    Well, it’s been a little slow for me with the holidays, and I probably should’ve let the price drop back down a bit...but this was at the LCS, he always sells to me between melt to melt +$1/oz...so I picked this up...first acquisition of the year

    I have the 10oz Perth Mint. Very nice bar!

    @Boosibri would be interested in seeing those spoons and info on the jeweler. He collects stuff from Kalamazoo from what I remember.

    If he wants them they are his for a reasonable price.

    @Boosibri if you would like the spoons please send me an offer.

    Thanks so much for thinking of me @ShadyDave. Kalamazoo is my hometown and I try to buy any interesting piece of history that I can find. Wortley wasn’t quite prominent and Main and Burdick would have been right dead in the middle of town. These spoons are quite common and full sets in pristine condition show up and sell for about $200. Probably not something in this condition that I would buy but awesome piece of local (to me) history.

    Ok then these are going to eBay. Any thoughts on the value for the pair in this condition?

    Another one today :)
    Bought this gold filled pocket watch today for $50 at a pawn shop.
    It runs really well and keeps time. Seems like it was just serviced.

    The exciting part is that after I got home I was looking at the chain it was attached to and it looks like solid gold! I acid tested it and it is indeed 10k solid gold :):p . 3.2g. of 10k so $66 scrap.

    I wonder if they would let you tour the facility? Cool regardless! :)

    Awesome finds @WildIdea - Where were you panning and do you happen to have any pictures of the mining equipment you used?

  • Hey guys! anyone help me out with this? 555 grams roughly.. not in the best shape.. should i really be paying just above spot or think its got a bigger premium attached ?

    I recently came across these photos and was reliving the experiences in my mind. From the hikes into the area and first realizing what I was onto and how it was an awesome footnote to everything else happening in life then. Each one of these pans shows a cleanup from one 8-10 hours of placer mining to physical exhaustion a very special plunge pool. It's always nice to see gold in your box before you even clean it out. Obsessed, I worked that hole for about a year until I was convinced I did what I could and it gave me what it wanted and moved on. I have yet to find another as packed or as exposed to the surface and reachable without heavy equipment.

    That's awesome!

    Gold panning/sluicing/MD'ing is great fun.... A real thrill when one sees 'color'....Cheers, RickO

  • cohodkcohodk Posts: 18,548 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Very nice. How much did you end up getting from that hole.

    A little acetone goes a long way....


  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Acetone cleans up the organics really well... and for those who like tarnish, it has no effect on that. Cheers, RickO
