Nice Gold Specimen Found with White's TDI

Hi,

The first nugget I found at my mine at Moore Creek with the White's TDI weighed 1.93 ounces. I was pretty tickled by that, figuring I'd have bragging rights for awhile.

Well, I'd better give credit where due. Some friends visited the mine in the fall. Bernie and Chris P from Soldotna, Alaska are both avid detectorists, having racked up many pounds of gold at Ganes Creek, Alaska over the years with the White's MXT.

But they were ready for something different. Chris in particular wanted to find some nice specimen gold. She can outhunt most guys but this was her first time using a PI detector. They hunted Ganes a week, and then came over to Moore Creek.

They both did well, but Chris outdid Bernie with this really nice 2.07 oz. gold/quartz specimen. And managed to beat my 1.93 oz. chunk in the process.

I just found myself a new background picture for my computer. Wow. That is pretty and makes me very jealous. I'm still looking for my first picker in my pan down here in Southern Calif.

Tell Chris that's an awesome nugget! But, I'm sure you already did ;D. One of those TDI's are definately on my "to get" list.
