這顆塊金的產地 Columbia, 還真的有點把牛搞混,
原來有 “哥倫比亞” 和 “加拿大英屬哥倫比亞” 的大不同.
塊金是賣家用金屬探測器, 在一處廢棄礦場找到的…
賣家提供了產地GPS座標… 一點也不擔心有人去和他搶~

This nugget was found in Hall Creek,
a Historic Gold Creek in the West Kootenay Region of British Columbia, Canada,
19 Kilometers south of Nelson.
The 7.1g nugget was found by myself on Sunday, August 29, 2010.
If you have access to Google Earth,
the coordinates are: 49 22 35 N 117 14 53 W.
Hall Creek has been mined since 1860.
Your nugget was found after removing approximately 24 inches of gravel.
It was sitting on a rock ledge under about 18 inches of water
and was spotted from approximately 20 feet away.
I guess the old timers missed that one.
