Saw that in the news yesterday!
It would be too big to fit in my vial.

Great. Just great. Now I gotta add a metal detector to my list for next Christmas..... I'm hopeless.

Congrats to the finder, and that just goes to show that the Oldtimers did not find it all - unless that was a solid gold meteorite.....

WOW! That is the stuff dreams are made of.

Sure would be nice to find one of those in your lifetime. Most I have ever found with a detector is an old tractor seat.

Amusing. To bad the second t didnt make it. Funny how things get truncated.

Nice nugget. Not the greatest, but nice.

I would cry with joy if I ever found one!

Posted by: NewRockHounder Oct 28 2014, 01:03 PM

Heck, if I found one - I'd probably have a heart attack from the shock and someone would steal it.

Posted by: Ozarkgoldhound Jan 3 2015, 09:13 PM

I would have a hard time handing it back. LOL

Here, give it to me and I'll fix that problem for ya!

Reminds me of the day Dan was also being closely watched like a hawk while holding this precious.

I couldn't believe they let us play with the gold like that. Sure had them on the edge till you gave them back.
