Hey Doc and Adam, Doc - let us know how those new Bates work out. The last couple of pairs of Bates I purchased just fell apart too quickly. Adam - Same to you, let us know how those ones work. It's hard to find a good pair of boots anymore that are No Metal. Also, if we know what boot you're wearing, we can ID who was walking up the wash! I'm wearing sandals now, so it's hard to see the footprints.

Got out this weekend for a shorter hunt. 6 hours. Dug lots of trash and these three nuggets I dug the first nugget and got my motivation cause there is gold in this wash. Found the smallest one a minute later on exposed bedrock. The nothing but trash for a couple hours. Heading back to the truck about a hundred yards below the first nugget I get a nice signal dug down to bedrock and it's still they blowing out my speaker. I got the straw out and there it was in a crack a 2 Grammer! And yes I didn't hear it the first time over it. It was between 8 and 10 inches down. The big one weighed in at 2.00 grams the next at .37 and the super dink at .04 all found with a 7k running hot with a 14in coil.

Great pic's Justin, great way to collect critters. Old Tom

Thanks guys. It's a little warm out there lol. I'm not sure if it's a good sign but I like to see them. Here are a couple more critters... Enjoy Justin

Hey Doc, I have to agree, I'm on my third order of the Gold Monsters and I still don't have one to play with yet. With the 15% Military Discount, you can't beat a top of the line Minelab VLF for $679.15. This price smashes all the competition in my opinion. I have a buddy that bought one from me, we played with it a bit together and I was amazed on the sensitivity to small gold. I wouldn't of thought the 45Khz could find such small gold. I have a bunch of spots that still has dinks, so this will be fun to re-visit with the Gold Monster! Good looking boots also.

Hey Guys, I bumped this thread as I just got off a long talk with T-Bone's Daughter. She called me tonight and told me a lot of information on her Father. She is searching for information and pictures of her Father and even of the 27 ounce gold nugget. Any pictures you might have, or know someone, please let me know. She is also looking to find the original article about the nugget. I told her I couldn't remember what magazine it was in, but would search ICMJ, GPAA, Western Treasure and Lost Treasure to see if I could find it. Anyone know off hand or would happen to have a copy of this article I would love to get a copy to give to her. Thanks for all the information in advance.

I'm bumping this because it is one of the most classic, historical and informative threads on all the forums! ... Cheers, Unc
