No detector = Nugget

Went for a small hike to a little creek with NuggetNate for a sluicing session.

Did the usual sample here and there, with not enough gold to quench my thirst I moved further down stream.

Found a nice spot I could work the sluice and be close to some juicy looking bedrock.

I went to work moving rocks and feeding the sluice when I noticed a large shine in the flare of my sluice.

I thought no must be one of those quartz rocks or a pc of yellow clay rock like it usually is.

Fed some more material in and noticed it was still in the same spot, so I reached in and grabbed it and as soon as it was out of the water I knew it was GOLD!!

I could hardly contain myself at this point. I took a few looks at it popped it in my mouth and headed up stream to show NuggetNate what I had found.

Had a super duper time sluicing with NuggetNate in the cold and the rain.

The rain eventually turned to a down pour so we headed home with some nice gold!!


The nugget weighted in at 1.5 grams but looks bigger..lol

Good luck to you all and don't let the rain stop ya.

Was a fun outing! My total wasn't quite as impressive lol. I don't move around quite as much. Chose a hole where the bedrock stayed level under the bank. Most of the gold I found had manganese on it. Lots of lead and pyrite nuggets too. Sorry forgot to take a pic of what I got!

Nice find... It would be so nice to have that glowing out of my sluice box soon....

Thanks for the compliments on the nugget.

Made for a great day out, I think a 1.5 gram nugget keeps you smiling for about a week.

Not every day is a nugget day but sher feels good when you find one.
