I picked up a few real nice nuggets last summer including the most unique nugget
that I have ever found! This beauty weighs half ounce.

It makes you wonder if Pedro ever saved that very first nugget he found in Alaska - near Fairbanks?
GREAT find there, Dick --- go look for another one like this "Toothpaste" one over the coming season!

Wonderful piece of yellow. I would definitely hold on to that one. It is thick enough
that you couldn't focus on the entire piece.
