I Beat Mother Nature at Her Own Game!

Every year, spring runoff completely rearranges Nugget Bar on my “Dream Claim.” Rocks move, gravel shifts, and gold that was previously buried or impossible to detect can suddenly be sitting within reach of a metal detector. It's basically an annual game of hide-and-seek with Mother Nature. This year I headed back in with my new Gold Monster 2000 and a plan for finding the nuggets she had uncovered. There was just one problem… my plan didn't work. One beautiful gold nugget hiding beneath the rocks. Mother Nature may have hidden it, but this year I WON the game of hide-and-seek!
