Got me to thinking about largest gold nuggets ever, and that multiplied by 1500, lol. I found a neat link here with a list of nuggets from Alaska, the largest being 294 troy oz and some change. So around 440,000 that would be worth. That hunk of gold would look nice in my collection needless to say.... It also seems like on the TV show "Gold Rush", they ran one of those on the way to break trivia facts about the largest gold nugget being found on a bulldozer shovel in Alaska up to that point in the early 1900's, and it seems like it weighed around 140 troy oz..... http://www.akmining.com/mine/nuggets.htm Edited by Silverhawk74 04/20/2011 2:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff

hockingzig Pillar of the Community United States 1450 Posts	Posted 04/20/2011 10:49 am Silverhawk,I am a geologist by training and think rocks and minerals are magnificent creations so I LOVED the photos in your attached article. It is amazing what the natural processes produce. I would love to have a nice nugget in my mineral collection(even though gold is really an element and not a mineral). Report this Post to the Staff

Silverhawk74 Pillar of the Community United States 3670 Posts	Posted 04/20/2011 2:37 pm Glad you guys liked that link, I thought it was pretty well put together myself, how they have them listed from largest known find and down. What a dream it would be to find a nugget that makes that list, even at the bottom, lol.... Report this Post to the Staff
