Peg And Zed’s Big Adventure

[IdahoPeg]

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!

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 ?

Beautiful gold, beautiful scenery, beautiful sunset, can't beat that any day!     WTG!

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.

Wow nice work!! I still have never detected Northern NV. That 3.9 grammer, looks bigger.

Yes, it does look bigger, but it’s very porous “sponge” gold. If solid, would’ve been twice the weight I think.

Your little trip exceeds all the gold I've found in Nevada!

Good looking 'rig' for staying out there.
