at 18 inches. It is a porous, prickly beauty, which I assume is the reason why it was missed by the pulse induction detectors. Totally lovin' the new ZVT!
