Very pretty gold; I guess you washed the gold with vinegar or dilute HCl? If not, what did you use? Shure is shiny and purty.... :)

Thanks for sharing.

Goldpannerdave,

Most of them just got a vinegar/salt bath. Give it a shake every hour or so and let soak for a day or two. Does a great job cleaning off light stains and caliche without needing to use chemicals. Works perfect for most nuggets except the really crusty ones.
