15 ounces of pure gold would completely change my life right now. Congrats to that person.

That's no nugget, that's a whole chicken tender!

That is the largest nugget I've seen come out of North America for a long time. I have dug and panned for gold for over 40 years and the biggest nugget I've ever found weighed just a little over 7 ounces with most everything else being under a ounce and lots of dust. That's a once in a lifetime find my friend, enjoy it and don't sell it by the weight, there are lots of collectors out there that will pay double and maybe triple the worth in weight to add it to their collection

What's funny is that by today's standards, it's a huge nugget! However, in 1799, when the first documented discovery of gold in North America happened, it was a 17 pound nugget that started it. A few years later, on the same property, even larger nuggets were found.

For those wondering. Spot price would be like 30k but specimen value would be huge. Probably anywhere from 50-100k to the right person or even more!

These chicken nugget ads are golden.

Value added for size. $34k in weight, probably get 45-50 for it, maybe more.

Daaaaaamn Daniel, back at it again with the green Pan! 😅

Specimen value should far exceed spot value. Very cool!

That is a once in a lifetime find!! Congratulations✨😍

Leprechauns really do be having a pot of gold aye

I haven't been seeing a lot of your shorts during my scrolling adventures. Glad to see you're still getting out there so I don't have to. I work outside so im indoors being lazy any chance i can get.

Dan combed his Beautiful Beard and look what dropped out! LOL

I love gooooold! The look of it, the taste of it, the smell of it, the texture! Gold Member

*15 ounces is 425 grams. It's almost $100 CAD for every 1 gram of gold nugget in British Columbia. So, this is actually closest to $40,000 CAD on the B.C. market.*

It wouldn't feel weirdly heavy to us Sturgeon fisherman as we're slinging 20oz+ of lead out there regularly, haha.

Man that's a blessing so nice almost a pound of gold in ya hand.

The Anunnaki must have missed that one!

He looks exactly like a gold miner would look in my mind…dancing around saying gold. lol

Think about how many millions of years have passed, billions of animals that have crept over, seasons that have rained and struck over this small piece of metal that traveled through such high temperatures... just to give this guy a beautiful smile on his face.

Nowadays and as far as placer gold goes I’m pretty sure that monster qualifies as a metric shit ton

Dan will probably purchase it. He does that often. Buys gold from friends who find, to sell in his store. That is really beautiful.😊

Respect for having Mint teeth. Keep taking care of them like you do, and in another 40 years when you're 90, you'll still have em all in that condition :P

That guy looks like the text book definition of a gold miner.

Dream Find right there 👍👍

‘Bout make me bum rush for gold.

Now that's a true prospector right there, he's got the beard, the hat, and he bit the nugget. That's surreal

Your persona is wholesome. Glad to have a fairytale come true😅👍🏾

The old prospector chomp trick passed down through generations. Secretly have you teeth sharpened and grind off some of that sweet gold doing a bite test. Fools em every time 😂

"Thanks bro, appreciate it" *Proceeds to walk off with it*

This is what a real piece of gold looks like, congratulations my friend, good luck.

Was not expecting that guy yet expected it this entire time

YOU PANNED THAT!??! 🤯👍🏻🖤👏🏻😆🤙🏻

Fifteen ounces of GOLD is much heavier than the same 15 ounces of hamburger. This is because gold is weighed in troy ounce which are 31.103 grams (close to) whereas hamburger is only 28.3564 grams per ounce!

Lmao you look like the guy straight out of the “where’s the gold” slot game 😂

The face def fits the whole gold rush man completely.... 100 percent not prepared

Dan's my favorite gold nugget channel.👍👍👍👍👍

I absolutely love your vids keep it goin bud

"Wow that's heavy." 🏃‍♂️💨 😂

The way he said " nugget " just make me laugh so hard 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 that was funny as hell

That's by far one of the bigger nuggets I've seen on this channel. Roughly 15oz? That's about $30,000 of gold there

That’s big $$$$$ gold value it’s $28,860 then add that it’s a solid nugget. Your talking $50,000+ in his hand. 😅

Ya got more than a Nugget dude👍🤓👍...big shiny ✨ congrats 👏✨

This man actually became a prospector, gotta respect that. Nugget!!!😂

i want to go west so bad lol.... back into the yukon!! deep into the wild!!

Fun Fact: A ton (2000 pounds) of gold would be 12"x12"x14". Very dense. For comparison, a 12" cube of iron is only 491 pounds.

Just looking at that extraordinary nugget immediately makes you realize why they call it "gold fever". This is what happened in the Klondike and all the famous gold rushes of history, when nuggets like these inspired thousands of gold-crazed people to flock to the places where these were first discovered.

$32,000+ wow. And then the value of a rare nugget like that. It’s gotta be incredible.

I'll buy that for a dollar 💵.😁😁😁😁👍💯🐟👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋

Parker would be so fucking jealous.... 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂

That guy doing a Groucho Mark's routine with his golden Havana has gold fever obviously.

Congratulations Dan!

Bro looked exactly like he was supposed to look like spelunker Headass 😂

That man looks straight out of history true western gold prospector

I wish! Amazing score. Keep on keeping on

Feels so heavy because Gold is a very dense metal. Similar to how Tungsten is very dense. Density usually equals a greater weight to the metal.

Congratulations! What a find!

He looks exactly like the kind of guy that would find a huge nugget lol

What's crazy is that he looks just like the prospector in Red Dead 2. You better run if you see someone running up on horseback!

Looks like something you’ll find in the finest taco bell restaurant bathroom

“Looks like you found me some gold!”

He looks just like the guy on the scratcher tickets. How hilarious 🤑 🤣 🤣 🤣

CRIP originally stood for “Community Revolution in Progress “ in the late 60’s when it started. That’s what I have always heard.

River gold. You can see how smooth the edges are from running water. The movie “Gold” covers this and it was a true story from the 1980’s.

That is a really nice specimen congratulations🎉

The guy at the end looks like the guy off the gold mine pokie machine🥰

That old McDonald at the end was funny

I am so glad this guy looks exactly like a prospector should

That's practically a museum peice! You should take a casting of it before doing whatever ya do.

Dude’s just walking around with a $30,000 rock.

That is an amazing, once in a lifetime find! Wow indeed! 😮😊

"You're training for years, 100%". Bro knew something was up....😂😂😂 Anatoly never breaks character!

Congratulations 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Like they say in fishing don’t leave fish to find fish. That’s the SPOT!

Gold is presently $2,100 per ounce. That's a $31,000 nugget.

Nice bring that back over to my house now thanks for finding my gold!

It’s worth more than its weight just because of the pure size and shape being a prime specimen of a nugget A guy recently found a nugget in California washed out of a hillside that was very large

Wow! I didn’t know you can find them that big!

That is a gold nugget, I couldn't imagine finding one that size, but in the past that size was probably more common.

What an amazing find. I genuinely might just dedicate the rest of my life to panning for gold.

Dan's the man. You can always believe in what he is saying, and not like pushing false narrative, just to get ratings.

Gold nugget that size is priceless

Its funny how we attributed so much value to rocks.

This man just found the price of a new car in the dirt. Lucky son of a gun.

I like it!!❤

IRS: "How heavy is 30% of that nugget haha"

Geeze that's good nugget of gold. If my math is correct that's probably around $30k-$33k because gold is valued at about $2,100-$2,200 per oz.

When you were bitting that you looked like the Abominable Snow Man on the Christmas cartoon Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer, with red hair instead of white😂

Heh. Here’s a fun fact about the history of precious metals: Aluminum was considered MORE valuable than gold over 100 years ago, even though it is a very common element in earth’s crust, because nobody had any idea for most of history on how to efficiently extract it en mass from various soils & stones until new smelting techniques were developed in the 1920s. Prior to that, the only way to get pure aluminum was by finding nuggets or veins of naturally pure ore, & those ARE extremely rare, usually in certain basaltic environments like Devil’s Tower. Prior to the new smelting techniques, there were greedy entrepreneurs who looked to the tower very hungrily because it may be the richest potential source of naturally pure aluminum in the world. Fortunately, it is now literally as cheap as the dirt it’s extracted from.

Have you ever seen the one at the Golden Nugget, downtown, in Las Vegas? It is enormous, about 4 times the size of this one, maybe more.

Old Tom Bombadil is indeed a merry fellow.

Dude said "there be gold in them black hills"

That last guy got s chuckle out of me.

I always wondered if gold miners ever miss these with the rocks they don't keep? I bet they do

The guy biting it looks exactly like what I personally would imagine a gold rush miner to look like

Holy crow what a find. One for the display perhaps?

People think all the big gold is gone, there's still LOTS there if you know WHERE to look. Just like the planets in space in plane view we're still discovering.

They've been finding nuggets like this outside of Reno lately

As someone who just got his wisdom tooth removed, you pretending to bite it at the end made me hurt. 😅

Honest worker for turning it in

Wow just WOW!!😮🎉. Nice
