IMG_20140517_192025_899.jpg Hey I thought I'd post some of my dads finds. This is about 3 years worth of detecting. He and 2 of his buddies have spent almost every Sunday at the creek. Pretty good size nuggets the biggest of them is the one I'm holding in my hand just under 7oz . This is just his share everything is split between the three of them oz. for oz. They just haven't been able to split the big one so its pretty much joint custody. IMG_20140517_191650_802.jpg IMG_20140517_191847_310.jpg

These guys put in a lot of work , if you look at the first pic in the case you can see a little container that's filled with about 1 oz of fine gold took my dad most of the 1980s to find that from panning, then his buddy got a minelab detector. What a difference that made

That's awesome! It's nice you can do it state side and not in all the usual spots!

I bet it would command more than that as a specimen.
