I would have never made this public. Barack the Kenyan’s gestapo is going to be all over this poor guy.

Since when is gold “bringing more than $1000.00 an ounce”?

7 years for a $10,000 payoff?
That's something like 69 cents per hour.

He should have kept it quiet, I would assume the IRS will want a cut.

Some Nest Egg!
It wouldn’t apply to this nugget, but for a lot of the smaller ones as well as flakes, you can usually get more for gold like that in the form of jewelry. Doesn’t even have to be smelted. I’ve seen clear pendants with a pinch of gold dust
go for $300-$400, etc.
I saw something neat for the prospector on one of those gold shows. They called it a “poop chute”. They took a plastic ribbed black sewer pipe, about 10’ long and 6” in diameter, cut it in half lengthwise, and voila! - had themselves a riffle board to pick up the gold flakes, etc.
Yankee inginuity at its best.

The article is WRONG. Nevada produces more gold than ALL other US States combined.
