DolanDave Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 While out Sunday, I heard a slight wobble on the detector.Already having dug a dozen trash targets I assumed this to be another lead bullet. Having found this piece I would have expected to have the nugget blast my ears off, but I found the nugget wedged between the 2 pieces of bedrock as shown in the picture, laying vertically. Always digging everything payed off, this time!! The smaller nugget was found on some caliche in another location.Keep on digging everything, and eventually it will pay off.Dave.

highbanker58 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Dave- I had the same situation last year, been digging targets all day and no GOLD. I got a whopper of signal, blew my ears off. It was a 44 caliber slug. As I was kicking the dirt back into the hole, I remembered to re-check the hole. There was still a signal in the hole, after digging another 16" deeper, an 18 gram solid gold nugget was in my scoop. I almost left it for the next guy. I'll never forget that day and will always re-check every hole ,no matter what came out of it first !!! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
