I'll maybe try to find a picture of that Calif. sierra nugget find that turned out to be a bit of a hoax or something like that of a few years ago. never know but I'm a bit leary about people who show what they found without any identifing information. That is one big butt piece of gold tho'.

It is part of what keeps us going. I find it so interesting that the prospector received one price and the second owner received so much more. That sounds like a familiar Recent conversation.

California Gold is not just gold, it IS California Gold. Interesting!.................63bkpkr

Found this Miraculous Medal at some very remote old diggings in Northern Nevada a couple weeks ago.

It was about 6" down in packed soil and it's gold. Not sure what it's worth but thought it was another old bullet lol.
