I ran to Oregon with a good friend to detect for gold nuggets using the Minelab GPX series detectors for a couple days.
Attached are photos of my only gold find.
Awsome Gold Nugget -25.2 Troy Ounces
The specimen shown was found Thursday, Sept 25th. 2008. It has a dry weight of 25.2 Troy Ounces and I have not had a Specific Gravity Test done on it yet, but I am pretty sure there is not a whole lot of gold it in. I can see a small size glob of gold at one corner end and then some speckles of gold on the one side, but the other sides don’t show anything.
This is still a good find though and I found it right smack in the middle of other Minelab digs. In fact, there were dig holes 5 feet away.
It won’t take many finds like this to pay for the detector will it?
See you in the gold fields…
