labyankee Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I got out for a short time this Saturday morning before it got way to hot, and snagged this little one. It tipped the scales at a “whopping” two grams, and was about eight inches down.I haven’t posted much as it’s been raining a lot here in New Mexico, and that has put a real dampener on my beeping. I’m happy to see that the old 4500 and I can still sniff these out. Can’t wait for the cooler weather…Take care all,Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

labyankee Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Thanks for the kind comments folks. It never gets old when you find these nuggets... No matter what size they are, they’re all trophies in my book.Boulder Dash: Correct, most aren’t too big…but I did find a 33 gram piece nearby.Homefire: Most of the nuggets in this area have a spongy or crystalline appearance as I suspect they’ve not traveled too far, but they can be challenging for a PI unit.Steve.
