grubstake Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Shep and I went hunting today, I got skunk, but Shep scores BIG TIME, one solid nugget 33.3DWT and another 10+ DWT For a total of 44.DWT. I guess that makes Shep an official member of the one oz club. Heres pictures. Grubstake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grubstake Posted October 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Gaine, my wife said she would rather be sitting in Maui, at least for a week, we have never been, the only time I was over there, I was on my way to Nam, wouldn't even let us off the plane while it refueled. My wifes dream is to go there on vacation. Grubstake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted October 30, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Hello Grubstake, DOH ... I just knew it was going to be a matter of time and we would see some more nice nuggets come from the patch. I was hoping at least one of them would have been yours, but I know your "BIG" one is just around the corner. I've seen you take a lot of guys out and allow them to find gold in your patches. Just remember, good things happen to good people! On another note, what coil was Shep using this time? Where the nuggets found at depth or fairly shallow? P.S. Doc and I are ready to come out! Congrats to Shep on the finds. Hope next time it's you Grubstake.Take care,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grubstake Posted October 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Shep was using a Nuggetfinder 14 E mono, for the big one, then switch over to the more stable running Platypus and found the 10.7 DWT nugget with it.

I don't drink, can't with all the heart meds, Yah I had the shakes, but its from the meds, not booze. You just have a better camara, mines just a little cheapie.

acronn Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Just take pics from further away with yer camera Grubstake, we can still see the gold with no problem that's for sure.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grubstake Posted October 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 No really what the problem was, is I had the camara set to Macro, and didn't know it, until later. When I take my shots at home, I use a tri-pod, and set the timer. Grubstake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
