Uncle Ron Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Yo All...A few days ago I got back on a patch that's produced some very distinctive gold that looks like it just fell off the vein, but it's very scattered ... I've also found a few meteorites in the area too....This little .6 grammer I found in a 2 foot square red patch of dirt with a couple of "compass cacti" growing out of it...All the rest of the ground around it was a barren grey, but this little red patch popped just this little guy...Bears out the old prospectors' tip of looking for the ring of barrel cactus in a red patch...That tip's got me quite a few nuggets over the years...Cheers, Yer Unc in the Dubyah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted May 20, 2009 Admin Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Hey Ron, Congrats on the new nugget addition. It's amazing how some of those red patches can produce nuggets and even good patches, but I've also hunted hundreds of them that don't have a single nugget around. Wishing you much more success.Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeker Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Nice one Ron, I've been dreaming about this hillside placer that I had pulled several nice nuggets out of in the past, I know its still there and its far from empty.........Geo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
