Hey Barry,

Very nice finds! Yes they are better looking that the stuff I'm finding. :o Sure looks like you got a hang of that metal detector with the nice finds you have been pulling.

What is some of the history as far as large nuggets being found in that area?

Talk with you later,

Rob Allison

Without a doubt luck! An old panner told me about and area he had found 12 nuggets in a propsect pit. These are the pieces he missed. The first was approximately 18" down and 10" into the side of the pit. The second was 12" below the first. Afterwards I dug three feet back checking every 8" to 10" to find the rest.

I've been thinking about what you said here I've come to the wise conclusion it was more knowledge than luck... :wacko: It may have been a bit of luck that the old panner told you about the pit but it was knowledge in the pit that really found the gold right? Anyhow good find and good luck in the future.
