oldies1955 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Hey all: Welp, went out today and enjoyed the day!Nice weather, met up with Shay and Ken to do some detecting. Ran the beepers the first half of the day and got a lot of really nice junk Which is amazing being that this area has been under claims for a loooong time. We found a open spot inbetween claims. Oh well, thats the way it goes.The ground was ripe for gold. Lots of contact zones, schist, ironstone, minerization all over, and trumpet plants. Ken took off to cook some ribs or something so Shay and I went drywashing.Shay found a spot that looked good. Im playing with the GB 2 on bedrock and Shay is vacing up dirt. I here him say...hey Tom...look at this...go over and he points out a nice little picker in the bedrock Sweet! I think he ran about 4 buckets in his new KEENE puffer and got some nice pickers out of it. I sucked up two buckets and got some beautiful lead shot...and some flyspeck gold. Was a great day out with friends.Good Lord blessed us with some gold and good times EnjoyTom H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin nuggethunting Posted May 12, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Hey Tom, Glad you guys had fun. Thanks for sharing. I seen the other pictures on Bill's forum. I would have to say you are a "Dollar Short and a Day Late" in that area. We found hundreds of nuggets around that area, but it's been pounded to death. That being said, you never get them all, so give it hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alwaysdirty Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 I was actually quite surprised at all the junk we found. I thought it would have been pretty cleaned out around there.Spent most of my detecting time in one wash, the center of which I was finding bullets, but on the tiny benches under rocks and bushes I was pulling out the old boot tacks and nails. Probably some gold still around there. Just gotta know where to look. I'm real happy Tom brought his vacuum or I would have never found that bedrock picker. Thanks again Tom!
