Big, beautiful North American Placer!! Freakin' fantastic!!!

Unbelievable video of big North American gold nuggets + new finds, pics, videos added: a live thread, so please post your gold shots.
I'll add other videos or stills of big nuggety North American gold as I find them.

This video starts slow, but it's shot underground, so give it a while and then watch out that you don't have a freakin' heart attack!!

I hope you love looking at this as much as I did--every placer miner's dream come true. If you're a rookie, you'll get the fever bad watching this one. (To avoid any confusion, this is not my video, nor is it my clean-up, nor was I involved in any way--I found it by mistake after typing in a search word incorrectly [that's why I'd never found it before], but I sure do love it!!)



Almost 3,800 ounces in the last shot--fines are in the large plastic bags. 100 miles north of the Arctic Circle!

All the best,

Lanny

P.S. I posted it with my beginner's thread as well, but it's so great it deserves it's own place too.

Id probably suffer cardiac arrest if I dug up something like that! :-)

Are those twice baked!?!!! Goooood Lord!

Holy moley!

Aptly phrased--I like your comment.

All the best,

I remember reading that article! Showed it to Robi and her eyes got real big, she started shaking and said "THAT'S what WE'RE going to find soon!" Nothing like the power of positive thinking! ...at least I hope that's what that reaction was!!!!!

Your comment shows some genuine humor--I got a good chuckle out of it.

All the best, and I hope you find something big enough to stub your toe on it,

I got the best heavy equipment operator, this side of the Mississippi!
Tell us when you want us to show up for work!

Thanks for sharing all that Lanny! Good luck to ya'll and HH!

They used their equipment to strip the site before they detected it. I think that whole method started in Australia? Regardless, they sure found some beautiful gold. The gold in the jar has nuggets that weigh in the ounce+ range as well.

All the best,

Lanny

Hummm I just wonder how long you'd have to boil them spuds before they'd be ready.......

Throw in a few rocks for meat and pretty soon you'd have a delicious, golden stew!

All the best,

Lanny

It's all been found...yeah, sure it has Thanks Lanny!

You're most welcome, and thanks for dropping in to have a look at some of the eye candy.

All the best,

Lanny

Nice work fellas

They did do an incredible job, most likely they were once-in-a-lifetime finds as they broke the record, but for their sakes, I hope not.

All the best,

Lanny

You and me both, but I'd go through it twice!

All the best,

Lanny, I just had to drag this up to the front. Since I joined after the original date you posted, I missed it AND I didn't notice this was an on going thread. You amaze me with the cream of the crop gold finds you show to us. This one is especially meaningful to me because it just goes to show you how good a REAL gold prospecting show could be. I was on the edge of my seat every second!

 

[Lanny in AB]

Thanks Jeff.

All the best,

Lanny

 

[Lanny in AB]

If anyone has pictures of big North American placer they'd like to post to this thread, PM me in this new year, or post them yourself with a description please.

The reason I started this thread is that Australian gold seems to get all of the press. I'd like to showcase some of our local gold and give it a chance to shine.

All the best,

Lanny

I had to pause the video Lanny so I could find my drool rag.
Didn't want to ruin my keyboard. Great video...thanks.......

There's a couple pix of a gold laced 8lb chunk of quartz found my 1st year of prospecting. Found in north central Washington State

 

[Oldyoungtimer]

Awesome pic of that gold laced quartz! Very nice and lucky find your first year. You must of been close to the mother lode with that chunk.
