A prospector Oscar Espinoza (in central California) found a gold nugget the size of a steak bone. Espinoza told the folks at Gold Prospecting Adventures he'd been searching in nearby Woodscreek. Are you familiar with this story?

The nugget weighs about 18 ounces, and Espinoza could get $70,000 for it. Have you ever prospected for gold? Yes

Oscar Espinoza is keeping a low profile. He has asked his friend Charlie Morgan (owner of the Jamestown Hotel) to keep it in a safe at a unknown location until Oscar can find a buyer. If you were Oscar, would you be willing to sell the gold nugget? Yes

The nugget is a piece of history, and it is also a rare find that will spark collectors' interest. Local businesses in the little town of Jamestown are banking on a modern gold rush. Do you think there will be prospectors (or people in general) searching for gold nuggets in Jamestown? Yes
