Was the area you were at on a claim, private property, BLM or Forest Service land? Not looking for exact location (don't expect you to divulge) just the general area.

blues_dad Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 very nice nuggs...were there any fines along with the nuggets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Runner Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 That has got to be the best gold I've seen coming out of a pan in along time.I'm not sure if I want to ask where he was are what kind of pan was he using. Hey blues dad It's good to see your name pop up again.You take a long look at that gold because you should have come back from Ca. after that dredging trip you went on and showed some gold just like that. You just don't give up and your day will come.It's like nugget hunting you don't hit the big mother the first time out. Chuck Anders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck AndersOh yeah, I know Chuck, I just ended up getting hooked up with someone who didn't want to work all that hard. I mean, noon starts and 5 pm finishes doesn't come out to be a great day. Didn't help that it took him 4 weeks to get the 8" up and running. When dredging is good to go in Cali again, I'll be back out there. For now, I guess I'll just have to waste my money on dredge cons to get a little panning in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
platinumminer Posted August 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 I am sort of sworn to keep the location quiet but how about - 'only in Canada - eh!' No fines on the first go-round but then the work is in progress - maybe there will be more pics later in the year.GS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
