If I didn’t know where you are from, I’d swear these are Valley Oak trees in the Sierra foothills in central California’s motherload country! Some of my favorite places I’ve been!

Yep...looks exactly like where I live

Wife and I have been prospecting and nugget hunting in this area since the 1980's. We've been fortunate finding wire and leaf gold specimens.

Here are some of my haunts.

 

 

 

[Gerry in Idaho]

Been lucky to travel a little with metal detector.

Below - 1st pic is Positano, Italy and I detected the beach.  Found some coins and a sterling ring.

 

2nd pic (below) is my 1st ever one ounce gold nugget.  Found on the runway at Ganes Creek, Alaska.

 

3rd pic (below) is from Australia and the hot ground.

 

4th pic is from Bahamas

 

Detecting England in the early Spring Rains and some of the success from the group trip.

 

Interior of Mexico and the soldiers watching over/protecting the gold

 

Anyone been around old mining should know what this is...MX

 

Lake Tahoe and the rock statues watching the gold.

 

I was able to earn a little yellow heavy metal from Lake Tahoe.

 

Last pic - My CTX-3030 says something metallic in the rock.

Some Photos from Vic and WA Aus.

Whites 6000D and Aus Whites GoldMaster from early 1980s on the beach after Gold jewellery.

Panning South of Ballarat. Note proper Steel Gold Pans.  ? 

VIC. Claim I took out after finding 26+ oz in one day.

The brother-in-law on claim.

WA.  Where I found my largest bit, 3500 gm with nearly 17 ounces of gold. 

General Area of above.

Same area but wide view of general spot.

A photo that was used on another forum that has now gone the way of many others.

Four hundred small bits about 0.3 to 0.4 gm each.
