LuckyLundy Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Like the Country Music Song goes; Hunting, Fishing & Prospecting Every Day! Even though I am Retired, I hardly hunt or fish anymore...prospecting gives me the same fuzzy wuzzies! Nice little patch of nuggets is like a school of hungry fish or flocks of birds for some fast wing shooting and skunks go right along with fishing and hunting just like prospecting! This time of the year it's about escaping the Summer heat and head to the higher hills for a hunt in some cooler temps. There are countless old prospects in the high Motherlode some are no good, some fair and some you just keep your mouth shut! There is one guarantee, all have trash...the more trash in my little black book, the better the gold was for the old timers. These old haunts, you have to dig your share of trashy booming targets, cause the one you don't dig will end up in someone's poke and not your poke. Well here is one, somebody won't be digging behind me, Dig them all and let the scoop sort them out, is and old saying of mine. But, even I can't dig all them booming trash sounding targets. Here is the dry weight in grams 23.78 and the wet suspended weight 19.17. Hope someone checks my math, I came up with 14.12 grams of gold in the Quartz! Until the next hunt LuckyLundy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldbrick Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Lucky, you are like a coon dog for nuggets. You get your nose to the dirt and sniff 'em out. LOL. Beautiful specimen. You deserve it for all the hard work you put in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyLundy Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 Merton, You know how this game goes! Some days you wish you stayed home and other days you wish the day was longer. But, you can't dig them all in one day and there is always one left for the next trip. Great exercise in God's Country and you never know what you'll dig up, if you dig enough holes, lol. Freaking hot down here and looking to head back to the high country very soon. Talk to you soon! Rick & Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strick Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 A nugget of that size I equate to bagging a 30 inch 5x5 Mule Deer Buck...(back to when I used to hunt)....Lisa and I were up at the claims a week or so ago. Wore my self out for 3 days.....BTW I left plenty of booming signals for you to dig Rick ! strick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rumblefish Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Wow that's a beautiful piece of rock, Lucky. What is that calculation you did to determine the gold content, I've not seen that before? rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
