Admin nuggethunting Posted January 13, 2008 Admin Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Hello All, Today Leaverite and I done some recon in some new spots. The area required quads and a lot of leg-work. However, the long haul landed us with almost a dozen gold nuggets and a new area to prospect. Leaverite found signs of old hand-stacking in one remote wash where a few gold nuggets were found today. I ended up with (8) and Leaverite with (3). All the gold nuggets were found with Minelab GPX-4000's and Secret Coiltek Searchcoils. Take a gander at the pictures below.

DigAU Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Hey Rob, another great job of finding nuggets !! Do you think a jeep would have made that trip or is the quad the way to go. I want to get to where I can get back to some of the places you guys get to.Thanks Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin nuggethunting Posted January 14, 2008 Author Admin Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Hello Guys, Terry - A high clearance Jeep or quad is the way to go. For years I was tearing up my 2000 GMC Full-size trying to access some of these areas. I finally broke down and purchased a Polaris 500 EFI Deluxe Sportsman! I'm now able to travel faster, less wear and tear on my vehicle and see country that I've never accessed before (too far to hike). Mick - Drove by that way a couple weeks ago and thought about stopping by, but didn't have your number off hand. Another guy that is staying in that same park just recently purchased a GPX-4000. We still need to get out together like I promised. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Take care,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamikaze Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Nice nuggets Rob and Dennis! By the way Rob, is that another camera trick or has orange gone brown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted January 17, 2008 Author Admin Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hello Gaine, No camera trick there my friend, that is the new color! That is actually a test coil, but the new ones will be the same color. The coils are very impressive to say the least. Talk with you later,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
