Yesterday after about the 10t/h day of snow and rain and no power again I made the trek to town for groceries and on my return the sun peeked through the clouds and as I pulled into my parking spot something caught my eye sparkling like gold, well it was. Last year I had dropped a glass vial in the gravel and scattered the contents and even at my age having 20 20 vision I thought I had got it all picked up. So I went in and got the old gold bug and searched to see if there was any more which I should have done when I dropped it the first time. only the one showed up but I have a hump in the driveway where last year I spilled 0ne of the 6 gallon buckets of dirt and of course just kept driving over the top using it as a marker to hook up my trailer. Low and behold I got a hit on the bump so poured hot water on it and dug down about 5 inches and seemed to have got the main hit but still got more to dig. Through it on the stove and the two little pieces showed up in the screen this mourning. The bigger piece was the one I lost out of the vial and I'm heating water right now to melt this mourning's snow, now were prospecting. Tom

Well I only had to walk 50' and it only took about 15 minutes but the bad thing is I don't know where the new ones come from, somewhere in a 10 section area there about,  but the lost one was from one of our claims. I had about ten  buckets from a lot of area and don't know which one it was. Tom

That one piece of gold has a face silhouette on it. Just saying. Nice refinding it.

I see it now but that face and hair is in no doubt in my mind TRUMP, a sign from the mining gods but I don't know who the other face at the bottom of the nugget is, maybe just two profiles. Tom
