    The colours of the nuggets under magnification were a little strange in this video. Probably from the built in light in the microscope plus maybe some reflection of other things nearby.

      What with the nickel price explosion, might you be after finding more? Or is it still best with silver and gold? Anyway good to see you having such good finds sir!

      Nickel shot up to $50,000 a ton? and crashed the metal exchange. I'm waiting for the other shoe to fall.
      I think nickel transfers RF ,a force related too electricity. The power company sends RF for miles and miles. They change it it electricity at your pole with a transformer.. Come on nickel. Daddy needs a new pair of shoes

    Baby steps getting back out. The Ground has started thawing here and I threw my back out working in the garden. Can't wait to see you open the package I sent. Not very large pieces there at the mine but I tried to send a variety of colors. Deej

    Hiya Greg, dude......dddduuuuddddeeee! That's some awesome nuggies! Awesome video, well once you've been injured the way you were,the pain it creeps up on you, I know how you feel my friend. I liked the way the nuggets had different colours on them, the difference is easily noticed, and they are still beautiful stones, but the silver is always silver, and I think it's really cool looking. I have more silver jewelry than I do gold, not because of the price, but because of the colour of the silver I guess, I just love silver. Lol I wear a heavy silver chain all the time, pure silver is my game. Lol
    I hope your feeling better and I hope it's warming up for you, up there. It's hot and cold way down South, and I hope you have a awesome blessed day.
    Cya! 😺🐟 out!

      I had taken Daisy and she was limping something awful by day 3 and preferred to sit in the truck with the door open while I was detecting. I dug holes until the pleasure of finding silver wasn't compensating for the awful pain I was in. Hopefully, things will be better this summer.

      I've stitched my self up with super glue and I left places for it to drain. I didn't have time to go get stitched up by the doctor, so I did it myself, but being a EMT I knew what to do.
      During the healing process it leaks and I can't believe they didn't fix it so it could drain. And that poor darling has to be in pain because of it.
