Got 3 nugs today!


Recommended Posts

Hey all:
Well, dad and I decided to go out and take advantage of this glorious weather were having :)

Got out to the wash at 7. We hit some tribs that ran into a wash I have gotten gold out of before.

After detecting for 4 hrs and finding one bullet, one 22 shell and a piece of wire, im toast. According to my watch/thermometer, its 105 in the wash. Its 11:00 now.

On the way back im detecting bedrock and just kind of mosying along and I get a signal. Hmmm....how could this be? Ive hit this wash 4 times and NO ONE is better then me! :)
Well, lo and behold I pop a 1 grammer 2 inches down. Then I get another signal. I get this one in the spoon and it looks like a piece of rusty iron. I didnt have my glasses on so im thinking its just iron.

Got one more nug out of the area.

I find it very strange how the temp. dropped to about 75 deg. when I found the first nugget...very strange.....I had new energy and wasnt hot at all :)

Well, if theres more there...they can wait until cooler weather!
Got back to the truck and showed dad. He said, I think that bigger one is gold...rubs on it and sure enough it was gold! Nice fat little guy.

Had a good time today. Not really too hot. Good Lord blessed us with some gold and I lost about 5 lbs!

Heres the video of me digging the thing I thought was iron.

Hey Tom

Nice finds. amazing how that heat goes away when your finding gold. I dont think that area is done with you yet. :);):ph34r:

Good luck. AzNuggetBob

Bob:

These nugs were about 200 yards below where I had found the lowest gold in the wash before. So............theres a lot of ground to cover inbetween those two areas. Needs a shovel or two on it though.

B.B. I'll leave a few for ya! :)

Tom looking at the nuggets found today and the gold you found near by you have got a classic case of multiple sources. that's a good thing more gold, but harder to figure out the sources. Possibly stringers. AzNuggetBob
