Even with my favorite top-of-the-line gold detector there were several false digs. Many of the hot rocks gave a solid signal that was too much like a nugget to ignore. After trying several tests I just dug everything because it is better to be safe than leave a big, deep nugget for a more diligent gold hunter.

I’ve been following the precious metals for decades, and I haven’t seen a move this powerful in many years.

I poked my head out of the water and said, “You won’t believe what I am going to show you!”

There is always an overwhelming feeling when finding gold of any size, but one like this doesn’t come along very often.
