It would be worth much more than they are claiming.
Natural Nuggets command a premium, and some really rich dude would want it to compensate for his small other thing, and display it as art.

Great story, Red. Thanks. But
“It is a great story of two guys instantly becoming fabulously rich. In those days that didn’t happen,” remarked John Tully from the Goldfields Historical Society.
Huh? There are lots of men who became fabulously rich almost overnight in the big gold rushes in the late 1800s.
I'm reading the history of Bodie, CA and Aurora, NV in "Gunfighters, Highwaymen, and Vigilantes: Violence on the Frontier" by Roger D. McGrath and many men became wealthy from gold and silver almost overnight. Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) staked a very valuable claim that later was worth millions. But through mixups and misunderstandings, the three partners did not do the work needed to "prove" the claim. Nevada mining law required claim owners to perform work or file notice within ten days to maintain ownership. At the stroke of midnight on the tenth day, others swept in and took the accidentally relinquished claim. He and his brother were "this close" to unimagined wealth.

My Great-great grandfather, Jacob Samuel Pfautz and his brother, struck it rich in California in 1854 and bought land in eastern Iowa, northern Missouri, and South Dakota.
His son, John Martin Pfautz my Great grandfather, spent it all.

Natural gold nuggets aren’t worth the “price of gold” because they have to be assayed first. A one ounce gold nugget you dug out of a river will be worth much less than spot price. What you would hope is that it would be unique in some way, and would be worth more as jewelry.

“... Weighs as Much as an Adult Man ...”
Disgusting clickbait headline. The nugget doesn’t exist anymore. Those pictures are fakes.
To: Red Badger
That would work worth about $6.4 million with today’s prices.

I think we’re lowballing the worth of this nugget.
Gold was $3339.15 today. So....$3,339.15 an oz x 16 oz. x 220 pounds is $11,753,843.20 give or take a few cents.
