Some of you guys know a few weeks ago I was headed to Alaska to do some prospecting at Moore Creek. Some unforseen things came up and I made the decision that it would be best to put it off to next year.
I had scheduled some time off, so I took a day and went for a 3 day trip to do some prospecting - not Alaska, but still some time in the boonies to do a little metal detecting. I ended up with 4 pieces, total weight of 3/4 ounce, including one piece just a hair under a half ounce (9.8 dwt). Pretty country and nice weather this time of year, just too bad I couldn't stay longer.
The two pieces on the left have a definite crystal character - but it does not show so well in the photo as none of them have had a bath yet. Still pretty just as they came from the ground.
Not Alaska, but a darn good trip anyway. My wife says its my consolation prize for missing the Alaska trip.
