Admin nuggethunting Posted June 25, 2013 Admin Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Hello All, A partner and I got an early start Sunday morning, which was around 4am. We were ready to swing the detectors by 4:45am, but it required a good 30 minute hike to get to the location we have had our eye on for years. Funny, places on the Internet (such as Google Earth) always don't look the same as when you have your feet on the ground. This spot was one of those, on Google Earth it looked great, but on arrival it was just ok looking. Within no time, my partner scored a nice 1 - 1.5 Dwt nugget, so it was exciting for a bit. After that first nugget, we both looked at each other and said, "We knew it was here, but how extensive will it be?" We roamed around the area for hours digging a few lead bullets and iron rubbish, but no more gold nuggets. We ruled it as one of those "One Nugget Patch Wonders," which we both have found plenty of. One more nugget in my partners poke, one skunk in mine!Happy Detecting ... End of Story!Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin nuggethunting Posted June 28, 2013 Author Admin Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Hey Chip, I was out there working around Parker for awhile, but never managed to detect there or Havasu like I planned. I was hoping to come up and see you one weekend, but it never worked out like I was hoping. Have you been getting out much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
