Hey folks,

I went out and spent a few hours at the National Money Show located inside the Sacramento Convention Center. A 7 pound nugget, which was found near the Nevada county town of Washington last year,was put on display and then later auctioned off for $460,000. I took some pictures of gold items and valuable coins. I'm sure some of these are on everyone's bucket list.you know what ...........There is nothing wrong with dreaming. :daydream:

Enjoy,
Dale

Hello Martin, looks like it started off with a ground penetrating radar unit first then a metal detector hears how the guy found it :smitten: :smitten:
