HOLLY!! Merry Christmas, Batman!! What a nugget!

I think whats4supper has the right answer!

Hello All, I would like to take a moment & give thanks. To all prospectors, I hope you and your family has a safe and happy holiday season! Also, we should take a moment to give thanks for all of the past & present military that have lost their lives in the ongoing fight for our freedom!!! Thanks to all, Happy Holidays (gr8goldonly)

What a great picture!!

Hey, I think the best way to go is either goldbay.com or ebay! If you try to get it refined yourself, chances are you WILL get ripped off one way or another. Sell it on your own. Nuggets and fines do very well on these sites. Good Luck

Hey all, I was wondering if all of you could help with an issue that I cannot seem to get a good answer for. I am looking into membership in a gold club. Is the GPAA a good one for new prospectors? I hear they are the largest and have many claims. I live in Vermont and just can't find any clubs that are active in my state. I contacted one guy from the GPAA of Vermont and he told me i had to be a GPAA member first! The club is $79.50 (membership fee) plus shipping. Are any of you members and is it worth the time and money? If you have any issues or inside info you can pm me. All other responses can be posted to the forum for all eyes to see. I guess I am getting sick of the huge influx of new people to ebay, outbidding me for a gram nugget that is only worth $25 bucks with shipping. These people are sick or crazy bidding $43.50 for a 1.02 Gram nugget! I want to find my own grammies and any help will be greatly appreciated. THANKS IN ADVANCE!

It worked!! Ebay pulled all his items for sale. GOOD JOB ALL! People like this should not be allowed to put fakes for sale. I bet this guy is not too happy. We all want gr8goldonly!

Thanks so much for all your feedback on this subject. I still can't reproduce the luster of some of the ones i purchased off ebay. I used the toothbrush and dish soap on a nugget that a friend from Nevada sold me and it just dont gleem like the one pictured above that i bought off ebay. This 2 plus gram nugget i bought off ebay looks like a piece of jewelry it gleems so, even in low light. The ones i cleaned with toothbrush and soap just looks dull! Does it matter what part of the world the nugget comes from as far as it's sparkle? I have some from Alaska that gleem and some look dull from the same part of alaska. What gives?

WOW!! You guys rock! Way to go! Great finds and keep up the GOLD JOB!!

I was wondering if the gold nuggets i purchased off ebay that were cleaned in acid worth less than the uncleaned nuggets? I am a nugget collector that likes samples with no inclusions. Is that the norm with second hand nuggets? Are most natural nuggets that are put up for auction cleaned? I like them either way as long as they are natural and no inclusions! Please let me know if value is hurt if nuggets are cleaned but, not damaged during this cleaning! Thanks all, GR8GOLDONLY
