Actually, since it's such a rare specimen, the estimated value is $30,000! Yeah, I could handle that kinda pay!  |

Marc I think you must have misunderstood Steve. Steve found that monster nugget at Ganes Creek Alaska last year(detect for fee location). It was detected with a Gold Bug right on the surface .near the camp. I think he said that others because of it's size thought it was just trash. He almost had trouble getting it out of Alaska. More photos Click on the photos for closeups. http://www.juddcom.com/photos/Ganes%20Creek%206-20-04/index.htmlWe all dream of finding a monster nugget like this. If I ever have the time one day I will detect at Ganes Creek. George |

Complete story was posted in GPAA magazine several issues ago. Seems that Steve had open heart surgery months before his trip to Alaska. In the story he called it his heart nugget. Great find and awesome nugget.
