Uncle Ron Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Yo, All...It's almost embarassing to be posting dinks when Shep, Gus and others are showing such great finds...But I guess it's the dinks that keep us looking for the monsters???!!!...I've really gotten into exploring the Vulture Mountains and have been getting out nearly every day for a few hours since the gold fields there are within ten minutes or so from my house... Today, I got into a wash that was suprising because it is very heavily drywashed, fairly recent work, too....But I also found some old late 1800's, early 1900's workings too...A very exciting area to explore...The gulch itself has no trash--zip, zero, not a single target...so I did the natural thing and started working the old upper benches, where the gulch bottom used to be a jillion years ago, and, sure 'nuff, I got a nice mellow target right off on what used to be an inside turn, but what is now 4 -5 feet above the current gut...Little half gram beauty, still imprinted with the quartz and pyrite crystal formations... Sure is fun ... Cheers, Yer Unc in the Dubyah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray in CA Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Hey Ron,No need to be embarrassed about dinks! I'll take a dink over the skunk anyday. And where there's one, there's bound to more. So hammer that patch real good. Did you find this with the 2100v2?Nice looking nuggie, by the way.Ray in CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin nuggethunting Posted October 23, 2007 Admin Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Hello Uncle Ron, No reason to be embarrassed, the smaller ones are more challenging to find. Congrats on the new area you found.Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
