    Butt Ugly nugget

    Well, after 5 days of Nevada desert hunting, I was ready to go home. My poke was empty and my spirits were too. Our group hunted long and hard at the 2nd Annual Jim Williams Memorial Hunt this last Memorial Day weekend. Between 11 of us, there were only 7 small nuggets found, 4 of those to one...

    Check this out!

    Hey guys! For all of you who are trying to figure out a way to haul your quads and a trailer at the same time without filling up your pickup bed, take a look at this. I've been looking at this baby for a couple of years now, and am finally going to take the plunge. My old tent trailer is just...

    Any South Dakotans here?

    My hunting partner is going to be around Mt Rushmore for a few days, May 9th & 10th, and was wondering if there was any place he could nugget hunt in the area. Any body know of a place nearby? Thanks, Digger Bob

    Looking Back

    Meteorite? pics

    Well, let's see if this works. I'm not sure I can get two pics on at the same time. This "rock" is flat like an old piece of iron but not rusty. The edge on shot is not very good but it is shiney, a definate metallic sheen. It is highly magnetic. But it shows like a hot rock on my coin...

    Meteorites?

    Ok, here's a question for all you experts out there. I think I may have found an "iron" meteorite. How can I tell? How does it respond to a coin detector as far as identifying it? Where does it land on the ID scale? What does it sound like? What are they made of, iron / nickel composite...

    Off topic joke;-)

    Voted Best Joke of the Year in Australia : A man walks into his bedroom with a sheep under his arm and says: "Darling, this is the pig I have sex with when you have a headache." His girlfriend is lying in bed and replies: "I think you'll find that's a sheep, you idiot." The man says...

    Malachite

    Ok, last one from the Smithsonian. I took this one more as a joke for a female friend of mine. I figured she'd come up with some sort of rude comment about it, and I wasn't disapointed! Unfortunatly, I can't print it here. Even if Doc was here to censor it, I'm sure someone else would...

    The Hope Diamond

    Dang, things are slow here. I'll see if I can spice things up by posting a few pictures. Here's a shot of the famous Hope Diamond. This is another one of those I got at the Smithsonian Gem and Mineral Exhibit in Washington DC. [attachment 13460 CIMG0081.JPG] [attachment 13461 CIMG0083.JPG]

    No gold back East?

    I spent a few days back in DC over Thanksgiving and took in the Gem and Mineral Exhibit at the Smithsonian. Here's a shot of a couple of nuggets that came from, of all places, Spotsylvania Virginia. There's no weight listed for them but I would guess the top one at at least 15 ounces. The second...

    Visit to the Smithsonian

    [attachment 11849 Thanksgiving2005041.jpg]Hey guys, I just spent a whirlwind Thanksgiving weekend in Washington DC visiting with family. This was my first trip that far east since I was a kid and we managed to cram a lot of sightseeing into one day. Despite the 30 degree temps, we did a...

    Rye Patch not hunted out yet!

    I had meant to post this earlier, but my new camera messed up the pictures and I was hoping to get better ones from someone else. At any rate, several of us went out about 3 weeks ago for 4 days. There were about 8 nuggets found most under 1 dwt. I got one right in the middle of the road that...

    Recent Nevada trip

    Ok, things are a little slow here. Let me see if I can add something that might interest someone. At least try out this new picture posting program. My annual Labor Day trip out to the desert is not a prospecting or treasure hunting trip. This is a 22 year tradition with my best friend that...
