Dakota Slim Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Elly sent me a couple photos of some of the nuggets Gary found. I haven't met him but he has been a member since March of this year. During that time he has found 82 nuggets on the 24K claims. In the last hole he worked out he found 48 nuggets. Photos are on the 24K site at www.24kgoldhunters.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted September 24, 2007 Admin Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Hello Dakota, Yep, Gary hit a nice pocket there, but eventually played out. Another member is currently working the old hole and hasn't had much luck at all. Can't wait for the pushes ...Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Slim Posted October 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 I spoke with Elly today and as it turns out I do know Gary. His 48 nugget hole amounted to 6.5 ounces and the total for the 82 nuggets was 14.5 ounces. That's 1 pound plus 2.5 ounces. Rob, you and Dennis were working pretty hard up there Saturday. How did you do on your hole? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted October 2, 2007 Admin Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Hello Dakota Slim, Well stories sure do grow when it comes to hunting gold nuggets. Gary told me personally he found right at 3 ounces from the hole and then the nice 31.2 Grammer. That is a total of 4 ounces from the hole. Heard a story about a guy finding a 2-pounder on the 24K claims recently. I eventually got to met him and he said the nugget was his first, and was 2.3 Dwts! Wow ... how the hell did that story grow so big. Dakota, we found 3 times that amount, but it pettered out really quickly. Talk with you later,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COLORADO BOB Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Hey Rob,Did I ever show you that 3.7 pounder that I got over there.That was when the creek still had water in it.Bob T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted October 2, 2007 Admin Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Hello Colorado Bob, Yes, you did tell me! You could have at least invited me down. In all honestly, there are a lot of fabricated stories, but when it comes to what has been found, and what will be found on the 24 Karat Gold Hunters Claims, there is no reason to BS. Rich Hill has been one of the richest placer deposits not only in Arizona, but the entire US. Last season there was somewhere between 500-700 gold nuggets found. I know I found close to 100 myself and know several others that found just as much. There is no telling how many nuggets are being found and not getting reported, just like in the early days. I'm sure there was some Monster gold nuggets that never got reported. I'm wishing everyone the best of luck on the claims this year and hoping someone will find a very nice nugget. Take care,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Slim Posted October 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 I'm sure there will be lots of nice nuggets found again this year. Maybe more than last year. We'll be getting a good idea of what is to come soon. The dozer is working on the pushes already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted October 3, 2007 Admin Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Hello Dakota, Thanks for the update. Several members have asked me when the pushing might start, I thought it might be early next week. Take care,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
