Admin nuggethunting Posted April 29, 2007 Admin Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Hello Grubstake, Congrats to your Uncle. That is one hell of a nugget! However, I have my fingers crossed that yours will be much larger than any of them found so far. You have been really good to all the guys you have allowed to hunt up there. I'm hoping yours top over a Troy Pound! Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippoz Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 By the way, Nice scale.the MX-200 is a very accurate scale, and while it has a calibration option, you vey rarely ever need to use it, as its always dead on.I used to have the same one!

grubstake Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 He might as well live here, my house is his second home. He's my uncle, but he's just 5 years older, he was in Nam the same time as me, and we hunted and fished together all our lives. More like a brother than an uncle.

Jim P. Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Holy Cow! Now that's a nugget! Not quite as pretty as Shep's but one hell of a find. I'm sure there's one with your name on it Grub, you deserve it. Later...Jim P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
