Cool stuff, some natural gold nuggets, are to cool to refine or melt down. Better left in their natural state, and the were probably, in that state, for millions of years
Yeah they are very special, we had some monster nuggets found in the 1800's in Australia but most of them were chopped up and melted down. It's a big loss to mankind but in the old days they didn't really care about the future significance of what they had found, cheers.
I wouldn't mind finding a few of those in my backyard!
We do in Australia my friend, Lol I wish, we do still find quite a few here in Aus but not as big as the first one, cheers.

That's a massive nugget, the Golden Eagle.
Sure is, it's very flat and wide which makes it very unusual agaupt, thanks for the visit, cheers.
Love the queen Victoria nugget, thank you for this post.
This is the real Australian dream... walking outside and finding a big gold nugget. Not signing yourself up for a million dollar mortgage.

It's a pretty cool looking nugget that's for sure, but I would prefer the Golden Eagle in my pocket any day, Lol cheers.
Quite interesting. The nugget of the first photo is quite impressive.
I see that Australia has many mining museums.
Yes we do, Australia is virtually one big mine, Lol cheers.
