OT I know shingles are bad but I can't imagine having it on my face. I saw it bring a grown man to his knees. Thanks Rob I hope for a handful next time too. I didn't go blurry that would have been scary. Tom you don't see it happen lol On dark nights you can't see anything out side of your torch even a few inches apparently. I just need to be more careful and wear glasses.

Thanks...nice to have some to pull out on days , weeks and months of skunk or just tidbits to remind one self never to give up. two more.....pics....

Hello All, It's been pretty slow here, so I figured I would post a picture of some gold specimens a friend just recently found.

Rob: Just a Sony Nex3 with a Macro lens. Its all about how you set it up and take pics. I took a lot of pics to get this one. "film" is cheap these days Tom H.

Hey Guys, Fishing8046 - The specimen on the left has some quartz and iron as the host rock. This is very common for quartz specimens to have iron mineralization mixed with it. Iron is kind of like the Mother of Gold. AuWanderer - Some great looking pieces you have shown. Did you happen to find or metal detect them? Tom - Great Makro shot. I need to get a new camera with a good Macro lens on it. What are you using in that nugget shot? Hey Guys, What I forgot to add was one of the pieces is 35 Grams and the other is like 43 if I remember correctly.

Dont want to hi-jack this post, but here is a macro pic of a 3 gram specie I found about 3 yrs ago. Only piece of gold I found in the whole wash. Macros really bring out the cool details Tom H.

It looks like you folks from Route 66 had a great time. Post some photos!! There are some big nuggets up there. The Anvil fault runs right through the AKAU camp about where the spring pipe comes out of the ground from just West of King Mountain. Good times there. Mike
