I could not find one in North Carolina, so a flew home to my Dream claim where I knew I could find gold nuggets. Five days in, and we discover the second largest nugget I have ever found.

      Yeah, I worried about that too. I’ve seen a few machines topple over the years. Luckily no one was hurt, but it happens so fast. Definitely have to think things through before hand when working through obstacles, because once you jump into action there is no time to turn around…

    Hi Dan! Next time use the smaller bucket for the excavator. You’ll have much better luck ripping through rock. Also, use the stick boom, also known as dipper boom to pull your bucket back towards you always keeping bucket as flat as possible. Think 90 degrees to 45 degrees. Enjoy you much!
