Fun finding the mother-load Nome 2009


We found only fine gold on the beach and we worked hard for that gold.  We had a little fun and took a break from the digging and shoveling.  We, (Or I), wanted the people back home to think we were striking it rich.  So as you can see, I found the mother-load.  The average person doesn’t realize what fine gold is, or pickers, or nuggets.  They think in terms of bricks of gold and think finding gold is a fist full of nuggets.  Oh how we all wish for that, but the fact is you work your butt off having the time of your life finding specks, or color or a show of gold.  And the big excitement is with the pickers and nuggets.  And yes we did come home with a few nuggets but, as I’m told, a miner never tells.  We had the time of our life and thought everyone should have this experience.  We vowed to come back.
