Thanks for sharing your story and photos. Here’s a Chevrolet bowtie mounted on the radiator on my 1928 Chevrolet.

These two websites have a variety of different types of gold nuggets, specimens and paydirt. You can get a idea of what different types of gold nuggets and specimens are going for: https://goldnuggetsforsale.com/ https://goldnuggetsales.com/

Nice way to end the year! Congrats on another outstanding find. 👍

Wife's wedding ring: My wedding ring: Jeweler placed one of my leaf gold specimens I found in a old ring setting I had:

Gerry you are one of the very few dealers left that have the knowledge and offer training anyone that wants learn gold prospecting. Hopefully you are still young enough to provide this service and education for many years to come. I know when I started detecting for gold nuggets and know there was something at the time of what you had to offer, I would gladly invested the time and money to make the learning curve less frustrating and being more productive out in the field. This is the second time in the past 30+ years in hunting the same area for gold specimens that I and my wife did not go. My wife had a hip replacement two years ago and turning 70 she has decided the almost vertical tailing piles are not the place for her to be. We have been detecting ghost towns this past summer and enjoying finding coins and relics that they have to offer. We will have to see how 2024 shakes out for gold prospecting. Here's another wiregold specimen that I recently cleaned with some host rock left intact:

This is so true in the area I and my wife prospect for gold specimens on tailing piles here in Colorado. We have tried many different types of PI detectors in the past on none will detect the gold specimens we find with a VLF detector. We were hoping the Garrett Axiom would be able to detect this type of gold and this last spring met with Rusty Curry with Garrett to see if the Axiom offered some promise. Unfortunately the Axiom wasn't able to detect the gold specimens, even using the different types of coils they had to offer. We are hoping someday a PI detector will be produced by somebody that can detect these type of gold specimens, as there are certain areas where we are plagued with hot rocks and minerialzation and a VLF detector is basically useless. Here is a .67 Gram wiregold specimen that a PI detector will not detect:
