WOW!!! Huge Gold Nugget while relic hunting!!

[Ron (CA)]

We have been pounding a gold country relic site for a couple months and great stuff continues to pop up!! What a surprise when this whopper popped out of the ground.

For the non gold nugget hunters-- one this big is RARE!!

Also a couple seated dimes popped up.

The video is worth a watch!! Excuse the rough language but we all got pretty excited and we had a few (many) slips of the tongue!!

Congrats on your banner find! The seated dimes and blasting cap-wow-topped off by a huge gold nugget! Loved the video. Sleep is over rated. Cindy

Incredible find and another great youtube video!

I remember when that area burned a few months back. It's a shame that site will probably be lost to development in the near future.

Very impressive. I don't normally ask this because its not that important to me, but what is the market value of that specimen?

About $1,500/oz last time I checked. It's actually down, earlier this year it was at about $1,700/oz.

Awesome just simply awesome.

WOW! Stunning beautiful BIG gold nugget! I'm beyond speechless!

You have to wonder if that is the native spot for the nugget or if it was dropped by miner. Either way, congrats on an amazing find!

 

[Ron (CA)]

Thanks Everyone!! My first banner find!! BONUS!!

About $1,500/oz last time I checked. It's actually down, earlier this year it was at about $1,700/oz.

but I thought it was worth more than melt?

 

[Jason in Enid]

but I thought it was worth more than melt?

It is. A collector would probably pay between 1.5x and 2x spot for it as a specimen.

Ron, Great video and thanks for sharing!

That nugget is really, really SOMETHING!

PS: Gold is a bit off it's high of last year..just over $1200/ ounce and even with the 50 - 100% premium for a specimen nugget I very much doubt that Ron would part with it!

Good lord man

Wow,

Amazing nugget, looks like someone threw you a bone. Literally it looks like a bone in the banner pick, I'd name it the "Dog bone Nugget"... Awesome find, as for the value. Its about x2 melt value as a specimen !

Congratulations awesome finds, video and site really a dream site !!

Keep @ it and HH !!
