Was out relic hunting with my buddy Mark (49r Relics) and got a nice 39/40 on the CTX. From past experienced I knew it has a chance of being a gold nugget!! Got is all on video!!

What an amazing feeling popping out a huge chunk of gold like this. I know many of you are not gold hunters (at least not in nugget form) but gold this size is the Holy Grail of nugget hunting!! Amazing to see this surface for the first time and be the first person to ever touch it!! The Nugget Gods have been nice to Mark and me!!

Congrats! Lots of big nuggets. I am wondering though, all of your hunts are at night. Why? Are you somewhere you can't be in the daylight?

Thanks for the comments.

Not all of our hunts are at night. Several of the recent ones have been -- for good reason. Answered that earlier in the thread.

Sounds like the second gold rush. You guys are finding big nuggets in the soft dirt instead of bedrock with no impurities. At night. You need to patent that claim. Wow amazing !
