pkirkll Posted May 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Way to go, nice find with a little foul weather. Don't stop now things are lookin good .Well honestly,I did have to stop after I found this one Frank,,I have a cold and that weather was/is killing me...but I think i have showed it off to everyone in Carson already...even the Chinese tour bus out in Fernley got a chance to take some pictures!!! i am sure they think American gold is laying on the ground. I pointed them out towards the dry lake bed i remember saying to someone, "If i ever find a decent size piece, I wont tell anyone!" NOT'Good hunting !!

NuggetHead Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Way to go on the nugget! When you say Carson sure reminds me of home. Did you move there are just visiting? Recently moved to Placerville from there but might have a city job there soon so will be moving back. The hills in the back ground look familiar but not sure, but looks like the same range my land in on. Ive got a couple pieces of gold out of the Carson area but my best has been taking dirt to the river and sluiceing it. 3.5 ozs out of a streak I found and it only took three truck loads of dirt.LOL Way to go on the find Keep em coming!!!HH Nuggethead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
