oldies1955 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Hey all: Welp, Dad and I went into a new area today to try it out.Man it looked good. But, all we did was add to our bullet/ boot tack collection. Hmmm...Decided to do the old New River Blake back peddle to a spot you got sompen out of before. It was just a 1/4 mile away so what the heck. Wow, did that area get ripped up with the last months rain! I didn't even recognize it.Well...........managed to pop a little flat guy out of it. 2 inches of overburden and then I had to dig it out of 3 inches of bedrock.Could not believe how far down it was. Had the bedrock all cleaned off and still hearing a screamer signal. So I just started chipping away.Then the little turd finally came out Great day out! Nice weather and the good Lord blessed us again with some yellow stuff !!! Just north of Wades sunbaker patch...in the fat chunky dink wash.3 gram......that's POINT 3 gram..Paid for half the gasTom H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted November 2, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Hey Tom, Congrats on the find. Sure beats the skunk to have at least one piece in the bottle before you get home. Little guys like that can sometimes lead to more gold upstream.

Gravelwasher Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Sounds great.Some days all my gold comes from 2" down in the bedrock. Quick way to dull a new chisel or bust a knuckle..lolMakes me wonder was the crack more open, did the earth squeeze the crack shut after the gold slipped in...hmmmBest of luck popping more nuggets!!
