Admin nuggethunting Posted April 12, 2013 Author Admin Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Hey Guys, Thanks for all the comments. It's just great to know it's still out there to be found. Patches like this are out there, but tough to find. The gold was found in Central Arizona. Not a big story behind the finds, just the fact they were all found on shallow bedrock in cracks/crevices. The area was hit hard by the old-timers and there is a good amount of iron rubbish around. If it wasn't for a quick nugget find, we all might have bypassed this area and never knew it had this kind of potential. The oldtimers missed several good cracks, but many of them had broken pick tips, crevice tool tips, old pocket knives and a lot of iron rubbish. Majority of the wash is deep, not much exposed bedrock. All the pieces we found were on shallow bedrock. I'm sure there are more, but it's going to require digging through a lot of trash. Many of those loud trash targets can't be ignored due to the size of the nuggets now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
