oldies1955 Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Hey all: Welp, got out today with Dad, and Luke. It was a bit cool in the morning but once the sun got into the wash I was peeled down to a shirt. Hit some washes up at LSD. Cleaned up a lot of garbage I found a 22 short that has been up there so long the bullet was almost gone from corrosion.I love picking in the ground for live 22 rounds Hit a wash and was pulling more garbage out of it. Tin, boot tacks, the general junk.Im getting weary and start heading down the wash to the truck and I get another signal. Great, sounds like that last piece of tin. I walk away still swinging listening for the sweet sound. About 5 feet away a little voice in my head says to go back and dig it what if it is a nugget. I look at the boot scrape...ok...Ill dig it. Get down six inches in all the sand and its out. Yup, got to be tin, its not in the bedrock....however deep that is? In the scoop and DOH!!! Its a hunk of yellow! 2.8 grams.I almost walked away from it. Lesson learnt Got a lot more trash out of that area after that.Great day out and the Good Lord blessed us with some gold.Tom H.

Admin nuggethunting Posted December 28, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Hey Tom, Congrats on your new finds. I managed to get out with Dennis Sunday morning, freezing cold at 28 degrees in the morning. It didn't seem to warm up until around 11am, still temps around 48-50. I did manage to get 4.2 Grams of the good stuff with the GPZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
