bjretired Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Hello; moving to AZ. Looking seriously at a house E of St. David. I've hunted the N. AZ area a lot but not familiar with the south. Any deposits around the Cochise Co. area? Any help would be appreciated Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjretired Posted May 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 Thanks Sounds like the areas AU is tied up in Sulfide's and Copper. I own Fault Line Geophysics in NV we do a lot of XRF on core samples. I want to totally retire and just hunt nuggets with my GB and GPZ Guess I need to start house hunting farther North. I used to spend a lot of time in the Rich Hill area years ago. I hear Maricoppa Co has to many restrictions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted May 17, 2019 Admin Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 Hey Bjretired, The district shows only about 1,000 ounces of placer gold found, but sometimes these smaller districts can hold the best potential. They are less hunted, so more potential for virgin ground for metal detecting. I have a friend, lost contact with him that hunted gold nuggets around Sierra Vista and Bisbee area. There is gold nuggets in the area, but spotty like all other areas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjretired Posted May 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 Thanks; I'm heading down to AZ Tue to look around. Also looking at Peoples Valley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted May 19, 2019 Admin Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Hey bjretired, Like way2cool mentioned, Greaterville is not far from Tucson. Many good nuggets have been found there. If you locate to Peeples Valley, you will have many goldfields in all directions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
