Well I am interested but you are too far away for me to pick it up.
Also I would prefer something with a stamp so its somewhat negotiable...just in case.
I think it is a good way of protecting savings as you cant dip in without a bit of effort and if you had to leave in a hurry at least you would have something.
I doubt if I am the only person to think that.
I think nuggets carry a premium such that you pay much more than the value in weight.
That does not apply to gold dust however...which is odd..I say that as I get the impression nuggets are a way of launding cash ..what better than dust however...I have been panning all my life and thats how I got all that dust you could say but such a story re nuggets seems not as believable.
Not that laundering money is my game...pay your tax and be happy to contribute I say and in any event dont get your cash from criminal activity.
I have a klm frontage to the Rocky river and we used to pan there for a little colour but as you say the reward does not meet the effort.
I fellow I know did 12 months full on like it was normal work with an illegal dredge and only made poor wages.
I just want to get a little bar for the heck of it.
