Last fall, the OSPA too a trip to the Cotton Patch gold mine, New London, N.C. near Charlotte. We had a great time. The gold found there was associated with the quartz veins running through the property. We would gather the quartz from the mine and crush it to release the gold. When all was done we had recovered about 20 grams of gold after one day's effort.
Well, it comes down to the auction item. It's a 5 gallon bucket with about 65 pounds of gold-bearing material directly from the mine. There's no telling how much gold you will find in this bucket because it has not been searched of processed in any way. This item is only available for pickup either at my home or at an OSPA meeting. This item starts now and ends April 29 at 9pm eastern time.
The item will open with my bid of $10.
Good luck to all bidders.
