Au Seeker Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 When will it be auctioned ? According to this article, it will go on sale Thursday (tomorrow?), in San Francisco at the San Francisco Fall Antique show.http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Giant-gold-nugget-hits-the-market-in-S-F-5838424.php"Here we go again — what is believed to be the biggest gold nugget found in modern times in California’s historic Gold Country is going on sale Thursday in San Francisco.This 6.07-pound whopper is being sold by Tiburon coin dealer Don Kagin, the same dealer who is selling the $10 million worth of gold coins that made such a stir this year after they were found in a couple’s backyard in the Sierra. The “Butte Nugget,” so named because it was found by a gold hunter in the Butte County mountains, will be unveiled at the prestigious San Francisco Fall Antiques Show. The show opens Thursday at Fort Mason. The owner of the nugget asked Kagin to keep his name and the location of the find secret, a standard practice for anyone afraid of being swarmed by treasure-seekers and thugs. Kagin’s staff is still assessing the worth of the nugget and expects it to carry a price tag of $350,000 or more." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digger Bob Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Hi guys,I was off on a prospecting trip to Nevada when the story broke. I knew it was coming but didn't know when. Just got back last night with only a few little pickers to show.Anyway, I've been holding onto this story since July, not being able to say anything. And actually I can't add too much to it. Just about everything I can say was said in the video. Truly awesome to hold.I'll see if I can post some pics of it being dug up.Dang, I can't find the link on here to post pictures. Help!Digger Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
