<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tallpaul000, post: 716811, member: 204&quot;]Gold nuggets go pretty close to spot on ebay, and that is a good deal.&nbsp; The smaller the gold, typically has a higher fineness.&nbsp; Most gold is 20-22K. I have mined a bit in northern california and have seen placer gold from different locations.&nbsp; Trinity gold (klamath) typically has a lower fineness, more alloy with silver, while feather river gold is 22K+ and very yellow with a hint if orange (iron).&nbsp; Real gold nuggets should have a dimpled surface, never completely smooth and sometimes shows rock and quartz.&nbsp; Miners typically clean their gold with a nitric acid solution, so a raw nugget might not have the gleam of a cleaned nugget.&nbsp; Specimen gold is also beautiful.&nbsp; I have 2 pieces around 7 grams each, thumbnail or miniature size.&nbsp; One piece is from the 16-1 mine and is spectacular looking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
