Dave Shaddrick worked on this deposit during his stretch with the Homestake Mining Company decades ago. He told us this specimen ran 1300 oz/ton gold. He broke it in half and tried to cook it in his oven, resulting in gold globules visible. Size of the rocks each is about 2 x 1.25 x 1.5". Combined weight 127.8 grams.
