I’m amazed the power this stuff holds over me. I’m utterly besotted by it.
Ive done a little panning, nothing serious and I’ve never found more than a few grains... 

However a few years ago I stumped up and brought a good sized chunk Australian nugget, spending just under a grand. 
 
I instantly fell in love with the unnatural weight, the cold smooth surface... Unlike a coin, I found myself repeatedly getting it out to hold, it’s tactical shape was utterly alluring.
 
Lucky as I am, I managed to secure 20g of small nuggets for under £30 a gram, from someone who needed money fast and made an offer that was impossible to turn down.
 
And that was me, really hooked! Since then my ‘stack’ has grown and grown... 
 
Some of my nuggets are the most beautiful things I own. Under a scope you can clearly see its structure, how it’s grown. Some with quartz crystals growing together creating images very pleasing to the eye!
 
People talk about ‘gold fever’, men who gave up everything during the gold rush days gone by... I get it! It has almost a supernatural ‘hold’ over me. 
 
Does anyone else have the bug? 
 
It’s good investment material with collectors paying significantly over spot price for the shape they fancy... 

Fantastic little auction buy. No silver sadly. I’ve only opened 25% tubes which mainly contain Uncirculated coins, apart from a couple of the old penny tube which was was full of used coins.

A few more auction buys of late! I managed to bag a kilo of pre 1920’s silver which was heaven to sort through and a couple of kilos of 1920 50% silver. Once I’ve finished sorting I’ll photograph and post as I have discovered some beautiful coins.
LOVE buying lots at auction, they are a gamble, the discovery of searching through them is full of child like wonder!

A lovely surprise in a mixed silver lot from an auction house arrived today...

Love this, thanks for sharing.
Imagine finding that on a dive, what a buzz! It almost doesn’t look legit it’s so well preserved. Amazing... 
Treasure hunting appeals to my inner child... I’ve just recently finished listening to the story of Oak Island https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.cbc.ca/amp/1.5573186
Such an unbelievable story, yet true.
The amount of treasures sank during the days of adventure and exploration on the high seas... Haven’t we mapped out more of the moon than our own ocean beds? Imagine the discoveries yet to be found!
