Being a successful gold miner often means being able to keep things in perspective. This photo is a good example: is this a plate full of huge gold nuggets, or is it just a close up picture of some fine gold? There's nothing in the frame to give it perspective - and to give us the answer. Mining's a lot like that - is the motherlode just under that next rock or is it under the one after that? Getting perspective in mining means doing your homework to come up with a good plan - often by testing and sampling by digging test holes or sometimes drilling through the overburdon to see what's underneath, or maybe even following a proven pay streak. Those who lose their perspective and only follow their hunches and gut feelings often end up chasing ghosts and eventually just run out of time, money and motivation. So, keep your perspective, do your homework, and use your resources wisely - and maybe you'll have something like this under your Christmas tree next year. Oh, and about these nuggets - we'll probably never know if the largest is 8 grams or 8 ounces - because there's just nothing here to give it perspective...Drag your shovels over to www.hollowaybar.com to get our perspective on gold mining...
