You represented this community with class. I nominate you to be the official spokesperson for the World Benevolent Miners Association, (WBMA). Very nice chunk as well! Cheers, Jeff Thanks Jeff, but I am sure you are much more qualified for that position than I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvpopeye Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Depending on the value of the rifle. You might have traded him for it right then. Skip the dog on that deal though , not too smart unless it was a puppy....the guy was kinda chasing his tail too. Good snappy response , that was an 8 out of 10 !

jasong Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Nice job, not very common to see nugget finds posted from back home! This is the area I first started prospecting, just by myself, and at the time had no idea there was nugget size gold out there since I didn't really talk to many people and mostly just found fines. I'd have probably been surprised like the guy in your story too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing it would have to have been a package deal. I knew he was joking? and pretty sure he realized I was as well. The wife seemed to get a kick out of seeing her husband put on the spot though. I got the idea that this was just a funny routine type of interaction between them.

rvpopeye Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Maybe she's got him a detector and the gun is now HERS ?🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxxkatt Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 great nugget. That is why I say that best place to get real $$$ metal detecting is the western desert of the US or Southern and Calif beaches. Why Southern and Calif beaches? Warm all year round mostly. Choice places to retire and metal detect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
