Nice 2 Ounce GPZ Nugget I Found


Recommended Posts

As the title suggests thought I'd share a picture of a nice 2 ounce find I made recently here in WA with my GPZ. Ground was quite salty so was using the unit in Manual GB mode using the Ferrite to ground balance often, got about an ounce of tiny prickly stuff right on the surface about 50 meters away, can only assume this guy came off the original source many hundreds of meters up and a long time of weathering ago.

Wow, is that a chunk of gold in black rock? I can't wait to see it cleaned up and in a sharp closeup.

I hope to get back out again soon. Life got in the way for a bit but I am finally getting freed up again.

Very interesting piece, good going JP!

A wonderful find Jonathan, congratulations. It is an interesting rock with what appears to be a black surface encrustation... in any case uniquely attractive in my estimate. Over this way that black encrustmentt could very well represent any country rock material stained with fully oxidized manganese... a result of extensive weathering. 

 

Jim.
