    Hi Mark. It might interest you to know that there is a gold prospecting club that is in your area. It's called Northeast Illinois Gold Prospectors and is located in Alsip, Il. You might want to check them out. Here is a link to their site... http://www.northeastillinoisgpaa.org/

    Thanks Jim. I haven't yet found a nugget but my biggest picker is a triangular shaped flake that measures 1/8 inch tall by 1/8 inch wide at the base.
