TAZMAN1972 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I had my Sunday free so I went up to the Sierra to try to get one more trip before the snow starts. 5 hours total driving and 6 hours of detecting... Priceless! I have been detecting alone since the summer. I like not having any interference from another detector in the area but there is just something missing when you have to hike, eat lunch, detect and, in the case of this trip, fist pump over a nice find...by yourself. That might just be me though. It took about 3 hours to find the first one which was the largest at 2 dwt. the total for the 4 pcs was 0.2 ozt. The last 3 were all within about 20 feet from each other and the 2nd largest was literally only about 1" down. I think the one on the bottom left looks like a Tyrannosaurus Rex skull! I always look for shapes in my nuggets like some people look for shapes in the clouds! I didn't find the nickel on this trip but I did find it not too far from this spot. I was swinging for hours with not a single target and this nickel was all by its' lonesome! I suppose a miner or logger dropped it on accident. It was a beautiful day and I was really glad to have made it up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sourdough Scott Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Congrats! A interesting day indeed for you. Raining here up in the high Sierra as I post this. Hopefully no snow for a little while, so I can get out detecting a few more times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sourdough Scott Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Those nuggets look like the came off of the same piece. They might interlock somehow. Like a nugget puzzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAZMAN1972 Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 Thanks for the nice comments. Scott, the two large pieces were found about 100 feet apart so I don't think they went together but the top 2 and bottom left were all found close to each other. I just tried to put them together anyway just now. No go but good thought! Until next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shasta gold hunter Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Ok finally got it to post! I also look for shapes on my nugget. On this one I see a T-Rex (looking left) and a lion (looking right). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAZMAN1972 Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 i can see them too! I also see a gorilla head with teeth bared looking left. The dark shadow is the eye sockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
