I haven't been around in a while. My apologies. I found this a couple months ago drywashing in southern california. I made my way back here and realized...oh! I forgot I had something exciting to share. This is my 1.4 gram "Teddybear" nugget from Holcomb Valley. Found with my home made drywasher. I also found some fines on this trip, but this has been the highlight of my summer =) Pic 3 shows where I came up with teddybear lol.

Mr Lee this looks like the backside of the Gold Mtn claim, overlooking the valley.
