WTG, Jennifer! You are off to a great start.  

Did Doc show you some Gold basin meteorites so you won't throw them away thinking they are Hotrocks?

You will love the GPZ when you get it!

Thanks Fred.... I brought home a big one today that could be a meteorite, I'll have to ask around.

Great Find, I and my wife are planning to be out to Gold Basin this October to nugget hunt, hope to have the success you've had.

Congrats!

Jenifer, just take a whetstone and grind off a small window. If it is a gold basin the nickel/iron will be obvious...there are some vicious hotrocks that can fool a person...such as myself...
