The nugget is not covered. Does this mean that the source is close?

to me it looks like it was etched in an acid bath from the host rock
could be Eluvial (at the source) not likely that its Alluvial (traveled much)

That's how it was found. He was only washed with water. There is a lot of quartz in the area with gold particles

Where are you digging?

If your finding stuff like that you are close to a source.

Basically raw native gold.

Yup, can still see the crystalline gold. Very close!
