[Rockhounds] Old Gold: Need small, reasonably priced mineral sample.

[Julie Siebel]

Hey, thanks, Kreigh. I've found lots of nuggets. I'm looking for more of a 
mineral specimen that includes gold.

lol - I know we have some gold specks in quartzite or something around here 
somewhere, but I've not got a clue where!

In searching for something different on the internet, I ran into some 
*gorgeous* specimens, but they were $2500-$3000.
