All Treasure Hunting
Today I found my first Gold Nugget.
At least im 99 pecent sure its gold,
it is soft and heavy and shines like gold.
I still need to clean it up and will take it to be tested tomarrow.

Ima so excited.

It was found in some roots and dark soil and I Almost gave up it was kinda hard to find.
but persistance paid off.
Ill have it weighed tomarrow as well.
its pretty good size and heavy for a small NUGGY.




UPDATE>
Took it in today and had it tested and he had a test kit for 18k and it was positive as at least 18K then he studied it under scope and said no signs of it falling from jewelry and that he was 100 % sure it was 24k and a real Nugget
It weighed in at 2.1 Grams
Value 55.00 to 60.00 bucks just for the Gold.

I guess you know where ill be heading soon as I can and this time ill have the XLT on prospect
thanks for looking

UPDATE NUMBER 2

So Here is the scoop after returning to search again....
I searched the ereah where i found the nugget and all I found was some sort of a twisted wire like light and hard but not aluminum
im thinking titainium. it was found about 4 or 5 inches from the nigget.
after showing the nugget to some prospectors they dont think nugget because of its appearance.
One of the things I noticed while digging there was that abvout the second inch down was a half inch thick grey sandy grity soil
So im thinking my Nugget may be melted gold teeth and the grey is cremation ashes. it was dumped in a spot over looking the ocean
i could be wrong but thats what im thinking it may be.
I have found someones remains from a cremation.
It doesnt kreep me out or bother me to find it, its just ashes
HOWEVER id in fact it is ashes from someone

DO I KEEP THE GOLD NUGGET OPR RETURN IT ?


And DID THEY USED THAT HIGH GRADE OF GOLD FOR TEETH. or maby it was a wedding ring...hmmm
