[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 675979, member: 4012"] I don't know why he would bother to do that - it isn't how I used to sell our gold finds, or any of my prospecting mates. Best to keep them 'as found' I reckon, in case you run into a collector or jewellery maker who'll happily pay over the odds for selected pieces. Back in the '80's, one of those mates parcelled up about about 15 ounces of sub-10 gram finds and sent them all off to the mint after shopping the gold around all his usual Kalgoorlie buyers. The following day he was introduced to an overseas buyer with deep pockets, who was specifically looking for bulk small nuggets and would have paid a premium for such a sizable collection! [/QUOTE]
