Started as a placer nugget hunt, ended as a hard rock hunt.. LOL

[Jennifer-007]

When you head out with your GPX 5000 and Nugget Finder 12” Evo for a day of placer nugget hunting and come home a hard rock miner.. 🤣 The white stuff on it is called caliche and it’s in a bit of an ultrasonic bath to remove as I type this. Specific gravity test comes out at 121 grams, almost 4 ounces. First 4 links are videos, too large to embed including showing continuity of the sheet of gold in the specimen. Found in Southern Nevada/Northern Arizona at less than a foot depth. The little tuft of green copper is a nice touch.

Awesome. Congratulations. Had a mate that used to slab them too and sell the polished slices mounted on picture stands. Beautiful way to display.

His profile shows he hasn't been on the forum since the 26th of September, but it does show him as a "Charter Member" if that's the upgrade you're referring too.
