normmcq Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I am re posting this nugget because the quality of the picture in the original post just didn't show the beauty of it. Thanks to Steve H for the pictures. The gross weight is 4.68 oz. (145.1 grams) net weight is 3.68 oz (114.46 grams) 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Herschbach Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Thanks Norm for the chance to handle the gold and take the photos. That sure had a nice hefty feel in my hand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortuga Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Wow that thing is nice. I like imagining that each little speck of gold on those specimen nuggets might have eventually found its way to someone's pan or drywasher. We're so lucky as detectorists that sometimes we really hit the motherlode with these nuggets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calmark Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 To me, that's a great blend of quartz and gold. I tend to like the look of the specimens that have gold all shot through them and show a little evidence of weathering with the gold smoothed and polished on the outside. That one is a real lunker too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
