Geeze, I'm worn out watching it. Heck of a find, and persistence paid off again.

I'm glad you told us it was in fast forward, for a minute I thought you might of had too many energy drinks

Now that is inspiration! Thanks for posting the video Terry!

After watching that guy pick out that gold, I will never give up so easily. Thanks Terry for the great video!

Once you get that far into that cemented stuff, you just have to believe it's got to be something good. I remember hammering my way through it in Arizona, and it's a huge zero on the fun scale!

Thanks for posting the video, and all the best,

LOL! It is so true Lanny. You start chipping away with your Hermit Pick (Shameless Brand Placement for Calvin "Bunk" Bunker), and after 30-minutes, sweat dripping down your glasses, and taking your gloves off to wipe your brow, get a drink and re-group, You KNOW there is a huge lunker waiting for you inside this block of desert concrete. After another 15-minutes of swinging your pick, checking the target, and swinging your pick - You find it!

A lead bullet.

That nugget looks familiar...

I was finding them cemented into the caliche all over that particular area and almost none in the dirt itself, that one was the deepest though. I started carrying the ole Estwing in my pack and that made it easier.

Note to self... design a cordless, lightweight miniature jack hammer.

Coincidentally I just bought one and making another vid with it - a 36v cordless rotary hammer - which I'm using to mine something right now that isn't gold (if the rain would ever stop!!).
