dutch john Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Rob... I just got a copy of Dr. Erik Melchiorre's book. Volumn l, Northern Dome Rock Mountains.It is a great read!. I found the section of "Geochemisty of the Placer Gold," pgs 112-117, mostvaluable information for anyone who is interested in "black sands." As for me, I now look foreward to Vol. 2, Southern Dome Rock Mns. My old stomping groundsin the 1980's. Also, last but not least, the photos of Rob's nuggets and "speci" are great eye candy.

Admin nuggethunting Posted July 3, 2012 Author Admin Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Hey Jim, Thanks for the reply. I sure miss the Quartzsite area. Used to be one of my favorite spots to hunt back in the early 90's, but just too much traffic out there now. Thanks for the comments on the nuggets and specimens, several of them didn't make the book that should have. Talk with you later,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
