Uncle Ron Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Yo, All...The weather was so awesome today, mid-80's, nice breeze, that I jumped ship at work and headed out to the LSD around noon...There's this one wash, a little off the beaten track, that a snow-bird from upper Michigan has hammered to death for the past two or three nugget seasons...He has literally raked both banks of the gulch for a couple thousand feet...He's found some very nice gold there, from a beautiful 3+ oz nugget to several 1, 1/2 & 1/4 oz. nuggets...Now, for the past year or so, it's been virtually impossible to even find a metalic target of any kind there...Well, as it's said, the patch is never cleaned out...Today I dropped down into the gulch which got a fair scouring in the last gully washer a couple weeks ago...The gulch is loaded with those damn grey hotrocks and a good bit of ironstone...Long story short, I ignored the bottom of the gulch and concentrated on the benches where the old timers had shoveled up the overburden to hit the bedrock where the real gold concentration was...Immediately, the first part of the bench I beeped gave me a very faint signal...I dug several hot rocks out and still the signal was there... Then I encountered a big flat rock about a foot square...I figured that was the signal source, but when I popped it out, suddenly the signal was louder...A few quick scoops with my Hermit Pick and I had the target, now screaming on my SD2100 with my Nuggetfinder 14E Mono (oldstyle) ...Nice little 3/4 Gram chunky beauty that I'm pretty sure is the last nugget at LSD!!! Cheers, Yer Unc in the Dubyah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COLORADO BOB Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Ron ,I have heard that old rooster crow before, so I'll take your statement with a grain of salt.But then if you are being reeeaaaaal trueful, then I guess there is no reason for me to go back over there. Anyway, nice nuggie.Bob T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pondmn Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Hey Ron how many times have you posted you got the last nugget in LSD. I think you don't want us in your honey hole...a nugget a day keeps the skunk away! Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Slim Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Nice going Ron. Keep up the good work. I love it when you score down at LSD because that means you aren't picking on those poor little nuggets at Rich Hill. I'll be starting my annual fall migration next week btw. If I get a good tailwind I may drive straight through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
