silver dog doug Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I just got back from visiting my Daughter and a few days of detecting the tailing piles in Boise Basin. I found 3 pieces of quartz . I gave the small one to my Grandson, who went with me on 3 ocasions. Of the 2 remaining pieces, I crushed the smallest. containing ( 7 dwt.) over 1/3 oz. of gold. Hope that I can post a couple pictures, if not mabe Rob. will help. I can't post the Pictures, sorry. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 It is hard enough to find gold in a spot you know. Finding gold in a far away from home location is just outstanding. Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver dog doug Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Matt, You are right. I did a lot of home work before I went. and made maps of Boise Basin. The first day that I was there, I spent talking to everyone that I saw. It paid off, and I was able to get permission to hunt a large area, covered with Tailings from the old dredges. On Monday I found the 3 pieces and only found the Skunk the rest of the week, but came home a happy camper. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
