⭐ Gold Detecting Show'n Tell

[Chuky boy]

Even though that first piece is awesome. Would it be worth piecing it back together? Are the plant roots hanging out of it?

Edit- So that's the same piece?

Yeah still the same piece. How would I piece it back together?

Clean the roots off it with a mild acid and a tiny bit of Araldite?? to get them back together. I've seen people glue very complex crystal formations back together and they were 20/30/40+ pieces. Tedious work, but possible. Not sure what glue was used. Don't know if a thin superglue or thick Araldite would be better. Research it and don't rush into it. Don't want to spoil it.

Well done Col looks sweet, getting close to the 1oz club

Awesome looking piece Chucky, great find I'd be keeping it like that rather than try to separate the gold ...
Cheers T.

Thanks guys might try and piece it back together. I'll do some research on gem and mineral modelling.

Don't know if I can get these two back together looks pretty cool side by side I think.

Go see someone who specializes in ceramic repairs. They may have a glue that will fit the bill.

 

[Guest]

I reckon ya right. It would be nice displayed like that. They look sweet as, with lots of visible gold. Great find mate

 

[Guest]

I'm never much impressed with nuggets but that one really is a an excellent display specimen.
