Border Boy Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Doing some research using my footprints map and the historical placer I noticed some out of the way areas that could be holding. Took about an hour to hike into the potential area, about 20 targets this little nug popped out of a bank. I am really excited about this area it's loaded with old trash and digs, I was tight on time so I left while I was ahead.Special thanks to Clay and Ruby for the excellent maps,Justin.

pkirkll Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Looking good bro!!!!!!One thing about the quads,,,if you could use them...... people would be all over the place in Gville..... hiking in is better for you anyway! Have you looked at the drop riffle w/ gates/traps sluice that grumpyprospector sells??? I just dont know enough about sluices,,,I have a Jobe Yellow Jacket,,,with a homemade header box.I like the idea behind the Bazooka with no claissifying!!!!Anyway what a great nugget to be thankful for----- and a possible new patch!!!
