Want To See Something Wierd?

I was there when he found a couple of those, the pointy end was pointed to where the next one was found. Unfortunately when he dug the last one, he dislodged it from the original location and the  direction it was pointed. I don't think he will be able to find another one!

Actually it looks more like a grill for a T-Rex, they were always losing them when the asteroid hit that killed them off.

Reminds me of something I was shown, a picture, and told about from another prospector in Australia in an area we were looking around in.  He'd found a nugget that was shaped very much like a chisel, showed me that picture he had of it back at camp, and explained that the slates in the area we were in would capture the gold and due to heating/cooling the rock would expand and contract shaping the gold.  He had a term for it but I cant recall what it was.  I suspect something similar with your find.  Neat stuff ?
