At some time we finally find our first nugget. What did you learn from it? Good or bad!
I will go first:
My first nugget I found was not with a metal detector but a gold pan. I found a small boil hole waaay up from the current creek that held gold in the past. It was about 1.5gms in weight and was shaped like a ducks head. What I learnt was to check the cracks and crevices above the Flood line. I found over an ounce of alluvial gold from this first nugget in nearby cracks and crevices. It taught me to look outside the box and look in places around areas that gold was found. A rule I live by today.
