Chunky Auburn Nugget(S)!

Edited to add the "S" in the title(see more pics post #13 below)

Found my first piece of gold today that I can be proud to call a nugget!
Obviously, means the biggest piece Ive ever found....

It came from my friends' backyard creek...
It tipped the scales at a whopping 2.3grams!!




That is 100% for sure mercury on it, we found alot of gold today that was half colored with bright shiny mercury and it clumps the gold all together, however this is one piece that has a light covering on half of it.

Going back tomoro to follow the ledge across the creek, using shovels and my home-made "RPG" gold trap.(you get that play on the "bazooka"... RocketPropelledGrenade)

One caution - gold tends to make people a little screwy, I assume you have a rock solid relationship with your friend.

Yeah thats not even an issue, but I totally know what you mean...

Thanks everybody, as you can tell Im excited!!

You should be! I spent 2 hours sniping and panning and got 2 small colors today in the river. Sun finally came out, swam over with my pan to fresh rocks to crack and crevice...water was low..awesome day. Was really hoping to find a molar tho
