The Largest Gold Deposit
Even the biggest gold nuggets would look like marbles in front of the great gold nugget that was discovered in 1869. This one weighed at 173 pounds, yes you read that right! Pounds, not ounces. The great gold nugget was entitled as the ‘Welcome Stranger’ and it still remains the largest gold nugget to have ever been discovered. Although this great discovery happened hundreds of years ago, the golden triangle would soon make the headlines again.
