GotAU? Posted December 17, 2024 Share Posted December 17, 2024 Wow, so I am guessing it was a specimen that had the quartz dissolved away? Sierra Nevada or Alaska? Hopefully wasn’t from a person feeling guilty about having it. 3 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/27250-where-do-you-think-this-nugget-is-from/#findComment-286528 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted December 17, 2024 Share Posted December 17, 2024 Nice nugget and I would bet it came from Steve H on one of his hunts. I might be wrong but with his skills you never know. My next guess would be from Gerry. 5 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/27250-where-do-you-think-this-nugget-is-from/#findComment-286529 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually there have been some very large nuggets found in southern Indiana, and in one of their creeks I have found a .52 ounce nugget myself.

Gold Seeker Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 It states in the article that the nugget is from Australia. "The nugget's unique form and place of origin, Australia, is expected to bring a much higher price at auction than the market value." 2 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/27250-where-do-you-think-this-nugget-is-from/#findComment-294475 Share on other sites More sharing options...
