Guest Bunk Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 If you find 4 nuggets in a 100' circle, does that make a patch? Pictures in the next couple of days as I am still camping and going to hit this area again in the morning.Bunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COLORADO BOB Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Hey Bunk,Nice gold indeed. You can call that your four nugget patch. Where there is four there should be a bit more. However I have found one, two or even three in a small area like that and then worked the entire area again using a slow grid pattern and nothing else was found. Could still hold some nuggets but not at a depth that the detector would pick up on.Was you at the hill Sat.? If so did anyone find anything???Bob T.

Admin nuggethunting Posted November 26, 2007 Admin Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Hello Bunk, Congrats on finding a mini-patch so far. I would circle around the area at least a hundred or so feet. If that don't produce anything, go direct up the hill or slope if present. You might be onto a "run," which normally run in a straight line down a hill or slope. Hope you find more,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bunk Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 I got one more out of my new spot this morning. I checked around it a little and there dosn't seem to be anything out side the circle. Some cleaned pics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin nuggethunting Posted November 27, 2007 Admin Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Hello Bunk, Thanks for posting the nuggets cleaned up. They sure look nice and could probably guess where they came from within a few hundred yards. Found some real beauties around that spot. Keep checking the area out,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Ron Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Yo Calvin...Take a regular strong rake out there and rake the area down in direction of the gravity from your already finds, above and below...You will be very surprised what raking down the rocks, then a second, third and fourth raking, will produce in areas of "fresh" coarse gold...That gold reminds me of some hot spots I got into around the Red Basin/Vulture area a few years back...A few nuggets, then nothing....Then repeated rakings that produced around 75 plus nuggets with awesome character, but only a couple ounces in weight....Good luck and keep us posted with your next finds...Cheers, Yer Unc in the Dubyah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
