Uncle Ron 20 Report post Posted November 25, 2009 Yo All...Today, I hit last week's patch just one more time even tho' I was pretty sure I'd cleaned it out ... But, instead of the NF DD 14" XP coil, I switched back to my ol' favorite, the NF Mono 14"E ... Glad I did, because literally the moment I stepped into the little gully, my first swing was a sound target--Gold...After sucking the dirt off and taking a picture, I stood up turned around and, bang, another target--another nugget ... They weighed in at .9 grams and 1.0 grams .... A little while later I headed up toward the ridge top and got a hard deep signal right in the middle of some good red dirt ... Another piece of the Wickenburg Meteorite ... 16 grams down about 12"... Plus, it was another beautiful warm day in the mid-70's ... A great day of nugget shooting in the big AZ ... Here's pix...Cheers, Unc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gary 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2010 Hey Cuz, Cool stuff! Nice gold, and it must be close to dinner time, cause the reddish looking space rock on the left looks remarkably like a yummy finger steak about to get dipped in some fry sauce... Keep it up! Jealous as hell... Cuz Gary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
