GPZ 7000 Gold Finds

[TAZMAN1972]

Well, I used the whink on my large nugget.  The 1st pic is after about 48 hours.  (the pics may be backwards) I did this in steps.  I started with an hour, then 8 hours, then 24 hours etc.  I took it out and gently toothbrushed it each time.  I did find that once I started I really had to keep going because the in-between natural and clean (1st pic) just wasn't doin it for me.  I am really happy with the final result which took about 72 hours.  I really had no idea how rough it was going to be and how many small pieces of quartz their was under the covering of DARK red.  This nugget is really neat to look at under the magnifying glass!  Not sure if you can zoom in on it on the forum though.

Thanks for the help with the Whink, I really like the stuff!

Very cool, Tazman.  Thanks for remembering to share the after pics (most don't).
