Barely a weekend warrior. Hard rock + placer together = a more complete sampling picture for AU.

Got a huge picker this weekend on a friend's claim somewhere near Lilloet, BC, Canada.

At 0.42 grams it's not quite a nugget, but close.

It's my biggest piece ever, so you can imagine the reaction when I saw it in the pan!

I still remember the first time I got my first picker, it drove me nuts despite it being worth so little. Treasure it forever, the experience is worth more than the gold itself.

@Firebird - the weight and value are insignificant to me. The experience of getting a big piece is the best feeling in the world - wouldn't trade that for anything!
