Had a very short break in the weather and snuck out to an old mining camp site where I have found a flying eagle cent and Ron has found a Reale and an 1864 Indian Head Penny. Looking for the old relics and coins now that the grass is down. Got a shallow signal coming up 11-19 on the CTX3030. Was on the phone doing the old cell phone under the headphone trick and this beautiful nugget was only a 1/2" deep. Funny thing is, it was my detecting buddy Ron calling to see if I had any luck and I was about to say no. Was very pleasantly surprised to say the least! Weighs in at 3.8 dWt. But what a looker!
