Steve Herschbach Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 My last trip of 2017 took me to a small prospect I had never visited before and so as an exploration trip more time was spent scoping out the area than actually detecting. Still, I surprised myself by banging this little 3.1 gram specimen almost immediately with the Gold Monster. I did not know it at the time of course but it was my last gold for 2017. I will get back to the area in 2018 now that I know how to get there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry in Idaho Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Stunner white quartz and heavy yellow metal. Nice way to end the year and especially an eye catcher too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 It actually had quite a bit of oxides covering the gold when found but cleaned up beautifully with a little soak in Whink 1% HF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
