Our first gold nugget found digging for gold. It was very exciting to actually find a nugget laying in the top of our drywasher. It was actually lying in the "nugget trap" just like its supposed to if your come across one. This one weighed a gram which is worth about $40. When your running the drywasher the rock is so dirty and there is a lot of dust flying but the nugget actually stood out and caught your eye. It didn't quite shine but when you picked it up and looked at it closely you knew it was gold.
Of course, we haven't found anything else like it or even close to it since we found this piece. We go out several days a week now digging. We are trying to get as much digging in as we can because it will rain soon and then we will be done for quite awhile.
Its starting to look a lot like Christmas with everyone decorating their RV or home. There are several streets where every place on the street has an abundance of decorations. Its quite pretty and sure brightens up these dark days. I kind of miss the tumbleweed snowmen they had in New Mexico. No tumbleweeds here just cactus and dust.
