I am fortunate to live in Dunolly, Victoria, Australia. This is about ten km from where the Welcome Stranger was found. Earlier this year I had the opportunity to hold a recently discovered nugget weighing a shade over 23 Kilograms. I detect for gold most days and my largest nugget to date is 5.7 troy ounces.

I recently ran across an old publication online that talked about the most famous gold nuggets in history along with all the stories of who found them and when. Some were found in areas already worked over. The most insane stories obviously from Australia. But most of the larger nuggets were found within a few feet of the surface. Most were eventually sold to the British. Makes you wonder what your steppin on out there!

Thanks for the update as I was wondering where the Golden Eagle was in the list.

I detected the Golden Triangle Victoria Australia from 1996-2014 part time on and off. I enjoyed every minute of it. Such an exciting hobby. I found around 25~30 oz. The largest was 3/4 oz found at Tarnagulla. I sold a lot of it during the 90s for around $350 per oz. Today it's worth around $2000 per oz. Dems the brakes .

Your approach to this video was exactly what I was looking for. Great job. You most likely won’t see this but I appreciate the hard work.

Haha, subscribe or not, won’t break my heart...classic. Pretty much the only reason I subscribed. Always lookin out for that record breaking nugget but even a 10 would be a game changer. Keep up the great work.

Awesome video thanks for sharing it with us

Thanks for sharing life with enthusiasm

You really articulated it right. Thank you.

Ive seen the replica of the Welcome Nugget. Interesting enough at the time that this was found my distant relatives was living in ballarat.

My great uncle found the Mojave nugget. I’ve seen pictures of it, and I can’t imagine the rush he got when he held it fort he first time.

I subscribed just because of what you’ve said the last seconds of the video. Well said 12:50 lol

You made me imagine what it would be like to unravel something this big from the earth, I don't think I will sleep good now lol

Good video, very informative, easy lotening and a human voice!..thumbs up.

thank you that was a cool video.

Great video! You mention a ton of gold... we're all about that!

Loved it when you said at the end "I do gold mining for a living...not videos" which is why I subscribed. Thanks for all the info and for your sense of humor which you need in this grueling profession. ⛏

You guys always forget the Bonanza creek nugget from Whitney, Oregon. It was found in the late 1800's and weighed 264 pounds. It was reported in the Baker City newspaper.

Unimaginable...good video...stuff that dreams r made of.

Great good on video. I,m surprised we here in the Yukon never had any large nuggets found.

The previous owner of my gold mine once found an 80 lb. quartz boulder. He and his helper crushed it up and panned it out. Yield was 425 ozs. in one day. I learned the story from that helper, now a retired gold mine engineer.

When I was 14 years old 1965 went panning for gold at my dad's friends mine east of Reno I manage to find 10 grams of gold I still have it today and still have the fever 53 years later.

Man, to find a nugget that is over even 1lbs would be awesome!

Thank You for Sharing period six Amazingly Awesome Video ! Please do more videos , I can't wait for you to create a video on Largest Gold Nuggets found in the U.S. , the one's on U.K. , Australia etc are Awesome , but most of us will never be there unless we find a lot of Gold in the U.S. first or hit the lottery Awesome Video and Great Scene of Humor Respectfully Elbert Dulworth

Theres still plenty of nuggets at Bakery hill, there is a McDonald's next to the find site. Even our house was built over a mine shaft in 1977

I think the vids are awesome forsure!!

One of my mining partners found a 14.6 oz nugget just above Galice, Ore.

Missed the Golden Eagle from Larkinville Western Australia 1135oz

Wowzzers thanks for sharing with us

i just saw the description read and the eagle nugg..looking for it on the video.its a nice shape

The biggest single mass of gold (not specimen) that I am aware of was found as a gold slab at the Jundee underground mine in Western Australia (6.7 million ounces production total) weighing in at over 280,000 ounces; 1 metre x 5cm x 15 metres. Over 8.7 metric tons. The Holtermann from NSW was a huge specimen that was part of a reef they hacked out with axes due to its richness. Tiny in comparison.

When I used to live in Africa,Ghana , before moving to Canada, I remember my parents decided to kind of like fill up our lawn with just sand and stones,and honestly no one actually knew where they got the sand and stones from and the guys never told us.... But I remember I used to play with the stones and I swear I dugged up a red-yellowish sparkly stone just like the #8 Brazilian Red lady one time but I was like 5yrs old I didnt know what it was so I left it back in the sand..... When I was 6 they covered the sand with concrete pavements.....Now im 18 and every once a while that stone crosses my mind I dont know why

When you said a tonne of gold was a 14 inch cube I fact checked that and my eyes got even bigger when I found out you were correct.

A close friend of mine found a 14 1/2 oz. nugget on a bench above Galice, Oregon. The Armstrong nugget weighed more than 8 pounds and was found above Susanville, Oregon. and can be seen in the national bank in Baker, Oregon.

Well I’m really impressed. No- no not so much the gold but the fact i didn’t have to listen to some DAM computer/ robot voice. Thanks for the video.

There are still some hidden places known only to locals where good nuggets are found west of Sydney Australia where Holterman and others were found Farmers do it to more then subsidize their income

There's still more out there! Wish I could say there's one in my area!! Man!!

Be nice to find a nugget so big that you want a replica made before melting it down

My middle son went to Montana Tech and there’s a pretty big nugget displayed at the college. Not sure of its weight but it’s big. Back in the 60s some guys stole it from the school but were caught by the Highway Patrol. It wasn’t kept in a secure place back then but it is now!

Yes the monument is cool. My father in law found a 2.2 kg gold nugget. Me my self have not found much out there yet. My biggest is only an ounce and a half. Be out there tomorrow looking again. I think you missed some nuggets here in Australia too. Nice work.. By the way I know kevin hilliers son.

Your video frustrated me at the beginning, as I couldn't tell how big the nuggets were, because there was no scale, or object next to them, to compare... but I enjoyed the video the more it went on.

That's on my bucket list , nuggets !!!!!

I'll take the first one for a Thousand as you said.

Thank you

12:17 A 14x14 inches cube of pure gold would weight a ton .. mind blowing

Moligul is where the Welcome Stranger is from

You left off the football sized chunk found by Felix Pedro. It's on display at the First National Bank of Fairbanks, AK.

You should have a baseball or something included in the pics so we can get a perspective on the size, and shape.

have you heard of the campbell mine whoopper only 13404 grams of course not a nugget , But an actual chunk of gold ore .Red lake ,now Newmont Goldcorp.

Replica of the Welcome Stranger nugget can be seen here. www.gold-net.com.au/archivemagazines/apr20/welcome1.html

That photo proposing to be the welcome stranger is false. The nugget had already been cut up and they did a black and white (as was normal) of the finders gathered around a piece of quartz rock of the same size and roughly the same shape of the nugget.

This is a very cool video

The welcome nugget is called welcome stranger

1200 for 25.000g? How did u calculate this?

Where is maximov ro finding stuff like he does, I've actually wondered if he's spraying stones in gold paint! Maybe! It's probably low grade gold with a high iron content, please check him out. What's your thoughts?

The largest gold Nugget ever found was in Australia in Hottermann Nugget in 1858 total weight was The total weight of the one nugget piece was recorded to be 630 pounds, or roughly 286 kilograms at Hill End, in the state of New South Wales, Australia www.historyofsydney.com.au/the-holtermann-nugget/ Marcus in Sydney Australia

These are just the largest nuggets ever reported. We have no idea if the largest ever was reported. I wouldn't report it. Would you?

You should really have shown how large these pieces are.. you cannot tell if its the size of a hand, or a car.

Here in the philippines, bfore the spaniards came during 15th century there were lots of gold everywhere.. That is why spaniards came to interest philippines for its full of gold everywhere..u dont have to dig so deep to find gold, u just brush with ur hands the soil especially in the riverside and it will appear the gold nuggets..

You guys always miss the big nugget found in Bonanza creek below the Bonanza Mine west of Sumpter and north of Whitney, Oregon . It weighed 264 and 1/2 pounds It was so heavy they had to cut it up in place in the creek bed.

Holterman Gold is actually a holy saint from India that solidified into Gold for a reason but the mystery can be unearthed only from a rare manuscript buried in sands of India.

Ohhhhhh I went to see the hand of Faith in las vegas and it huge and it way 60 pounds

I want one

you completely left out number 6

A 67 pound nugget was found in a mine above Indian Creek, the Klamath River tributary that has its mouth at Happy Camp, Siskiyous County, California. The issue with lists like this is that we don't know what we don't know.

Where is the golden eagle???

Sonhar não custa nada, então vou sonhar um pouco 🤩

Nest time place something beside them to have something to gauge them by!

It’s so weird to think that there are wayyyyy bigger pieces in the world

Worth about $9,500 on todays market.

Why do you think we dont see these in modern time?

Should have mentioned the price when they were found also.

saya sangat mendapatkan ilmu.

Just spray paint a chicken McNugget, and put that on display. Poor man's gold.

I've seen the Hand of Faith

Ahhhh. There's alotta zeros on that thousand dollar peice of gold

Scraps left by the annunaki 💪

Those arent nuggets,they are boulders made of pure gold.

What about the golden eagle WA 1930s.

Thought they'd be worth more honestly

The largest nugget I know of was found in the 1890's in Bonanza creek below the Bonanza mine near Whitney,Ore. It was so big they had to cut it in two pieces with axes and saws. The largest piece weighed 164 pounds.

The ones the where smelted. They not gone. Gold is so heavily traded that it is in everything nice mixture. A wedding band will have some in it. No different than a blood diamond. There all blood diamonds. When u laundry them in.

Golden Beard Media just found a 2700gram nugget. 🤔😂

Who do I contact about my gold nuggets I believe I found some of the largest ones

Top ten.....that we know of...wink,wink

why list them in grams instead of ounces or pounds

They are noy real weighted or to scale

no.8 is twice.

There was a nugget found in Jamestown California that was 203 LBS in the 1800s and another found in Jamestown late 1990s maybe early 2000s that is on display Iornstone Winery that was 45 lbs.

#5 Feo Culo literally means ugly ass. And you hit right on the button without realizing it. 😆

I think you missed one! There was a very big nugget found in the creek above Whitney, Ore. just below the Bonanza mine. It weighed a little over 264 pounds. The men that found it had to cut it up in place because it was too heavy to lift.

6:14 I believe "feo" means ugly, and "culo" means ass, and your exact words seconds later were "(ugly ass) piece of rock" 😂😂😂

1.1 M USD and some change.... I'll take that change....

Golden bhudda is large

I want gold

‘Who owns this one? Nobody, because communism sucks. Now let’s see this nugget of gold that’s in a state owned museum.’

Some of these nuggets,resemble meteorites.
