Hi all today i went to the north end of the reef and worked up the only remaining side of the creek that cuts across the the surfacing saddle quartz reef.About 60 feet down stream near a large set of granite boulders i found what i thought to be a nugget that fell to be about 2 onces but i got it quite wrong.On the gold scales came at 34 grams. There is also pieces of iron stone in the nugget.So just how much gold i would say only 75%

Also picked up a really old marble, chiness med vile, and a brass cigar case top. I still have not found one coin in weeks.I got more than my share of junk to. brass fitting and old pot handles and iron.

Yeedoggy, a one ouncer, a big congrats and a corker!!! One find about pays for the detector. The bottle is nice too. I think having gold is better than a savings account the way things are going in the investment world. HH, Mike
 
That is a sweet nugget tinpan :thumbsup:
and a nice little bottle.
Mike

Do they drop nuggets like that in the playgrounds around here?!?
I wish.
Nice digs!
 
HI all thnks for the replies and i will not be going hunting for the next 9 days.We got very hot days 100 today and 110 tomorrow and so on. Thank god for air cons.Even too hot for me.

Those hot temps mean you will just have to get up at the crack of dawn and get in a few hours before the sun gets to high. Or, are you taking advantage of that nugget and retiring for 9 days, LOL. HH, Mike
