Looks like your working a spot the Chinese were working! Years ago.

 

[rodoconnor]

That is a Chinese coin. Lots of them the Mother Lode area. Cool to find

another thing i found... this rock looks like melted metal. there is evidence of some kind of cutting wheel that was used on it. its pretty heavy so i broke it open and there is some kind of copper glimmer inside.

 

[tweeta_bear]

never seen this with my keene!

gold on the deck!

 

[Prospector70]

You never saw gold sitting on your Keene's assayer mat?

 

[tweeta_bear]

Nope... well wait im lieing i did see it ONE time.

 

[Prospector70]

Seeing 20-30 little starshines on that assayer's matting is what got me hooked

 

[tweeta_bear]

That coin is badass by the way, all I found yesterday interesting (other than the gold natcherlly) was an unfired 9mm bullet.

i think im finally gonna check out ralston creek today! i took a walk down the path a while back and found a bend that got some pretty big trees along the one edge. i believe these trees are at least 100 yrs old.

 

[Prospector70]

Nice Day for it Tweeta, let us know how you do!

I hope you get a bundle!

After reading all of the reviews on TN about these things I came to the conclusion that I must get one. I chase a lot of finer gold and classifying kills me, it just takes to much time. Water flow is never an issue but size can be for a few locations I go. I believe that the prospector 36" should fit my needs well. Now the question to all you bazooka users/ fans, regular weight or heavy? I am not to concerned with weight but it seems the heavy would be a little tougher. Is that true? Now for grizzly size regular or large? I can see where if by chance you were on a hole that had the chance to show some 1/4" nuggets the large would be your best options. But if I most likely won't be in area with that kind of gold would the larger grizzly end up taking of to much material filling the box? Any thoughts and suggestions would be great, thanks.

Hey sorry to De-Rail your thread, I just realized! Did you get your BGT yet?

 

[tweeta_bear]

me too... got to go back home i forgot my coffee.

 

[tweeta_bear]

hey 70 do you use a moble app or the net for this forum?

 

[Prospector70]

I use the net, I figure I'm going to hit nugget land and some tech whiz will be able to locate me on gps rofl!

 

[KevinInColorado]

I use the mobile app every day, much superior to the traditional web site in most ways I think. I did turn off the gps tagging of photos on my phone tho...keeping my hot spots to myself ;-)

 

[tweeta_bear]

LOL...Shoot Kevin...If anyone really did want to keep track of you...They could do that as long as you are in possession of your phone and there is a charged battery in your phone...Even if your phone is turned off...Don't you know thatBig Brother is a S.O.B....
