We have been pounding a gold country relic site for a couple months and great stuff continues to pop up!! What a surprise when this whopper popped out of the ground.

For the non gold nugget hunters-- one this big is RARE!!

Also a couple seated dimes popped up.

The video is worth a watch!! Excuse the rough language but we all got pretty excited and we had a few (many) slips of the tongue!! :laughing7:

I just watched the video what a night fellas we are so lucky to live where we do. Can you do a huge favor and post this in the metal detecting section of the Gold Prospecting forum. There are a lot of fellas who would like to see this.

That was one of the most fun videos I've seen in a long time, excellent quality!
I've yelled while watching my football teams score on cable TV quieter than I did when I saw that nugget being unearthed!
Killer Seated, fantastic relics, and a unbelievable chunk of gold!
I most definitely vote Banner!

Man I wish there were lumps like that here in Central Pa. Need a digging buddy for a month or two? That would've bought a lot of supplies in the gold rush days just like today. Nice find and I'd vote banner nugget. Thanks for sharing! DDinPA.

Very impressive. I don't normally ask this because its not that important to me, but what is the market value of that specimen?

That is really something special. Nuggets that size don't come out of the ground very often. Great recovery!
