Happy Birfday Shep...

That whole area was an abandoned community / commune that fell apart years ago. There are some remnants buildings still left standing, Im sure you have seen. There is another abandoned commune up on garnet mountain not to far from there up in the hills east of pierce ferry road. Closer to Gold Basin near the Temple bar back road and greggs hideout road there is a really old miners cabin tucked against the side of hill in great condition...

Ive seen that car out there, didnt know the story. There are some nuggets in that area also, thanks for sharing. Dave

Prayers and wishing your dad a speedy recovery sent your way Rob.... Dave

Jen, I am selling a 1 acre parcel in Gold Basin. The GPAA claim is right across the street. It is on Gladiola Rd. Let me know if your interested. Dave

Rob, and Scott Those are some very nice finds.... congrats on your finds. Have you had to dig deep to get to where nugget was ( heavy equipment?) Or just pick and shovel? The sandy area is pretty wet looking... Congrats... Dave

Man those look like Chris nuggets , nice 7000 finds thanks for sharing Rob.... Dave

Happy Birfday Frank !!!

Horrible situation to be in, almost like the movie The Revenant with Leonardo Dicaprio... Thanks for sharing Rob Dave

Seeing the scale goes to 500 grams, I'm gonna say 499 grams Rob

You could have stumbled on pegleg smiths lost gold, they were black nuggets...nice finds. Dave

Good to hear it was a fun time Rob.... Would be cool if Minelab would release info/ code so other companies like Coiltek, ect could make an aftermarket coil for the 7000. Is the new gold detector Minelab Monster going to be a VLF do you think? Thanks, Dave

Peglegs lost gold ??? Black Nuggets... Congrats on the nice find. Dave

Hi Rob, Looks like an XRF gun/ analyzer , such as an Olympus, or Niton , hopefully these items get cheaper to buy in the future.... Dave

Tortuga, Franconia has both meteorites, and I have seen some big gold pulled out of there also.... I believe a forum member here has found a nice multi ouncer nugget in the Franconia area... get out there and get some Dave.

Hi Rob, You should get a-hold of the company and see if you could become a dealer, I believe the company is in San Diego. Could benefit a lot of people. Dave.

Nice Move Doc.... you did a great job on the old office... Hope you like your new neighborhood and place... Dave.

I know a few folks belong to gold/ prospecting facebook/ social media pages, that sell gold raffles. They sell 10 raffles for around $8-10 each for a gram of gold, plus the winner has to pay for shipping. That gives you around $80-$100 a gram, and they sell out fast.... thats around $2800 an ounce, not bad if you are into that !!!!

Rob, have you seen this comparison video by JasonG? GPZ VS Evolution Coil Video

What a waste of a video.....thinking this was a whopper, even bringing in the backhoe... Dave.

I've seen some people on youtube post night hunts, any association? If you know who they are, have you messaged them privately and warned them to not tresspass? Dave

Hi Rob, Bud found the piece in the King Tut area. There is an article I believe in one of the treasure magazines from the 90's about it. It was auctioned off a year or two ago. Sasquatch- That is the Bud from Helena MT. Very nice piece.... Dave

Very Nice Rob !!!! Keep em coming... Dave.

Wow Rob, Very nice find !!!! Congrats... Dave.

Congrats nice finds californiagold, Especially in Northern California, where iron and lead is everywhere. Dave
