An old family nugget from the Morning Glory. Here's the story -

THE MORNING GLORY LODE MINE.
First prospected in the 1870’s. Located approximately 1/2 mile on
Kanaka creek, above the Original Sixteen-To-One gold mine in the historic mining Community of Alleghany California. The first and only owners were Martin Rohrig and his three sons. This lode claim produced some of the most spectacular crystalline gold in white quartz matrix ever mined. From 1943 for a period of some eight years a single chunk of this extraordinary vein weighing over seven pounds eleven oz. was entered in The California State Fair, winning FIRST place each and every year. It was then retired. Because of the particular geographical location, this gold has a unique tone that is recognized by those who worked the great mines. My Mom Joan Hardy is holding the 7lb nugget for the pic

What better way to express one's gold than to show where you found it! Here's a nice penny weight nugget waiting to be claimed by this prospector.

Another photo shot worth seeing. Swallowed some water through my snorkel when I came across this find!

Sometimes a nugget isn't worth as much as a batch of fines. Here's a great example of that.

But hey, when you come across a nugget that's worthy of a photo,,,, I'll take it any day of the week!

When it's all said and done; any gold, no matter the size, can make a typical pan look quite impressive. **Value the smallest piece as if it was your largest,,, and the gold will follow.
