Bear Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Send offs, my first summer in AK I found a 1/4 ounce nugget with GP extreme. Since then I had never found one bigger. This year I had to move out of AK. I went back to one of the places that I used to dredge a lot. I had found a few nice nuggets in there and last year I found a 2 penny weight nugget. So I went back this year and started where I had to quit last year and found these nuggets in my first day. The big nugget is almost 11 penny weight. I have been meaning to write this post for a while but didn't get to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 Thank for the comments. As the trip went on I worked out a pretty big hole. The bedrock is rotted to a clay for a couple feet. After that it will get chunky but it will go right up the hose. I was mining in an old cut and there is not a lot of water flow so you can't see when diving either. Generally I just dredge about 18" of the rotten stuff. On one side of the hole I figure I didn't go deep enough so I put the SDC in there and confirmed my suspicion. I had two signals so I cut another swath of the clay. The two nuggets in the lower right were in box after I finished. The pic is all of the nuggets from the trip.
