Wow, must make for a nice rush when you find one. Got my first one time - but it turned out to be a tooth cap.

Cool nugget George.
You mean it's not as easy as they show on TV?
They always seem to find lots in only 20 to 30 minutes........

Keep safe...

Wow. I can see why the ancients considered it pieces of the sun. Beautiful.

Rumor has it there are some deposits the glaciers relocated and pooled up in this general region, but I've never heard of anyone finding any.
