Admin nuggethunting Posted September 2, 2013 Admin Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Hello All, This morning I left the house around 3am to head West several hours to hunt an old spot that seems to have been hammered by Monsoon rains. I actually got too early of a start, as I was at the location around 5:15 and it was still a bit dark to hunt. I fired the GPX 5000 on around 5:30am and started working my way down a small gully that the old-timers work probably a 100 years ago. Right away I noticed several spots that got blown out, the sand was pretty much gone showing some schist and granite bedrock. After about 4 hours of hunting these areas that moved around, I managed to score a couple of boot tacks, a few square nails, one piece of lead and 5 gold nuggets. Nothing real big, but enough to keep the interest up until the next outing. It's out there ....Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
