Uncle Ron Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Yo All...Got out with family shootin' guns, drinkin' beer and eatin' hotdogs, hamburgers and watermelon on father's day to a spot that's not known for gold ... My stepson shot a bird out of the air (booooo) and we went over to check it out ... I leaped over a small gully and specked a copper color down in the gut... Turned out to be this cool copper speci ...Screams on the detector and weighs in at 13+ ounces troy ... I've never found a copper nug like this one that has both quartz and copper in it ... Very nice collector's piece ... Cheers, Unc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldfinger Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Terrific find!!! Hard to say what it might be worth but I would sure go back to that spot and look for more. If you found that piece, obviously it hasn't been hunted much....Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
