Jonathan Porter Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 As the title suggests thought I'd share a picture of a nice 2 ounce find I made recently here in WA with my GPZ. Ground was quite salty so was using the unit in Manual GB mode using the Ferrite to ground balance often, got about an ounce of tiny prickly stuff right on the surface about 50 meters away, can only assume this guy came off the original source many hundreds of meters up and a long time of weathering ago.

Steve Herschbach Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Wow, is that a chunk of gold in black rock? I can't wait to see it cleaned up and in a sharp closeup. I hope to get back out again soon. Life got in the way for a bit but I am finally getting freed up again. Very interesting piece, good going JP!

Jim Hemmingway Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 A wonderful find Jonathan, congratulations. It is an interesting rock with what appears to be a black surface encrustation... in any case uniquely attractive in my estimate. Over this way that black encrustmentt could very well represent any country rock material stained with fully oxidized manganese... a result of extensive weathering. Jim.

Tortuga Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I love the look of that nugget! Do you ever sell any of your gold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Porter Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 It was solid gold with a thin coating of iron in places. Its already gone to its new home. JP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klunker Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Nice find Sir. The title of the post begs for the question to be ask "Have you found a 2 ounce nugget that isn't nice?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
