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:

Ron, you are one of those rare individuals who just comes naturally to getting the most out of machines. And one who truly peaks out on the sport's strategy, & appreciation for history that goes along with this hobby. Thanx for posting! Congratz on banner.
