Wouldn't you do better to sell them as nuggets ? seems a pity to melt down that much nice alluvial Gold. How long did it take you to find that much ? (in reply to Kim) Post #: 2

This is just the smaller stuff the bigger nuggets won't be going to the mint they are kept at the bank. Dr J I have to apologise for the gold displays. I know this is a bottle forum and I should know better. A lot of forum members seem to have detectors and it is related in a sense . I promise to behave myself in future and stick to the bottles lol. regards Kim (in reply to IRISH) Post #: 4

Found it with a Whites Det down about two inches in a baseball field. Also found a 14K gold and diamond braclet behind a stump in the woods. Braclet was flatened by something and the Bar holding the Diamond was plated Black Hills Gold. Got $95.00 for braclet which I used to have a blue Topaz put onto the ring I just told you about. Only way to find gold here Dave _____________________________ David E Dearden (in reply to Kim) Post #: 6

Now your penance is to send us all one of those 'big' pieces you have in the bank! Don't stop, keep those pictures coming! Do you have any interests in sem-precious gems at all? _____________________________ Norm Miller (in reply to Kim) Post #: 7
