My Pop (Repairman65) sent me these photos of the Virginia Gold we recovered a few years ago while prospecting. Thought I would share them with you. We hope to get back into the prospecting thing once I return to the States for good later this Summer. This is approximately 2 OZ of raw VA Gold.

If Tom & Perry Massey sees all of that Va. gold they might want to do a Gold Fever or Gold Prospecting Show
on you and your father.
A lot of people dreams about finding gold like that.

Wow Joe, Put together like this sure is impressive. Makes me want to get the dredge out and be ready for when you get back here and add to our collection. I'll think about the Expo and let you know.

That is awesome panning! Alot of people don't realize that everyone was panning in the south before the gold rush 49ers ran to California! The south is full of gold! You just gotta find it! Weather it is a nugget or a ring it is all good! That is a great display for ya! My name is Jim if you need to will it to someone! :tongue3:
