Steve Herschbach Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Ray Mills put the word out publically at http://arizonaoutback.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=11817 and on other forums about a get-together in the Sawtooth Mountain area near Sulphur, NV. Never been there before and this will be a chance not only to see the place but to meet Ray and others I have not met before.Anyway, I hope to get there just before dark and hang out for two or three days. I decided just to be different I would grab my Garrett ATX for this trip. I think it is feeling a little jilted since the SDC showed up so I figure I better give it a little love. It should be a good area for the ATX - relatively open, flat terrain.The guys started getting there on Saturday so hopefully somebody will have gold to show off by the time I get there. It is like any place lots of people know about and with easy access in that the easy stuff is gone, and there does not appear to ever have been a lot of easy stuff. But the area is large so gold can still be found. http://nevadanuggethunters.myfreeforum.org/archive/sawtooth-placers__o_t__t_123.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reno Chris Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Hope you made it into camp fine before dark. I don't figure you will have internet and phone out at Sawtooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 I made it just before it got too dark to see, and AT&T just fine here. Looks like most of the group made it, with a bit of gold found the last couple days. We will see what newbie Steve can do today with the ATX. Any gold at all would be great!

Steve Herschbach Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 7 dwt. Stupid spellcheck. Ray got four small ones. He has impressive knowledge of the area so hopefully his pointers will pay off for me tomorrow. Here is a picture of the big nugget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
