Uncle Ron Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Yo All...Today was a great day for hunting gold nuggets in the big AZ...First of all, I finally realized that the falsing I've been experiencing n my rig was not my coils but my connections between my PocketRocket and my Doc's Goldscreamer Signal Enhancer...So I built myself a new five pin connector about 5" long ... What a difference that made...Second, I did an attitude shift...Montana Bob Dansie and I hunted together a few days ago and he pointed out an area that I'd always decided simply didn't have nuggets...But he found three nuggets there totaling shy of a quarter ounce...So, today, I started thinking about areas that I had decided "didn't have nuggets" for whatever reason...I started at the midpoint of a wash that I'd found nice gold at the top of...I beeped about ten feet and got a beer can sound... I almost didn't dig it, but then launched myself into a 20 minute bout of cursing and calling the noisey target everything but a nugget Finally, it dawned on me that the target was down in the green schisty bedrock...Guess what!!!! This beautiful and somewhat strange nugget, just shy of 1/4 ozt...Here, as usual, a bunch of pix...Your Unc in the Dubyah is a happy guy....Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howard farris Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 That is a real pretty and chunky little feller with some of the host material on it. Great work. I think even the most experienced nugget shooters need a dose of Bob Dansie every now and then. He's amazing. Keep up the good work. Slim.

Bandana Don Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 HEY RON YOU AND YOUR LATEST NUGGIET ARE LIVING PROOF THAT A DETECTORIST DOESN'T HAVE TO BUY THE LATEST PI TO FIND NUGGETS.

Uncle Ron Posted December 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Hi Cuz, Don & guys....Slim, you're right, just about every time Montana & I have hunted together I've picked up a nuance or concept that turned into nuggets in short order...The other day he told me, "Now go clean up that spot," and 20' into it I hit that nugget...I'll be going back, of course, but I usually quit after getting my nugget bone gently massaged...For me it's the hunt, the find then hang out with Mom Desert and enjoy...Don't get rich that way, but sure feels good...Cheers, Unc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim P. Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Nice one Ron! Don't take this wrong, but it gets me all excited Just thinking about the rest of that vein sitting out there waiting to be found. Good luck!. Later...Jim P.

Admin nuggethunting Posted December 9, 2008 Admin Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Hey Uncle Ron, Congrats on another great find! Sure gives all the new guys some encouragement when they see these type of finds still being picked up out there. Hey get rid of that old Babbo and get a big Boy's Metal Detector! LOL .... Take care,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Ron Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Yo Jim & Rob....This is a very mineralized area and it sure has provided some interesting nuggets...Within a radius of about 1/2 mile I've pulled about a half pound (troy) of nice nuggets this year...They didn't come easy but they did come fun...Rob, I am using a big boys' detector...It doesn't have a TV screen and it works even when I accidently drag it behind the quad....
