Gold Nugget! Doesn't this little gold nugget look just like a person running!

[/ATTACH] The Running Man Nugget.jpg I found this little nugget on Indian Creek near the West Branch Campground. It was my first experience using a fossiker. This fossiker of mine is an amazing prospecting tool. weighs in at around a pound. It is considered a gold pan or as they are called a production pan. Boy is it! I ran over a hundred 5 gallon buckets in a day using this thing. I have to say that for prospecting placer gold in rough and remote terrain, there is no better tool than a fossiker (also called the Pyramid Pan)

Tell me folks am I trippin or does this little gold nugget look just like a person running! In any event I have dubbed this find The Running Man Nugget!

Peyote? Gold? What's the connection? Is that what made the little nugget man run? Or, is he too "peyoted" to run?

All the best,

The Pyramid pan really goes through the material fast. I can pan a 5 gallon bucket in maybe 5 minutes.
