Almost 4 Pound Gold Specimen With Near 11 Ozt Of Gold

[Gerry in Idaho]

One of my customers recently found a stunning: near 4 pound quartz boulder with just under 11 ozt of gold with his GPX-5000.

Just goes to show you those multi thousand dollar treasures are still out there being dug up.

Yes this came from the lower 48 states.

Good luck everyone.

Did s/he say how deep and how loud/strong the signal was?  Impressive, and thanks to both of your for inspiring us.

They didn't provide details.  It was actually found a few weeks ago but they were scared to show it off.  Some folks clam up when something big is found and at times I don't blame them.

That specimen shows a lot of gold and is a keeper. I found a 3.2Kg (7lb) specimen a few years ago that had over 16+ oz of gold when crushed, but note it did not show as much gold as Gerry's Customer. So now I don't feel too bad belting sh!t out of it for the gold. 🤑 By the way the signal was very broad, and 18" deep with a ML3000 and 14"Elliptical coil.
