I don't know, It just got posted elsewhere, I had never seen it until now, most likely it was found a while ago, I think it might of been in the 1990s from what I just read..

Maybe steve found it up there in them tailing piles and he forgot to tell us.

It's the Alaska Centennial Nugget found back in 1998. A nice chunk, no doubt!

I know the guy that took the photo that was posted on Facebook (Marshall Ronne) and got permission to use it on my old website at http://www.akmining.biz/mine/nuggets.htm

I also know the guy that found the nugget, Barry Clay. Have not talked with him in a couple years though.

One heck of a chunk of gold!

People lift stuff from that old page a lot. I even found a "movie" on YouTube that walked through the photos one by one along with my descriptions.

The Alaska Centennial Nugget - 294.10 Troy Ounces

The largest gold nugget ever found in Alaska. It was found near Ruby, Alaska in 1998 by a miner as he operated his bulldozer. The nugget rolled off the pile of dirt ahead of the bulldozer blade. This nugget was sold and the current location is unknown.

I thought I had read and seen it before, I lost my old computer and all the info on it, I love going over these old stories during winter when it is too cold to go out, I still have some of the AMD links there is still a lot of great info there.
