jjbond Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Looks like a GPZ....

Tortuga Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Yep I'd agree. Fancy little screen cover he has, must be a CTX accessory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZNuggetBob Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Jen we have many 87 plus oz nuggets here in the USA, we just havent found all of them yet. AzNuggetBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relichunter2 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Yes it was posted, but it never gets to old not to look at it again...Why does an Australian nugget of 87 ounces go for 200 K and the California Butte Nugget at 75 ounces 400K ? Seems like a HUGE difference....considering their gold runs between 94-96% pure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wes Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Its because California is just awesome. Dont question it Fred. It just is what it is Seriously though I would say its the provenance of the nuggets that make em more valued here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjbond Posted March 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 I actually posted this one because it had photos of what appeared to be a GPZ which I didn't see in the earlier posts.TaJen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relichunter2 Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Hey Wes,Your right, I better just not question it.. ..it's not in my interest. Very few California nuggets that size have been found....so I get it...but what a shame ...double melt value for that hunk of metal seems like a steal.Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
