djhanson Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 Rob, nice picker! That knife was deep. It makes you wonder, did it accidentally drop from an old timer digging the bottom of the wash maybe for dry washing sake? Or did it buried by that much sediment maybe over 100+ year period? (or whatever time period occurred here) I guess we'll never know but some fun junk for sure. thanks for sharing. DJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin nuggethunting Posted January 10, 2020 Author Admin Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 Hey Djhanson, Back in the early days with only the VLF detectors, I used to weigh my gold in grains only. I had a Dillon Precision Black Powder Scale and used it to weigh my gold. It would weight down to 1/10 of a grain. I used to get hundreds of 1-5 grainers ..... LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
