Wow what a trip! Let me start by getting my second of fame (actually 30 days worth) with what I thought was the biggest nugget found at the goldfield exactly 1 month ago from my birthday. I finally found an area that had been ground sluiced in Shasta County 3 years ago from the 1850's that is giving up large gold instead of the usual grainers and some nice relics too. 295 grains was the top piece for a while with a tight second at 292 grains from the Goldbug Man. I lost contact with him but hell he may have us all beat. Recently we have been finding quite a few 1/4 ouncers then I doubled my best find out there with a whopping 592 grain or 1.23 ounce nugget. I call it the Taffy nugget because it looks like are Cocker Spaniel dogs cute little head. And the other 2 at 145.5 grains and a 24 grainer for a total that day of 1.58 ounces my best day.




Robert or know as WheelBubble and Glenn owner of the This and That Mining Store out of Etna CA has been hunting with me there recently. Unfortunately we do not live close by to this spot 7 miles long by 2 miles wide so we do not get to hunt it like we would like too. Wheelbubble was having a rough time getting his first nugget there but finally did and then was on a roll little did we know what the future had in store for him though, hehe. One thing about Robert is he has been immune to the gold fever though he doesn’t seem to get excited over the gold he can take it or leave it rare breed indeed. Anyhow it wasn’t to long after we arrived that Robert came out of a drainage that I recently found a 3 pennyweight nugget in carrying his 13 ounce + pound solid gold nugget grinning ear to ear. Me, my dad and Glenn mouths dropped, eyes bulged and mouths drooled at this massive beast. Robert soon was more worried about who was winning the Super Bowl hehe! Glenn ended up pulling out a 100 grainer and we wont say what happen to me this trip. This particular nugget could have been found by any cheap detector that goes for allot of the gold being found out here at the Goldfield.

Still waiting for Part 2 the pictures of the Super Bowl Nugget!!!
