Jackpine Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Well done on the find, that is an amazing piece of history. I know the buzz that a find of that age gives as I once found an awl from the Great Lakes copper culture period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 23 hours ago, Randy Dee said: Well Steve I have read all of your links to the gold prospecting of yours in Alaska and I am truly fascinated by your expeditions pulling out the gold nuggets and I was so intrigued I was imagining I was there alongside you. Your experience in this gold prospecting is very reminiscent to my hoard hunting and ancient artifact hunting here in the UK. Here below is one of my ancient finds which is published in this months Searcher Magazine it is an Iron Age Harness Fitting and this object gives me the same buzz as what you get with your gold nugget finds, this find is the only one of this type ever recorded. The finds you blokes make are truly amazing - thanks for showing that Randy! My problem in the U.K. was that I often had no idea how good a find was until later when it got identified. No problem there when you dig a big gold nugget up! Steve’s 2013 Alaska Gold Adventure 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Dee Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Very nice that large lump of the yellow stuff. And your gold finds are much older than my finds. I have an invite to the North Lincolnshire Minelab Equinox Masterclass on 26th May. The masterclass is going to be run for us by Equinox experts and field testers Derek McLennan, Sharon McLennan, Gordon Heritage and Neil slow & Low Jones, I am looking forward to it even as a get together and swap experiences, we have an undetected field adjacent to Ermine Street the Roman Road near Lincoln there should be quite a bit of Roman stuff come up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 The secrecy has lifted on the Equinox specimen find. Actually 18.8 ounces total weight with about 6 ounces gold enclosed. Here is the thread on Rob’s forum. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn90403 Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 Yes, I know the finder and I have not asked her what I can say about it so just go there for now. They don't come to this forum or at least not very often. Mitchel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
