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 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 .
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.
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!
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.
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 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.
I can dig it,I'm into metal detecting,have some awesome finds, cannonball,and musket balls.but did find a Lady's wedding band, made in chekoslavakia .10k gold.
I did indeed! I hadn't heard of that one until now; thanks for bringing it to my attention. It would be #7 on the list. You Aussie's have more gold than y'all can shake a stick at.
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.
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
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.
Ty was your uncle? This the same nugget found in the El Paso Mountains with a metal detector that came in at 13 pounds? If so I got to hold it when it was stashed at a ranch east of Clovis California before it was sold. Got to hold the piece the broke off when it was found also. Lots of 1 pounders came out of area also. Dry washers would've had a fit if they had known what they left behind.
I’ve seen the one at the Gold Nugget,it’s displayed with watch chains, watch’s etc. is said to have been found in Australia behind a mobile home just inches under the surface!
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.
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
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
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?
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.
Felix Pedro found the first discovery of gold in Alaska. He started the gold rush of 1898. The nugget is mounted under glass in the lobby of the First National Bank downtown Fairbanks. Can't miss it and its guarded by the largest griz you ever saw. The nugget has the basic shape of a football but is jagged. Very historic nugget.
Rick Nudelman I was able to find plenty about the man himself, but nothing really on that nugget. I did find that they're closing that branch of the bank next month. Anything else you can tell me about it? I'm going to put together a video for the biggest in the US in the future...
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. ⛏
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!
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
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..
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We have a mine we're rehabbing right now to open her back up. Its why I haven't posted many videos lately. The overburden we have to dig out to reach the buried portal is full of gold. We've been finding "pickers" up to a gram in the dirt and several pieces lying on top of the ground. We've been digging into that hillside since March and still haven't made it to the portal.
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.
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.
Gold prospectors and gold miners generally refer to their gold in grams. Assays come back in ounces per ton, and gold mining companies report in ounces per ton produced. Those same major and super majors will also refer to the value of their ore in grams per ton.
Liberty Cave not really. Out of the thousands of prospectors and miners I've spoken with, only a few ever mentioned pennyweights or dimeweights. That runs the gammut from retired miners who worked for one of the super majors like Freeport or BHP-Billiton to the occassional weekend drywasher.
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.

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

Ive seen the replica of the Welcome Nugget. Interesting enough at the time that this was found my distant relatives was living in ballarat.
Good video, very informative, easy lotening and a human voice!..thumbs up.

Out at the Patch? 😉
Missed the Golden Eagle from Larkinville Western Australia 1135oz
I did indeed! I hadn't heard of that one until now; thanks for bringing it to my attention. It would be #7 on the list. You Aussie's have more gold than y'all can shake a stick at.

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

U can go back and verify
Cos now we have modern way searching for gold like detecting
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.
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.
Ty was your uncle? This the same nugget found in the El Paso Mountains with a metal detector that came in at 13 pounds?

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

What about the Fricot nugget and the Ironstone in Murphys?
I subscribed just because of what you’ve said the last seconds of the video. Well said 12:50 lol
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.
Thnks for people around me so I can't turn volume on thanks to ppl then

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

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.
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.
One of my mining partners found a 14.6 oz nugget just above Galice, Ore.
Be nice to find a nugget so big that you want a replica made before melting it down
You left off the football sized chunk found by Felix Pedro. It's on display
at the First National Bank of Fairbanks, AK.
I did a bit of hunting around and I can't find anything about a specific large nugget associated with him. Any more information you can give me on it?
Felix Pedro found the first discovery of gold in Alaska. He started the gold rush of 1898. The nugget is mounted under glass in the lobby of the First National Bank downtown Fairbanks. Can't miss it and its guarded by the largest griz you ever saw. The nugget has the basic shape of a football but is jagged. Very historic nugget.

Man, to find a nugget that is over even 1lbs would be awesome!
Wandering Buffalos Prospecting I'd need a new pair of pants or a cattle prod to restart my heart beating
@Sound Money You could retire on 20 grand? It'd be amazing to find for sure. But to retire on is crazy

Send me samples
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.
You should have a baseball or something included in the pics so we can get a perspective on the size, and shape.
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?
Replica of the Welcome Stranger nugget can be seen here. www.gold-net.com.au/archivemagazines/apr20/welcome1.html
Thank you
Great video! You mention a ton of gold... we're all about that!
I'll take the first one for a Thousand as you said.
hell yeah lol
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.
u can also make it from the head part which looks like saint... and body covered with thick cloth.
Awesome video thanks for sharing it with us
i just saw the description read and the eagle nugg..looking for it on the video.its a nice shape
You should really have shown how large these pieces are.. you cannot tell if its the size of a hand, or a car.
Thanks for sharing life with enthusiasm
Great good on video. I,m surprised we here in the Yukon never had any large nuggets found.
Because 2 mile high ice shelfs ran over it and turned it to dust
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
Nest time place something beside them to have something to gauge them by!
Those arent nuggets,they are boulders made of pure gold.
Why do you think we dont see these in modern time?
Just spray paint a chicken McNugget, and put that on display. Poor man's gold.
Moligul is where the Welcome Stranger is from
1200 for 25.000g? How did u calculate this?
Adrian Bucur I thought that and read comments and your the only one who noticed that. He defo got that wrong lol
I think the vids are awesome forsure!!
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.
Liberty Cave have any links or such that I can research it? It'll come in very handy for a revised video and the biggest found in the US.
6:14 I believe "feo" means ugly, and "culo" means ass, and your exact words seconds later were "(ugly ass) piece of rock" 😂😂😂
It’s so weird to think that there are wayyyyy bigger pieces in the world
thank you that was a cool video.
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.
That's on my bucket list , nuggets !!!!!

There's still more out there! Wish I could say there's one in my area!!
Man!!
If I ever find one, it'll be easy to spot. Look for the buzzards circling over my corpse because I'll have a heart attack for sure.
Well put. Think I'm going to get some nitro pills, Just In Case!!
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.
The welcome nugget is called welcome stranger
Scraps left by the annunaki 💪
😉
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.
Thought they'd be worth more honestly
What about the golden eagle WA 1930s.
#5 Feo Culo literally means ugly ass. And you hit right on the button without realizing it. 😆
Where is the golden eagle???
Should have mentioned the price when they were found also.
Who do I contact about my gold nuggets I believe I found some of the largest ones
‘Who owns this one? Nobody, because communism sucks. Now let’s see this nugget of gold that’s in a state owned museum.’
Worth about $9,500 on todays market.
you completely left out number 6
no.8 is twice.
Ahhhh. There's alotta zeros on that thousand dollar peice of gold
why list them in grams instead of ounces or pounds
Gold prospectors and gold miners generally refer to their gold in grams. Assays come back in ounces per ton, and gold mining companies report in ounces per ton produced. Those same major and super majors will also refer to the value of their ore in grams per ton.
Prospectors talk in Pennyweights
