Big, beautiful North American Placer!! Freakin' fantastic!!!

Unbelievable video of big North American gold nuggets + new finds, pics, videos added: a live thread, so please post your gold shots.
I'll add other videos or stills of big nuggety North American gold as I find them.

This video starts slow, but it's shot underground, so give it a while and then watch out that you don't have a freakin' heart attack!!

I hope you love looking at this as much as I did--every placer miner's dream come true. If you're a rookie, you'll get the fever bad watching this one. (To avoid any confusion, this is not my video, nor is it my clean-up, nor was I involved in any way--I found it by mistake after typing in a search word incorrectly [that's why I'd never found it before], but I sure do love it!!)



Almost 3,800 ounces in the last shot--fines are in the large plastic bags. 100 miles north of the Arctic Circle!

All the best,

Lanny

P.S. I posted it with my beginner's thread as well, but it's so great it deserves it's own place too.

Glad to hear you'll get a chance to finally reconnect with your golden past Herb. I know you've waited a long time.

All the best,

Lanny

It's nice to see some of that high-grade, fine Colorado gold, gathered by a true expert that is now also a published gold-prospecting author on gathering Colorado gold!

Thanks Kevin, and all the best,

Lanny

Nice character gold Terry!

I hope the outing was fun to boot, as I'm sure it was.

All the best,

My goodness but you're slaying the big ones!

Wow!! Six ounces in one chunk (nice contrast against the dollar coin for size). It's been a long time since I held one that big , and it was found by some miners I was working with, but they were using big equipment, and it was a genuine rarity. I can't imagine finding one that big with the detector, but you've had other finds that eclipse your six-ouncer, so, whatever you're doing, and whatever you're doing it with (The "Z", etc.), keep at it!!

All the best,

Lanny

For anyone new to the site, if you've never see this video before, it's what should get gold fever brewing in anyone with a prospector's heart!

All the best, and for those of you that have seen this before, you know what I'm talking about!

Don't know what happened Sasquatch, but hope this one works.
 

This is a great thread! I don’t often post my finds but I may start doing so here.

This is from a recent unicorn morning of drywashing, where I got just over a gram, instead of the usual .3g-.4g

That sure is beautiful gold!

Nicely done, and all the best,
