It has been shared before and at the time but the years have passed since then.  I still have that nugget and some other pictures of that day elsewhere.

So sorry, I missed that one. I am so embarrassed to ask.

Walker, did you want to see a picture of it?  This was not a sunbaker.

To me a sunbaker is one that you can see before you disturb the ground, that is the nugget can see the sun. It is OK if the detector sees it before you do.😁I have lost count of how many but it is around 30 but most are small in the range 2 to 4 grams. 

The one on the left has moss and lichen as it was hiding from the sun most of the time. It made the oz+ the other one was an oz also 

The large one on top was just under 5¾ oz and was sitting right out in the open enjoying the sun. The smaller one was in the ground hiding near by about 6" deep.

Those aren’t sunbakers, they’re golden goose droppings! 😉

Wow, how unique and beautiful they are!
