justindoober Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 (edited) Got out this weekend for a shorter hunt. 6 hours. Dug lots of trash and these three nuggets I dug the first nugget and got my motivation cause there is gold in this wash. Found the smallest one a minute later on exposed bedrock. The nothing but trash for a couple hours. Heading back to the truck about a hundred yards below the first nugget I get a nice signal dug down to bedrock and it's still they blowing out my speaker. I got the straw out and there it was in a crack a 2 Grammer! And yes I didn't hear it the first time over it. It was between 8 and 10 inches down. The big one weighed in at 2.00 grams the next at .37 and the super dink at .04 all found with a 7k running hot with a 14in coil.
