My Canon camera DIED last week and is getting repaired, so here is a quick cell phone shot, showing what I was describing when I was talking about writing things with gold nuggets. This is about 12 grams.

    You pan them yourself?

    I wish! The only successful panning I've ever done was in Ohio, but that was fine glacier gold. We're talking small amounts, too. Naw, this was all gold I bought on eBay, a gram a month, from SalemFrank until he appears to have run afoul of the IRS last week and pulled all of his auctions.

    That's neat. How do you store your nuggets?

    You store them in your nugget sack.

    I have a little glass half Oz vial for most of them. Not pictured is a three gram nugget I was given as a gift by my brother, who taught me panning.

    My dad had a small nugget, I remember it was so cool handling it when I was a little kid.
    It then disappeared and nobody in my family can remember where it was put!

    I was paying between $45 and $60 a gram, depending on how costly gold was at the time. Monarch Precious Metals is a good source, and they're selling a gram for $53.

    Let me know when you find one of these:
