Found a nice $50 Nevada nugget 1 Attachment(s) I haven't been out to Nevada as much as I've wanted recently, but was out this weekend doing a bit of exploring, and found this in a spot I had not tested before. It was found out in the desert some miles north west of Rye Patch. There was some dry washing in the ravines and I found it on a slope around 50 feet away from the old dry wash diggings. The weight is right at 1 dwt (or 1/20th of an ounce). Overall the weather was just beautiful. It has a bit of the angular chevron form that northern Nevada is famous for, but its just not as well developed as the true chevron types. I have no doubt this spot could throw out some of the regular chevron variety - a number of the spots in Northern Nevada produce this type of gold. Chris

Re: Found a nice $50 Nevada nugget Far out! Did you find the nickle there also? Maybe it is an old claim nearby.

Re: Found a nice $50 Nevada nugget Thanks guys. Finding your own gold out in the field is always a great experience. The nickel is something I bought years ago. I've only found one buffalo nickel with my detector and it wasnt in nearly such nice shape. I put it in the pictures for scale - they are exactly the same size and weight as a modern Jefferson nickel. Chris
