Afriscot Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 My wife and I went out for a few hours yesterday and we worked a 8-0 x 2-0 area along bedrock and we came up with this 1.25 ouncer. The nugget had some great character and I am looking forward to this weekend to find it's siblings. While this area was worked over good in the 1800's, they didn't get it all.

Afriscot Posted November 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Uncle Ron, thanks for your comments. It's an Arizona nugget and it was found it your area. Or at least what I think is your area around Wickenburg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Awesome, fantastic, and wow! I hope to get down that way in a couple weeks but can't hope to be so lucky. I will be amazed if I even find any gold so the bar is pretty low in my case. Anyway, good job and good luck on finding more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
