Snagged a nice 1/4 ouncer


Recommended Posts

Acting on Rod's intuition we got out early this morning to check out an area we had visited a few years ago but never really got back to. This time we travelled in a lot farther and took note of a lot of ground that deserves more attention. Today would not be the day due to our slow pace in checking everything out and so we started back toward the trucks with several hours to spare thinking we would give the drainage we had hiked up a good shot before leaving.

I remember thinking in the morning that it was the type of wash that most certainly has nuggets in it and that after recent rains there was a good shot at finding quite a few pieces each. As it was, I got two and Rod got one for a total take of 1/3 of an ounce of placer nuggets. My large one weighed in at 9.1 grams. Not bad. I know there is more in the area and we will be sure to return for more in the near future.
