azdigger Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Very nice Bill, I would have been happy even if there was no gold....I been getting excited over lead shavings in tailing piles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortuga Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Very cool. It's hard to tell from the pic but is the yellow part the gold? Looks kinda sulphury. I have a small specimen that's similar to that with green copper on one side and a yellow, sulphury part on the other. I can't actually see the shine of gold on it tho so I wasn't sure what it was.

Nugget Shooter Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 Hi Tom, beeped it and was down on bedrock at about 10 inches. Only visible gold is shown in picture rest is inside and no smashing this one.... No actual copper metal, just the Malachite and some gold....

I have a small specimen that's similar to that with green copper on one side and a yellow, sulphury part on the other. I can't actually see the shine of gold on it tho so I wasn't sure what it was.It is most definitely gold and there is more inside though not going to break it open.... Have found similar specimens over the years though much smaller and no where near as much Malachite nor as large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Au Seeker Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Nice looking piece Bill! Maybe do a specific gravity test to get an idea of how much gold is in it, maybe have an x-ray done, maybe it will do something cool to the malachite, maybe it'll glow in the dark! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
