Last Gold Of 2017

[Steve Herschbach]

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!

Stunner white quartz and heavy yellow metal.  Nice way to end the year and especially an eye catcher too.

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.

That would make a nice little pendant for someone Steve. Nice nugget.

Beautiful piece Steve!  My last trip of 2017 ended in a skunk, but i still enjoyed every minute of it.
