OMG sure appears to be the real deal. Simply take a magnet to it and see if it sticks as gold doesn't. Take a knife and gently press into the goldest spot you can find on that righteous hunka chunka righteous golden boulder to see if it dents(mica cracks,crumbles or goes crunch). DO NOT CRUSH MASH OR BASH as a specimen worth MUCH more. Check your pics asap to make sure NO GPS bs imbedded within as then location will be known by all-if so delete asap. This and many other forums have proven dozens of times that your ungodly great hidey hole will be invaded,robbed,raped and pilaged.KEEP QUIET . I'll post numerous ways to ascertain the appx. gold in that righteous specimen-CONGRATULATIONS :occasion14::laughing7: jOHN

Thanks for the advice John. I am not really worried about my location being discovered because this was found on my land consisting of 40 fenced acres.:)

Your famous line hah sorry you are so negative

My famous line? I don't enjoy telling people it and I stand by my previous observation.

Just like I've never seen gold in any of the million samples you've posted. You're blinded by sulphides.

When I see gold I say it.

Tsage24. Do you have an electrician's Multi-meter or an Ohm meter[ $2 or$3 @Harbor Freight]? You can test the continuity of metal. Put the electrodes on a piece of Au that is connected . The ohms will peg to 0 resistance if it is metal. G/L
