Admin nuggethunting Posted October 30, 2011 Admin Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Hello All, This morning a partner and I decided to explore some country we both have eyed for years. This particular area is not known for placer or lode gold, but does have some geologic signs that gold mineralization could be present. Well we proved it out today after 55+ miles of driving on the quads. Over the course of the day, we dug a good share of bullets, wire, casings, boot tacks and even a few small nuggets to let us know it's there! We were both using the Minelab GPX5000's with the Coiltek Blitz searchcoils. Pictured below are some pictures I took during the day. Two pictures of nuggets in nature and then a final picture of my take with some of the trash I dug. Like I said, nothing to write home about, but finding gold where they say it should be is fun. Take care,Rob Allison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin nuggethunting Posted October 31, 2011 Author Admin Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Hey Guys, Thanks for the kind words. Always great to get out there and find some gold in new spots. The quad needed a good workout since it's been sitting most of last year and a good portion of this year. Went back out today and found some more gold.

dutch john Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Hey Rob... Exciting... notice the oldtimer trash The rifle casing is from an old rifle... what caliber? Also the small casing may be that of a .22 short. Any old tin cans with soldered seams?... You may be in an oldtimer placer area. js Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
