But alas, not mine. Since moving to CA, I have been gravitating towards prospecting. These pieces put me over the point of no return. They belong to a neighbor. Most came from Canada, including the largest nugget. WOW! TTC

I'm a complete novice when it comes to prospecting and gold. We just don't have much of it here in Ohio (just small placer gold/flakes).

Is that the way raw nuggets look when they come out of the ground or have those been melted and reformed? They look like molten globs. I would have expected natural nuggets to have rougher edges and look just a little more like rocks.
 

Holly Crap Man !! :o :o

Nice gold, no thats what gold really looks like. :headbang:

Keep @ it and HH !!

Thanks. Very cool. I've never really seen a gold nugget. And unless I get out of Ohio (or buy one) I probably never will. :icon_pirat:

Any idea how much that big one weighs? That gold sure is purty!
 

I just about wet myself when I looked at that pile of yellow metal :notworthy:
 

if i dug up a piece of gold that big i would tell the world. right after i changed my drawers :laughing9:

I'll check with my neighbor on the weight of the big one. He is in Alaska right now. Oh, his equipment is way past pans... try front end loaders and dozers. My guess is between 3 and 4 ounces. TTC
