Hello all, here's a pic of one of the more interesting looking nuggets I found last year. Looks like a skull with smoke swirling off the back of it. I've been looking at pics of gold that I've sold over the years because its pouring rain outside.. Have to remind myself what it looks like when I'm not out there finding it haha :laughing7:.

Nice nugget! How'd you find it?
I was working an area sluicing and my hands were freezing up because it was so cold! So I got out of the creek area and stood in the sun for a while to warm up. When I came back the water had cleared and I saw it sitting on a ledge of bedrock underwater.
 

Here's a couple more found within a few feet from each other.

I think they were all about a half gram.
