Primary Interest:
Prospecting
no I did not find them, but I did have the most pleasant time of getting to meet the man who did.
All Alaskan, all from a wash plant, some were as deep as 26 feet down.

I was too shocked and in awe to even ask how much they weighed, but they were not for sale anyway.

Amazing that these can still be found by some. Amazing that most of them are privately owned too and only get shown around to a few.

talk about a treasure. the biggest one was at least 2 pounds.
