MrSandsman Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Well I got back out today and did some beeping in our old stomping grounds not really expecting to find anything. The day started out kind of slow I woke up late forgot breakfast and found one of my boots soles to be comming off. Wow what a way to start off the day. At this point I was really thinking about going back to bed . But we are prospectors and I told myself and things are not always easy so off to the hunting grounds I went. A good thing too because in my first spot I wanted to go back to I came up with this beauty . It is just shy of 1/4 ounce by a few grains .

Admin nuggethunting Posted November 14, 2007 Admin Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Hey Hot Rock, Congrats on the nice 1/4 ounce gold nugget! I think I left that one behind for you. I'm sure there are more nuggets up at that area.Congrats once again,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSandsman Posted November 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Colorado Bob: It was about 6" deep and some over burden was around it kind of made it hard to dig. See the new pic below.Uncle Ron: Yup a beautiful AZ nugget basking in the sun after god knows how long of being burried. It was wedged (Spelling?) under the bedrock and I had to use my pick to pop it out. sure is amazing how gold finds its way into such small spaces. Rob: You can leave those behind for me anytime you would like I really don't mind carring them out. Happy HuntingHotRock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Scott Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Wow, nice 1/4 ouncer. I love the in situ shot as well. I'm always happy when I can get that picture before dropping a new one in the poke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSandsman Posted November 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 I always try to get the in situ shots they are my favorite. Its like when I take pic before I remove the gold I am the last person if not the only person on Earth who has seen that nugget in that way and after I remove it thats it. I like seeing Robs in Nature shots page it too has some really good in situ shots. Happy HuntingHotRock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
