matt Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 It looks like a freshly dug nugget by the dull appearance of the gold. I love when they come out of the ground! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnno Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Just to let you guys know, it arrived Saturday to the Tucson show. If I had a chance to stay Sunday, I could have held this sucker in my hot little hands. It's now owned by someone in the USA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anelson05 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Thats an amazing nugget. It is at the Inn Suites in Tucson right now for the Tucson Rock and Gem Show. I saw it this last weekend. The same guys have some really nice multi ounce platinum nuggets from the Urals too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
