Re: Found GOLD in the BRADSHAWS
Wouldn't 4 lbs of gold be like $69,376? (@$1081.00/oz.)

That is wicked cool!!!!!!!!
have you weighed it in water yet to get the actual gold weight?
If the Rock is 20lbs there could be 1-4 LBS of that stuff we hunt.
12,000.00 per lb woooooooooooooooooooooooow!!!!
VERY VERY EXCELLENT FIND!

Re: Found GOLD in the BRADSHAWS
you could make a million and never sell it!first call the manafacturer of the detector you were using................thats the best advertising they could ask for(pay-for) ........endorsements........appearances(paid-for).......people would pay-just to see it!!!!........not to mention free detectors......t.v. appearances.....you could probably get your own detector series on the outdoor channel,science channel,discovery or tlc..........any detector on the market would pay dearly for you to say you use there detector!!!!!
think about it

Re: Found GOLD in the BRADSHAWS
Spectacular find I agree what outhers have said, if that's Gold in the rock, then it would be worth more as a specimen, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you

Re: Found GOLD in the BRADSHAWS
This should answer a few questions about Pyrites there's a link also , below is whats quoted in the link . Good luck great find
It can be tricky to the beginner! Below I have added some pictures that show the differences in common pyrites found in Arizona and Arizona gold. I detected all the gold you see in the pictures below with using either a White's GMT or a Minelab GP Extreme. Click the pictures to enlarge them. Some of the pieces of gold pictured below I have never shown before making this web page. All the gold below is specimen gold they are not nuggets. The reason I used specimen gold is all of the pictures I am sent always have "host rock" in them. You cannot "flake" gold off a rock with a knife, if you hit gold in rock the rock will break/shatter but the gold will flatten/bend. Pyrite if struck with a hammer will shatter/crumble.

Re: Found GOLD in the BRADSHAWS
That rock has tumbled down the river quite a ways. See how rounded it is? It's been rolling for a while so finding the source of this Gold could take a long time. I'd say it's worth the hunt though
