Gold nuggets usually are reported to come in smaller sizes, and since the Gold Rush this is a very large discovery. Sanders believes there is more where that came from after surveying the land.
Local jeweler Terry Mohr hadn’t seen the nugget, but was impressed nonetheless at the reported size, which he said would make it worth well over $100,000.
“I’ve been doing gold nugget jewelry for over 30 years and I don’t know as I’ve heard of a nugget that size being found in this area in all the time I’ve been involved,” Mohr said.
