mn90403 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 When I read this story I thought about a different thread where we came to the conclusion that we don't need new detectors to patch hunt. This little tale confirms that ... even tho it might not be a 'patch!' Talk about striking gold! Metal detectorist unearths the largest gold nugget EVER found in England - and it's set to fetch at least £30,000 at auction | Daily Mail Online https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-13218195/Metal-detectorist-largest-gold-nugget-England.html 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phrunt Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I wonder if it's an English nugget, or a nugget someone lost there some time ago, If it commands a premium price for being found there, perhaps.... it's not really from there. A guy here found a 7 gram nugget in a city park, highly unlikely it was naturally there, someone at some point lost it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aureous Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Hope whoever buys it, gets an assay to determine its actual country of origin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geof_junk Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 A few years back someone took an Aus. nugget, I think it was 2 or 4 Oz and tried to sell it as an English nugget that he found there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
