The find of a lifetime for me and on my birthday to boot. Me and Ron Swenson Ron(CA) were out detecting an old site where I have found quite a few small nuggets a couple years ago and this was a huge surprise as I never expected gold to come in as a high conductor. This sounded and ID'd just like a silver coin would. I am lucky that I live in such a great place to detect, here in California's gold country. Every once in a while one of us comes across a big nugget like this while out detecting. The 49'rs didn't have detectors and where they didn't dig, there is still the possibility of coming across one of these :thumbsup:

This live dig was caught on video . . . .

I know we say "Dude" alot but, Dude, we're from California!!

Thanks for looking!! Best birthday ever :-D

EDIT: 07-07-2014 - Several have asked me if this nugget is for sale, I am looking at all offers. Thanks!!

Simply incredible find man - so excited to finally hear all about it today. And I thought Ron's 1 oz+er was good! Haha... Man that video is so fun to watch (love the sound of that thing on the Lesche!).

You guys deserve everything you get out there, and you definitely deserve that one Mark. This could be the biggest, but I don't think it'll be the last nugget you pull out. Major congratulations, and a well deserved banner.

What are you gonna call it? The T-Bone? :D

Alright, gonna go watch the video again :)

After this find, we need to refrain from posting our 10 and 14K rings on here, lol.
 

This one got voted up quick. Looks great up there but better at home I bet! :thumbsup:
 

Guys, your video was so well done, enjoyed the professionalism immensely! But the excitement of that huge nugget popping out of the ground was such an awesome sight. It was stunning! Bet there was no sleep for a few days. Congrats! So hapoy for you:-)
 

That is freaking Phenomenal. Being in Gold Country as well, I sure hope my day is coming.

Sweet mother of Gold!!!!! That Is one of the most incredible finds I have ever seen. Congratulations to you and so glad that you got such an amazing birthday present. Mother Earth always seems to give the best gifts! I sent the link to your video to every amateur gold prospector I know, to keep them motivated :) Looks stellar up on the banner...well deserved!!
 

Awesome find!!! I love your reaction!!!
 

My 22k gold ring comes up as 76 vdi on my T2. Right in the zinc penny range. Way to go on a find of a lifetime!

Even if I did, can you ever really trust what a gold miner tells you about a location? Lol, some of the stories I hear living here in gold country.
