#143 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I have been pretty consistent finding a few meteorites hunting the gold basin placers lately, nice finding something in between finding a nugget. I’m averaging at least a tiny piece of gold maybe about 75% of the time most of these have been shallow 3” down or less and ring strong out on the 6000 like a large caliber bullet on the surface, they are a great motivator to dig all the trash sounding targets because they sound just the same. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#143 Posted November 29, 2021 Author Share Posted November 29, 2021 I was wondering a little if some of the ones I’ve found out there could be different, I at sone point will send in a few slices for classification and see what results I get?

John B. Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Hi Clark and All There are a number of different stones found in the gold basin and king tut areas. The gold basin L4 APX 15000 years surface age the White elephant is an L4 with a terrestrial age of +or- 200 years . The King tut is an oriented L5 with a very young terrestrial age . The Hualapai wash 24 is an H 5 small oriented puzzle stone of 4 pieces. There are a couple more found by Jim Kreigh and one by Twink. I Think ??
