Hi guys, I haven't posted for a while since lots of things have been going on.
Like I'm back in the states after some years out in the Dominican republic where i was currently gold dredging most of the time.. even though I did some placer mining with my 4" elevator which i created and was able to work some deposits.
Before anything I want to Thank this forum which has helped me over the years accomplish many difficulties in the build of my equipments.
so let me go to explain how I found the gold nugget...
so on my last trip i went up a very known creek where very lil miners have ever gone to prospect but as many know these areas are a Hit or Miss. After about a month of very lil gold to show we decided to carry our equipment down river to a more known area where lots of big nuggets have been found.
After like 3 days of moving down river our camp and equipment and setting everything up. i pulled out my dowsing rods which I love to use when I don't have much understanding of an area.
moments later after everything was setup and running we started to look like we was in a very promising area was hitting some natural large Hot rocks down close to bedrock which are good signs where we was at. After about a hour or so into our diving session the guy dredging pulled out this lovely 3 ounce nugget which was on resting on bedrock.
After cleaning it a bit more ..
