A picture of the "nugget in hand" is at the side of this page (and every page of my blog). At 1500 grams, this nugget has a gold value of US$21,000 or almost C$25,000. As a showpiece nugget, it probably would fetch more. Gold is incredibly soft - but the angularity of this nugget indicates that it had not "traveled" or been carried far away from the spot that God made it.

Sure looks like another good hunting area to me!

Cassidy was on the bit and when it became aware of the find, immediately applied to the government to obtain the mineral rights to the area where this piece was found. Its success was announced in a news release on December 1, 2004.
