Beautiful gold--that's a great catch you've got there. Good luck on your sale.

All the best,

How long did it take you to amass that? What method? What area? Just curious of course. Love to hear success stories.

About a month or so. It took a variation of methods. Sniping mostly but also sluicing wherever I saw overburden. I'm in Placer county CA. I'm selling it to improve some of my equipment. Trying to fix up my gravity dredging setup. My sluice is kind of falling apart so I have to build a new one.

Nice gold for sure, looks like lots of hard work. When you say a month I am betting almost daily for a month for that much butter. Keep at it your doing great!! I have a keene full size I dont use any more let me know if your interested, will trade for au.

Very nice!

Some of those pieces would sell for a nice price on eBay.

When a person looks at those three pics, seems impossible to mistake pyrite, mica, etc. for gold. May you get twice as much next time!

On eBay?! Really?? I kind of want to try doing that. Have you sold yours on eBay before?

 

[Aurabbit79er]

There are E Bay stores you can just walk in and sell stuff. Simple

 

[Prospecting P.]

good job, love seeing that color

 

[LinkHylian]

Nice and chunky, very sweet. I hope you get top dollar for it so you can fix up your equipment!!

Yes! I highly recommend it. You will make so much more.

I'd sell all the pickers individually and the fines in groups. Or sell it however you like.

I usually sell my stuff to a buyer I have he gives 79% for fines and extra % for pickers, nuggets. Do you put a reserve on your stuff or just let it go? What % of normal price do you think you could get on there? Thanks!

I don't set reserves but you can. Gold sells real well on there. I've had nice pickers sell for 20% above spot. You get two people who want it and the price can skyrocket!

Don't forget to put the state where it came from in your description. The buyers like that. And for the title I'd put gold nugget even if its only a picker. I wouldnt bother with long 10/7 day auctions either. Most of your bids will be at the end anyway. One of your pictures should be of the gold on the scale.

N8Longly, search midwestrefinery. They will give you like 95 or 96 spot fines nuggets and all. Ive done it twice. You will have a check within 2 week and thats from you sending it to them and getting your money. Screw 79 percent or the Buy Gold places. Do it and get what you deserve. Just my 2 cents from a prospector from missouri who had to work his ASS of all summer for a quarter ounce!! Pat

you can get 150% on ebay....never take less than 88 to 85%
