Popular Post IdahoPeg Posted September 20, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2018 OK, so not really a BIG adventure....I just like the title!? I decided the Zed needed to get out and play, so we headed to northern Nv for a week...skipped my usual Rye Patch, and hunted 3 other areas instead. My 1st bit of gold was from Placerites, a sassy piece: Got a dink at Sawtooth, then moved on elsewhere. Had a couple skunked days but still enjoyed the scenery: Even found me a cool high desert hood ornament lol! Ended up with over a quarter oz, including a rough beauty of 3.9 grams about 12” deep: Wanted to meet Steve at the Nugget Shoot, but had to head home to meet up with some loggers up by my cabin. All in all, a great trip! 33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Peg that is terrific gold. I especially like that 3.9 grammer. It looks like it hasn`t traveled far. You could be near the mother lode with that one ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gambler Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I was out there last year, not for long enough though and didn't find any gold. but I did see wild horses and asses. and the scenery was of course worth the trip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Yes, it does look bigger, but it’s very porous “sponge” gold. If solid, would’ve been twice the weight I think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn90403 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Your little trip exceeds all the gold I've found in Nevada! Good looking 'rig' for staying out there. Mitchel 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
