Roundup Of Goodies


Recommended Posts

Well this year’s hunting is about done, and I had a great time searching for all kinds of good stuff from the past. Picked out some photos of my favorites to share. 
 
First is that thing we couldn’t figure out if it were piece of a pipe, or gas lamp fixture…likely the latter, but still cool.

Here’s some coins and an old gold scale weight, as well as an arrowhead found up near my cabin. Look how nice the dime cleaned up.

A trip to Lemhi Valley a few hours from me had amazing pictographs and gave up some wonderful artifacts from the past inhabitants.

My oldest coin find was 1861…a British penny. Found it near some old porcelain from England that dated late 1800s .

Ended the season with some really beautiful points! I always thank the Spirits for sharing their gifts with me.

My hunting partner made these really awesome pendants for us….we found the arrowheads and gold while hunting together, and he found the blue Native Americans trade beads years ago. Pretty cool.

I’ll be heading to Arizona next week for 2-3 months…looking forward to nugget detecting, rock hounding, relic&artifact hunting and exploring new areas…maybe meet up with some Arizona forum members.😊

All very nice finds Peg....It's good to see that you have developed your eye and the Native American Artifacts are coming your way.I do have to say though that I am a little disappointed that the much celebrated and highly coveted piddle point (your first?) isn't the star of the show?😩

Great finds and wish you more luck in the future.

I know that you have also been looking for gold, have you cleaned up on that item also?

Good luck and stay safe out there.

Thanks for asking😊 No, I didn’t get out Nugget shooting as much as I usually do! I found some dinks with the Gold Monster, and from sluicing bench material up near my cabin. Only hit northern Nv once this season when I met up with Chet& the guys, and got a few grams using the 6000. Main gold was found dredging a couple times w partner, who plucked some beauties out of bedrock cracks. Think we’ll do more dredging next year😄. 20230530_140623.thumb.jpeg.d8e6a1b7406933a274e124465e070580.jpegIMG_1566.thumb.jpeg.b78e35d1a7f68563bdff0cecd56ae2c7.jpegIMG_1726.thumb.jpeg.5cdb3e0011a258cf4368d05312e0c4a4.jpeg

Nice assortment of finds! Looks like you covered a lot of the bases. Ever find any old bottles?
