I would like to introduce myself...

[ZlatoZaMene]

I just want to introduce myself. I have been hunting nuggets for 15 years or so. Started with a whites Vsat Goldmaster. Had some success. Today I run a M/L 4500 and work the California Motherlode regions. I have had some great success lately do to upgrading to a PI machine and the sites I work are very good. Hope to be a regular contributor to this great forum...

Hi Axeman...your right ! man, love my Minelab, I am in love with her...just don't tell my wife. I will post a few..let me give it a shot.

The first one next to the dime weighs in at 10 grams.I found this one on a site I work on a few times a year. It was cleaned by a friend with acid...looks pretty cool. The second was found below a tailing pile.

 

[ZlatoZaMene]

This one here is one of my favorites...wish I could have found more. But it weighs in at 14.3 grams. It has crystalline towers..and looks like a coral reef. The beauty is the gold and crystals popping around.

Welcome, and what a great specimen. The word 'awesome' comes to mind.

I am heading from LA to Reno in September, could you advise if the motherload region is in this locality ??? Are you be able to point me in the right direction for some website research.

Wally69, the California Motherlode region cuts thru many counties...you can find loads of information about it on line. If your interested in hunting, remember it's like Australia...you have lots of private property you can NOT search without permission. Than there is Federal lands...that are open, unless claimed by others. The best thing to do is join a club in the region your interested in usually 40-75 bucks per year and hunt their claims. Good Luck !
