Congratulations to the winner, Tuolumne Todd! PM me with your mailing address.

The second closest guess was Got 4by4, who guessed 20.15 grams.

This was fun for me, and I hope it was fun for YOU! :occasion14:



What a cool contest, if terry will do this again next season I would like to donate some placer gold from my claim for next years contest, if other claim owners donate a little color then the winner next year can take home gold from all over the country. TNET rocks, thanks Terry

Wait a minute....... My best guess was 7.44 plus I was the 14.0 post and that added together equals 21.44. Minus the weight of the gold (20.52)comes to a difference of 0.092 grams ! That makes me the winner !
Thank Terry for the entertainment !
BTW I always flip rock because I find some goodies under them once in a while!!!
HH and Merry Christmas to all !
