Roughly the size of a US quarter. Not as big as you’d think.
About 2.1 troy ounces. Journalists never seem to know about troy weight.
“Nugget...Unearthed With Faulty Metal Detector”
Wouldn’t a shovel be easier?
Hey! My great . . . (10 to the 10 power) ancestor dropped that while running away from the Normans?
Anyway, IT IS MINE!
Richard Brock looks up and gives thanks I would.
Right underneath that gold nugget was one that would have been weighed in by many pounds but he had faulty equipment so... he found a 2.88oz nugget.
Largest in the world was found in Victoria, Australia and weighed 210 lbs.
Largest in California weighed 109.2 lbs.
