Imagine finding a huge gold nugget like this?
If you’re into gold medal detecting, you certainly know what it feels like to get a good signal and then dig up a nice good or gold nugget. (more…)
We’re running a small gold mining operation for a little while. This is a trial to see if the ground is productive enough to keep digging it.
The ground type is cap rock, hard like cement and not easy on the machine and its operator Adrian. This is day 1 of our attempt to mine big gold (a 50 ouncer was found in this exact spot). I’m looking forward to be working at this gold mine for a bit.
Digging out the 50 gold nugget hole, which i actually believe had 62 nuggets in it (so far).
The 50 nugget hole is actually only 25m away from 3 x different camp fires and old workings that have been done to death and 20m from a main track through a mining area. (more…)
NZ gold prospectors have their best day ever! They made a little mistake on the video in their excitement of weighing the nugget when we went from grams to oz and forgot to put it into troy oz , so the nugget was 3.98oz not 4 2oz. (more…)
Checking our an open gold mining claim off N. Hot Springs Road, Arizona.
The gold prospecting areas around Wickenburg and Morristown are still very productive.
My buddy, who was using a recirculating high banker, did find some color, but not enough to make it worthwhile to revisit this site. (more…)
