I'm BACK! :)

Hi everybody!

Whelp after a super long time of not having reliable internet I have good internet again and am able to troll :alien: the threads again! lol

I also have not posted new vids for over a year but will be getting some more on my YouTube Channel CrainRacing - YouTube

I have continued to snipe and prospect all over and did awesome last summer and have done OK this summer but nothing like my first two summers.

I have 20 grams sitting ontop of the fridge right now and a bunch of nuggets and pickers totaling about 10 more grams from this season.
I had to let go of about 8 grams this season too to cover some costs.
So as you can see, not as good as the last two years when I had ounces stacking up but still tons of fun. :)

My best ever nugget was found this year, a 4 gram bison looking nugget.... but..... I broke a little chunk off when removing it from the bedrock so now its 3.4 grams without the chunk and 4 with, but I keep them together. Still, not bad. :)

Only 1 silver coin popped up this year so far, a nice 1939 Mercury Dime in GOOD condition.
Although I did find some neat rings. One is so heavily encrusted that I cant tell what metal it is but right where a Diamond would be mounted is a HUGE chunk of bluestone, its pretty cool, like a rotting pirate ring. :D The other ring I found a couple days ago sniping was a silver plated spoon with roses on the front and back that had been flattened and bent back around into about a size 15 ring. Most of the silver was missing but it was still a really cool find.


I have to take some pics tonight to post.


Thanks for the warm welcome back everyone, happy sniping. :)


The nuggets on the bottom are some that I still have, the large one of the bottom is the 3.4/4 grammer.
The Corn Flake nugget above was found in some blue clay sticking straight up. I sold those three nuggets for $200 last Christmas so that I could buy my daughter a really nice Tablet.

Thanks, its good to be back with like minded friends. :)
 

Thank you, I covered a lot of ground to find it all. :P
I don't know what it is but I think gold from Shasta and Trinity Counties is just more brilliant than most other places.
 

welcome Neo, wanna see some real glimmer of gold try the Merced Area, JMHO seems the further south i go the brighter that AU shines. Of course i would not complain if i found shine like yours sweet
 

Thanks again everyone. :)

I have wanted to hunt south of here and in the Motherlode area's but have not gotten a chance to yet.
I know Pville wanted to head a couple trips the last time I was here, maybe he still wants to. :)

Fullpan, one of my good buds on here, glad to see your still here too. :)
Yup, Redding and western Shasta counties are awesome places to find gold, I am lucky to be here. :D
I don't mind sharing advice either, but only my inner circles like Fullpan get to know my hotspots when they visit. ;)
 

Welcome back and super nice gold!
 

Thanks for the kind words Neo - fyi, "Pville" has changed his username to "Goldwasher"
 

Ahh, thanks for the heads up. :)
 

Yay, welcome back!
 

Nope, never does.
Right now I am trying to get enough money together without selling too much of my stuff for an ATX Extreme. :)

I am half way there with small gold, just need to sell some of those mustang parts I have boxed away now.
 

Welcome back Neo, good health and good hunting...
