Admin nuggethunting Posted January 4, 2019 Admin Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Hello All, Figured there is no better time to start exploration than the beginning of the year. I was able to escape before some family and friends came over to try my luck exploring an area I had my eyes on for some time. I have passed by this spots several times, just kept thinking I'll try it later and never made it back. Sometimes you always want to go to where you found gold, old patches and such to eliminate the skunk. These two nuggets, combined for a total of 11 Dwt's (just over 1/2 ounce) and were found in a new area. I was very surprised I found two really nice chunks and no small gold. Normally it's a bunch of small gold and you get lucky and get a nice chunk. I will have to check this area out more, as I just touched the surface with a quick 2-3 hour GPZ run over the area. I managed to find the typically desert rubbish also, lead, bullet casings, wire, a few boot tacks and some small bits of tin. It's out there! Wishing you all a successful 2019 season. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrownNugget Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 Great work Rob! This is the second post of 2019 where guys found gold going out to new areas. Makes me want to change my approach for my scheduled trip tomorrow. That round piece has a grey stain or is that caliche? Brownie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted January 9, 2019 Author Admin Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 Hey Guys, Brown Nugget - That is just the dirt or clay still attached to it. I didn't clean them, they were right out of the ground and I took the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
