It doesn"t look like that one has traveled much. Might be more where that one came from. And if its in the same area as the nugget that was found last year. Could be on to something. Very nice find sir.

The best part about finding it was, Me and Martin (the one who found the 1/2 oz nugget) were dredging right next to each other and we both got to enjoy this one coming out of the water. I had the gopro on so I have a live video of me finding it. I will post it soon, I have to edit out all the Holy S***'s and no f***ing way out of the video.

You can leave that part in it will be the best part. I forgot this is a family forum. I think I could hear you from southern N.H. Its great news for you. But also for gold in the Wild A.M. Looks like native gold to me.But im not an expert.

A cheap one until I can decide on a very good brand-name one to buy.

Thanks for sharing the video, Bryan! Again, awesome find! (Side note: that drone footage is always fun because it's such a different perspective that we rarely get of our hobby)
