Admin nuggethunting Posted June 19, 2009 Admin Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Hello All, Just wanted to let you all know that a 32.2 ounce solid gold nugget was found this week at Moore Creek. The finder is Ken P. from Arizona/Anchorage. I believe he found it Wednesday from what I was told and it was about 300 feet from camp. Steve H. mentioned the nugget was practically solid with only a small bit of quartz attached. Steve also mentioned it was one of the best gold nugget he has ever seen.Congrats to Ken P., it couldn't have happened to a better guy. Hope to see pictures soon.\Take care,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grubstake Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 When he was here, he was running a 4000, in fact he has two control boxes, one for back up, that he can quickly change. Grubstake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZNuggetBob Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Congrats Ken, sounds like you've paid your dues on equipment. Sometimes the gold is closer than some think.

Hammer Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Congratulations to Ken. Sounds like he knows his equipment and how to back it up and get results.. WHATS NOT TO LIKE when some one is that organized and brings home the GOLD--32 ounces no less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamikaze Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 You'll have to wait for a few days for pics of the monster nugget...Ken is still at MC until Wed and then leave McGrath for Anchorage on Thurs. There's no internet this year at MC so pics will probably have to wait until then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
