Admin nuggethunting Posted April 16, 2013 Admin Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Hello All, Here is a short video I shot awhile back prospecting a small wash in Central Arizona. The old-timers worked the spot pretty heavily in the early days, leaving tons of junk behind. I managed to find nuggets in this wash over the years, slowing trying to remove more and more trash. There are workings (handstacking & drywash piles) from the bottom all the way to the headwaters of the wash. The last flash flood wiped out a good section of the handstacking and exposed about 20-30 yards down to virgin bedrock. I was using the Minelab GPX 5000 metal detector and NF 14-inch searchcoil. Hope you enjoyed.Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravelwasher Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Great pc of gold and a intense signal. Looks like a fun spot to detect, makes me want to move some rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted April 16, 2013 Author Admin Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Hello All, This particular wash has been very productive for nuggets and guys drywashing over the years. One nice thing is the gold is local and the nuggets are normally pretty rough with a lot of character. I've found a few with really nice looking Rose Quartz on them. I couldn't imagine what the old-timers got out of here when it was first discovered. Thanks for viewing. Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
