silver dog doug Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 I spent 4 days in Stanton and all I had to show was the Skunk . After a half day in Greaterville, I lost the Skunk with a half dwt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give that general area a good working out!LuckyLundyLucky, Its the same area that I found all those pickers last year. When you get the skunk, you have to go where you know there's gold. You know what I mean. Find that big one, it's out there. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burta Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Nice nugget Doug. Glad to hear someone is still putting some time in down there. I gave up on Greaterville a year ago after someone staked most of the ground and the FS closed off one of the claims. That wouldn't have stopped me but I was coming up out of a wash one day with a 1/2 ounce piece and a couple smaller ones in my pocket and there was a forest ranger waiting for me. He told me not to be beeping on FS land or 50 50 land. That leaves only a couple claims to work and they have been beat to death. I don't want to lose a $5,000 machine to smokey the bear. Its to bad because there is still lots of big gold down there but not worth the price so the 4500 has been in the closet since then. Think I'll get rid of it and get a new relic machine. Maybe I can at least hunt something somewhere.Happy hunting. AL.C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted November 26, 2009 Admin Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Hello Doug, Congrats on your Greaterville nugget. Sorry to hear the Weaver claims didn't pan out. I talked with a couple of guys this weekend that found a few small ones over there lately, but you have to kind of know where to hunt (old isolated patches). Wish we could have hooked up, but looking forward to heading down your way soon. Wishing you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving.
