| Think the old timers got all the gold? Please do not try to
tell that to our old buddy Dick. He hit the jackpot recently with his
Tesoro Lobo Super Trak for a few smidgins of gold the old timers forgot to
find. About 40 ounces of smidgins to be exact. As a matter of fact this
hoard is just part of it, and it was all located in a very small
area. The largest nugget shown here weighs in at 8 ounces and his
little brother is a puny 7 ounces. Dick is a substitute school teacher
when he is not stumbling into pockets of gold, and he fell into these
particular beauties in the New Dale mining district near 29 Palms,
California. He horse traded some of these to me for a Minelab super
detector and proceeded to stumble into more nuggets. |
