hurthawk Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 A friend and I were out checking some possible prospecting locations in the mother lode last week. We stopped at the Ironstone vineyards to look at their mining museum. I thought you might be interested in the nugget they have on display RickP.S. It was found in 1993 at the Jamestown mine and weighs 60 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gus in idaho Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 The Crown Jewel....I saw a show on that piece. A worker at the mine saw it going up a conveyor belt and thought it was a piece of equipment that had broken off.There is a guy sitting on top of it gold panning.And it is kept in a pretty hefty vault.Nice pics, thanks for sharing.Gus- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
