LuckyLundy Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 You ever get up a little late 0630 hrs, have a couple cups of coffee, read the morning paper and the next thing you hear your local news weatherman saying its going to be warm today! I glanced at the wall clock 0720 hrs. Military training took over...dressed and truck loaded with my gear and out the drive way at 0730 hrs. Hiked out to the gold fields, we have 3 patches real close together and all of them are at the same stage of the life of a patch. Either your going to get dinks or that big trash target turns out to be a nice one. I was armed with my little 8" Commander, just for them dinks and as you may know they'll find a big one at depth too. Well it was warming up fast, a little to fast for me and I headed to the trash ditch in the shade of some oak tree to extend my day. Promising myself to dig only small sounding targets and not all that big old timer trash. Well I was digging a few nice small steel chunks and I ran across this booming target. I told myself OK, dig this one! Glad I did! It hit the scale at 13.4 dwt's and of course it's for sale! Until the next hunt,LuckyLundy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin nuggethunting Posted May 19, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Hey Lucky, Congrats on the new find. No doubt a very nice chunky piece of gold. Sometimes you just have to tell yourself to get out of bed and hit the goldfields. I tried this weekend, but just couldn't get out of bed .....
