mn90403 Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 The guy we met in the mountains had some stories about 80 year olds who are now dying off. They found the Big Nuggets. We heard about a 2 pounder so I guess that would be 24 ounces Troy or so over here. JR has shown many nuggets in that category. To tell you the truth I was expecting more. When at a hammered spot the choice is to move quickly and find the missed nuggets around the bushes and plants or go painfully slow to get small and deep nuggets. I was probably somewhere in between and could have gone slower to find those little things but then I could have missed a bigger, easier one! It only got better after finding 1 nugget because I knew it would be even more painful to come back here with a skunk. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobill Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Wow, 50 people swinging detectors at Rye Patch....that must have been some outing! Mitchel, were you out there with a club? Did you guys leave any for the rest of us or am I going to have to head south to AZ? Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn90403 Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 Yes, we have a group. WSPA I think in the last couple of years after the big coin hunt there at the dam there must have been even more head out to look for gold. Isn't there about 250 who go to that event? Does anyone here attend that hunt? Mitchel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
