So, who all watched this movie last night after seeing this post?

I did, it was a bit unbelievable, but fun to watch.

Great find, that's a stunning nugget!!

Those were the days at Moore Creek. Krys was a great guy and was fun getting to know him, the last I heard he had moved back to Poland. Thanks for the memories. Also remember the time you drew names for a 2 oz. nuggett that you had found. Very generous of you Steve.

Rob, That's a nice chuck, thanks for posting.

One of life's most satisfying pleasures is digging a nugget out of bedrock...  Great job Rob, hope to see more..

Steve,  Have a great time and the best of luck to you...

Love the lead up story and final results, great job..

Great nuggets, hope there are plenty more in the near future..

Found gold nuggets in Alaska, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, Australia..  Loved every minute of it...

Well done, loved the videos...

Enjoyed your videos and seeing some really nice nuggets coming out of the ground. Great job...

Great story and wonderful video.

Nice Nugget Rob......

My all time favorite pick is made in Australia, the company is "CCpicks". The owners name is Craig and he is very easy to deal with..  May cost a few bucks to get it here but was well worth it.

karelian,

As a side note:  I love your pick.... I've been using a CC Pick for many years, one of the best picks I've ever had.

That looks very cool, I would love to have one........

Great nuggets,  congratulations..

Ganes Creek and Moore Creek were my most favorite places to go nugget hunting in Alaska. I met Steve in Vegas once and then again on my first trip to Ganes  while visiting his store with the Whites rep Steve Houston. Found many, many ounces of gold detecting at both places. Hospitality and comforts for the clients was their first priorities, next came the Gold....As Steve says the "golden age" of detecting is over at those places which is really sad. I have been trying to make a trip up to Alaska every year and in 2018 a friend and I went to AKAU in Nome, found closer to 10 ounces and had a great time. We will try again this year. Thanks Steve for the memories..

This is a picture of the back side of my favorite nugget from Moore Creek. Not as pretty or as big as yours George which is really beautiful....  Steve, can't wait to see your pictures of MC nuggets...

Great nugget, every time time that I see that it reminds me of my favorite Moore Creek nugget. I found it on the trail leading over to Jesse's hill. Sorry that the picture isn't better.

Woke up to only a coating of about an inch, still to much snow to get into the mountains. We never had a winter until the last 2-3 weeks.... it's going to be a long spring.

Nice job Steve, good to see that you're still finding the gold (nice nuggets)........ Let us know how the next trip goes.

Almost two years ago my son-in-law and I were detecting at a local park. The top foot or so of the soil had been remove in preparation for some new playground equipment. I had known about the excavation occurring for some time and we were the first detectorists there and maybe the only ones to check it out. We were both using Tesoros at the time and were finding a few "v" nickles, some silver and wheat pennies. The area wasn't large and I had decided just to dig everything. I got an "iffy" signal and proceeded to dig out a chunk of dirt. The moment I saw the edge and knew it was something gold I called my son-in-law over and showed it to him before cleaning the dirt off. The first thing I saw was the Indian head face and knew it was a gold coin. Then I saw the hole drilled at the top and figured it was used on a necklace for someone. Wondering what the date was I flipped it over and saw that the person had made a love token out of it . Even though I don't know the date I can still say that I found my first gold coin....

Great coins, great finds. Good job.

I love the idea, been seriouly thinking about one myself. Anyone have any suggestions as which one to buy, there seems to be so many out there to choose from.

Thanks
