Hi all today i went to the north end of the reef and worked up the only remaining side of the creek that cuts across the the surfacing saddle quartz reef.About 60 feet down stream near a large set of granite boulders i found what i thought to be a nugget that fell to be about 2 onces but i got it quite wrong.On the gold scales came at 34 grams. There is also pieces of iron stone in the nugget.So just how much gold i would say only 75%

Also picked up a really old marble, chiness med vile, and a brass cigar case top. I still have not found one coin in weeks.I got more than my share of junk to. brass fitting and old pot handles and iron.

you must find enough gold to make a living out of it :thumbsup:

do you sell your gold?
 
Wow! I'd be happy to find no coins if I found something like that!
 
Very impressive finds, that nugget would look nice in pendent form.

It stinks that you haven't found any coins...all that gold keeps getting in the way!! ;D ;D
 
An ounce nugget deserves the banner.

Well done once again, friend Tin!

I would take that over a old coin anyday. Nice bottle. Congrats.
