| Greg has been busy. Picture of our gold (me and my Dad) from Rattlesnake Canyon on Thursday, 8 Oct 2010. The small nugget between the large one and the nickel was also found with the White's GMT. It is less than 1/10 grain, smallest I have ever found with a detector. The large one is 1 Gram .Of course the points and flakes to the left were from drywashing. All 11 nuggets were found within three feet of each other. |

The coins in the picture were found on the 9th of Oct. Greg H and I had gone out toward the Brooklyn Mine and
found a Depression Era mining camp. There were 5 Buffalo Nickels dated 1916s, 1917d, 1919s, 1928s and one
date unreadable. Two Dimes, a Barber dated 1903 and Mercury dated 1916. One Penny dated 1919. All were
found within 2 feet of each other. 46 cents was a pretty big lose for a miner from that time period.
