Well, cashing in I guess, but there's so much work involved it kind of has a sentimental value attached to it now. According to another local prospector who also owns a jewelry shop, you should ask 3x the going rate for jewelry grade nuggets, so the one at the top left should be worth well over 3K now but I sure hate to sell it, been thinking about making it into a necklace or something.

You could go a long time between finding nuggets like that, if ever. Those are nice. It would be hard to sell them if they were mine, but 3k would buy a lot of mods for the truck.

Yeah, it would almost pay for the tranny rebuild I had to do last year! Here's the OD I saved for a paperweight, the rest of the parts looked just as bad.



It would be hard to replace though, I don't have access to that particular claim anymore.
