Admin nuggethunting Posted June 24, 2019 Admin Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Hello All, I returned to the old placers again today to dig a ton of rubbish. I started out this morning around 4am and arrived around 6:15am at the detecting site. I continued to dig and push myself a bit longer until around 2pm. I ended up with 3 nuggets, biggest was 3.6 Dwt's, and a total of 5.4 Dwt's, or a bit over 1/4 ounce for the day. I dug probably 60 iron rubbish targets today. There is no question the old-timers were a bit sloppy in this spot, but since they camp right on site, there is no shortage or targets. Hope all your guys/gals kept the skunk off your back this weekend. P.S. The dark looking nugget, right below the square nail piece is the 3.6 Dwter. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 A solid days efforts Rob. Well done on those pieces of gold. Is that like a whisk broom handle ? Once the monsoons hit, Desert prospecting may be subdued a bit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishing8046 Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Very cool. I kind of like the square nails and just finding targets. It is an indication nobody else has been there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted June 25, 2019 Author Admin Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Hey Guys, Adam - Ya, it's for sure a whisk broom handle. They were breaking up the breaking up the bedrock and sweeping it up. I think the old-timers "Broke for Bedrock" also! Fishing8046 - I never seen any prior signs of metal detecting or prospecting, at least in this spot. However, I'm sure someone at some point has poked around here with a VLF or some form of metal detector. Thanks for all the comments guys. Hope to see you both contributing more.
