Chris Ben Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I had a couple of productive days in a new area me and my buddy Dave have been checking out. First was last Sunday, I found a wash that gave up 8 nuggets, 6 for me and 2 for Dave, then I found a few small pieces in a couple of nearby tributaries. Ended up with about 8.8 grams. Then today we tried an area nearby, and I guess I got the lucky wash. I was able to dig up 11grams, biggest was 4.9. Two nuggets came out of the same hole. Dave and I hiked a lot and dug a bunch of bullets. Deep ones on bedrock, a bunch of heartbreak digs. Worn out we called it a day. It was a beautiful day to be out prospecting.

The nuggets were not that deep, though I did dig a few 20 Inch holes for the bullets. My best advice is to just cover a lit of ground and use a GPZ.

Jim Hemmingway Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Congratulations on finding those beautiful character nuggets Chris. I'm not inclined to single out any specific one as a favorite because I like them all. Although I must say that I agree with Steve's post above, that particular nugget is outstanding. Thankyou for sharing those superb photos. WTG Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
