I second what Bones said, HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!!!!!! You gotta be kidding me?!?! I actually thought it was a big ol' hunk of iron when Mark pulled it up! That's crazy. Never seen a flat nugget before. Ron, not sure I can put it on the banner...
I don't think it'll fit!!!
My personal opinion (not being much of a gold guy, just going on gut) is that that piece is worth FAR more than the weight. On such a large piece like that (very rare), I'm sure there's going to be QUITE a premium paid...IF the nug was sold, which I know would be hard to do. I very rarely discuss value on finds, cause, well, first, it's not really the important part of this hobby, and second, most finds aren't worth a whole lot. THAT thing however, would command a mighty premium, IMHO.
Truly astounding!!! And by the way...
Walter Cronkite, er, Ron, FANTASTIC video
Banner all the way Now try and get Mark back on here, lol.
HOLY SHIT!!!!Was my words exactly same time as Mark on the video,lol. Badass dude, alot better than the subgrain crumbs I get!! I assume yall went back with the big guns!
Mark, I am truly beyond words. That is the find of a lifetime. And DID YOU CHECK THE HOLE???? To see a natural 76.2 pennyweight CHUNK of gold nugget dug live and videoed well is going to be a youtube killer in about a day or so! Congratulations on both!!
And if my wife sees this video, we will be moving to California real soon.
WOW!!! That's incredible!!! I love how he picked it up out of the hole and realized what it was and he threw it back down and you both flip out! That's an amazing find!!
