Who needs a detector when a few sheep will get you to the gold:

One lucky farmer I'd say!! I look at the ground all the time for arrowheads and placer gold but no luck yet. Maybe I need some sheep!

We have a women detectorist in the club that has jewelry radar. Makes me look like a beginner. Hate people like that. LOL

Crazy story but the gold nugget does not look right.

I heard the California couples find was plant not a real find. I can't find anything to prove that so I must be out of my mind.

Yeah Ron, I noticed that too. There's a Shutterstock.com logo on the bottom of the pic and it looks like a gold painted rock. Probably a promotional photo. I've never seen a gold nugget that has that texture.

Not sure anyone can prove that it is fake, and numismatic value was about $10M. Not sure who has $10M worth of rare coins to bury in the ground, cover with dirt and then give 70% to the government leeches!!

But it seems that every good find gets doubted!! Heck, don't you know all of our recent finds are fake too!! LOL

Yea, I hear the leeches are trying to get it all.

Looks kinda strange to me too

maybe it's gold colored sheep poop

OK So the dude is in China,

I am sure he had to report the 17 lb gold nugget to the commie bosses and then that is what they gave back to him!! LOL

Gold spray painted turd!
