That is the largest nugget I've seen come out of North America for a long time. I have dug and panned for gold for over 40 years and the biggest nugget I've ever found weighed just a little over 7 ounces with most everything else being under a ounce and lots of dust. That's a once in a lifetime find my friend, enjoy it and don't sell it by the weight, there are lots of collectors out there that will pay double and maybe triple the worth in weight to add it to their collection
7 ounce nugget is still a huge nugget congrats would love to find even a couple gram nugget saddly all ive ever found is fly poop and one or to decant flakes
Hey what state or area did you find that nugget?.. I panned here and there on east coast gold veins.. I live in Baltimore and there is gold here County & city just got to know what sediment streams to go.. GOLDBORO , VA or near there me & my father would pan.. but best areas where in MD near Washington dc.. Montgomery County..near Great Falls.. my father found a Placier nug.. on tip of his shovel.. have size of a dime. Potomac falls has such great Bedrock wedges loaded with quartz black sand.. but tKes alot of work & time.. and lil luck. The government cleaned almost all gold out ending around the late 1920s if I remember.
I live in West Virginia on the Maryland border I'm 1 minute from Maryland and I'm only 30 minutes from Virginia and only 15 minutes from Pennsylvania. I would love to start looking for gold but I know nothing about it. Idk where to start but I would have to say I live by some good spots. Does anyone have any ideas where I should go near me. I think Harper's Ferry West Virginia would be a good place to go. It's only 30 minutes from me.
*15 ounces is 425 grams. It's almost $100 CAD for every 1 gram of gold nugget in British Columbia. So, this is actually closest to $40,000 CAD on the B.C. market.*
I haven't been seeing a lot of your shorts during my scrolling adventures. Glad to see you're still getting out there so I don't have to. I work outside so im indoors being lazy any chance i can get.
What's funny is that by today's standards, it's a huge nugget! However, in 1799, when the first documented discovery of gold in North America happened, it was a 17 pound nugget that started it. A few years later, on the same property, even larger nuggets were found.
Think about how many millions of years have passed, billions of animals that have crept over, seasons that have rained and struck over this small piece of metal that traveled through such high temperatures... just to give this guy a beautiful smile on his face.
The "metric SHIT ton" is 1000 Kg = 1000 Liter Water and provide a good handling calculation May you using yards still to increase numbers ! Just under 15 ounces... means app 460 g The brit. and americ. pound = 453 g The brit . and americ. pharmacy pound =373 g The metric pound 500 g = 1/2 Kilogramm You guys are pretty good in fraction calculation ......I guess I prefer with Gold Ounces too ,- and in reloading Grains ...... but all the other stuff .... archaic By tge way ... nice nugget !
Respect for having Mint teeth. Keep taking care of them like you do, and in another 40 years when you're 90, you'll still have em all in that condition :P
Fifteen ounces of GOLD is much heavier than the same 15 ounces of hamburger. This is because gold is weighed in troy ounce which are 31.103 grams (close to) whereas hamburger is only 28.3564 grams per ounce!
Regardless an ounce is an ounce weather you weigh they in standard ounces or troy ounces they would be the same weight. So 15 ounces of hamburger would weigh exactly the same as 15 ounces of gold you are comparing 2 different weight measurements that apples and oranges
You sound like my gym trainer who said a pound of fat weighs more than a pound of muscle. A pound is a pound an ounce is an ounce, but some objects are more dense than others.❤
The old prospector chomp trick passed down through generations. Secretly have you teeth sharpened and grind off some of that sweet gold doing a bite test. Fools em every time 😂
Forget it, everywhere is loaded already with fool gold diggers, no longer the American dream, everywhere overpopulated and stinks. Better off to figure out what humanity needs where you are and sell it!
Just looking at that extraordinary nugget immediately makes you realize why they call it "gold fever". This is what happened in the Klondike and all the famous gold rushes of history, when nuggets like these inspired thousands of gold-crazed people to flock to the places where these were first discovered.
It’s worth more than its weight just because of the pure size and shape being a prime specimen of a nugget A guy recently found a nugget in California washed out of a hillside that was very large
Remember that these kind of nuggets are never melted, is more valuable as it is for collectors, nuggets that size are pretty rare specimens, you can maybe make double it's gold price and sometimes even more like triple the price
Heh. Here’s a fun fact about the history of precious metals: Aluminum was considered MORE valuable than gold over 100 years ago, even though it is a very common element in earth’s crust, because nobody had any idea for most of history on how to efficiently extract it en mass from various soils & stones until new smelting techniques were developed in the 1920s. Prior to that, the only way to get pure aluminum was by finding nuggets or veins of naturally pure ore, & those ARE extremely rare, usually in certain basaltic environments like Devil’s Tower. Prior to the new smelting techniques, there were greedy entrepreneurs who looked to the tower very hungrily because it may be the richest potential source of naturally pure aluminum in the world. Fortunately, it is now literally as cheap as the dirt it’s extracted from.
15 ounces of pure gold would completely change my life right now. Congrats to that person.
It's worth more than that nuggets that size are becoming more and more rare
@@infernaldaedraprobably worth about $40,000
Me too ... times are tough.
Absolutely, no doubt worth alot of money but I'd say whoever found it probably put alot of time and work in
That's a keeper
For those wondering. Spot price would be like 30k but specimen value would be huge. Probably anywhere from 50-100k to the right person or even more!
was just about to comment nearly an identical comment, im talking content, sentence structure, numbers and punctuation. crazy haha are you my internet mirror? am i yours ? am i just an echo ? a ghost ?
I would pay $40.000
Market price is WAY too low for gold
50k to 100k for what ?

@@andrewbuckler8319 I would say just find a nice creek and just start test panning in good looking spots
Value added for size. $34k in weight, probably get 45-50 for it, maybe more.
That's no nugget, that's a whole chicken tender!
Facts its def grocery store tendie size
Would you like a chicken strip? ‘Frankly I’ve never seen a chicken wear clothes’

No

Is that troy ounces or a standard ounce?
Also you profile pic..... 😂
What and where is B.C.
@@samthomas2804 British Columbia. A province in Canada. It is similar to what would be a state in the US.

Daaaaaamn Daniel, back at it again with the green Pan! 😅
That’s great congratulations
Specimen value should far exceed spot value. Very cool!
It will

It’s about 28,000 $ just in weight
No doubt, by a lot.
That is a once in a lifetime find!! Congratulations✨😍
Once in 10 life times✌🏻👍😊
Great clouds of buggy dust!!! Look at that behemoth of a nugget! It's heavy
Not here in kalgoorlie, Western Australia.

Nowadays and as far as placer gold goes I’m pretty sure that monster qualifies as a metric shit ton
The "metric SHIT ton" is 1000 Kg = 1000 Liter Water and provide a good handling calculation

By tge way ... nice nugget !
@@rigel11761 pound = 16 oz.
15 0z is around 425 grams.
I'm glad you answered that question
.I was going to ask how much does a ton of shit weigh
Man that's a blessing so nice almost a pound of gold in ya hand.
Gold is weighed in Troy ounces. So 15 Troy ounces = 1 Troy pound and 3 Troy ounces

That’s really funny. 😂
Dan will probably purchase it. He does that often. Buys gold from friends who find, to sell in his store. That is really beautiful.😊
Now that's a true prospector right there, he's got the beard, the hat, and he bit the nugget. That's surreal
Your persona is wholesome. Glad to have a fairytale come true😅👍🏾
Dream Find right there 👍👍
‘Bout make me bum rush for gold.
It wouldn't feel weirdly heavy to us Sturgeon fisherman as we're slinging 20oz+ of lead out there regularly, haha.
Was not expecting that guy yet expected it this entire time

*Bites and bends solid gold coin. "Who you tryna fool partna??*"
That’s big $$$$$ gold value it’s $28,860 then add that it’s a solid nugget. Your talking $50,000+ in his hand. 😅
$32,000+ wow. And then the value of a rare nugget like that. It’s gotta be incredible.
"Thanks bro, appreciate it"
*Proceeds to walk off with it*
I absolutely love your vids keep it goin bud
That's by far one of the bigger nuggets I've seen on this channel. Roughly 15oz? That's about $30,000 of gold there
More thats a collection peice it wont go by the gold wight
Single nuggets 1 oz and up are incredibly rare and the price goes up accordingly. Mineral collectors pay way more than gold weight for such specimens
Feels so heavy because Gold is a very dense metal. Similar to how Tungsten is very dense. Density usually equals a greater weight to the metal.
I don’t think anyone was confused about this. Lol
Lmao you look like the guy straight out of the “where’s the gold” slot game 😂
Dan's my favorite gold nugget channel.👍👍👍👍👍
YOU PANNED THAT!??!
🤯👍🏻🖤👏🏻😆🤙🏻
River gold. You can see how smooth the edges are from running water. The movie “Gold” covers this and it was a true story from the 1980’s.
Fun Fact: A ton (2000 pounds) of gold would be 12"x12"x14". Very dense. For comparison, a 12" cube of iron is only 491 pounds.
Did you mean to say inches or feet?

Congratulations Dan!

Gold nugget that size is priceless
I'll buy that for a dollar 💵.😁😁😁😁👍💯🐟👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋

"Wow that's heavy." 🏃♂️💨 😂
This man actually became a prospector, gotta respect that. Nugget!!!😂
That is an amazing, once in a lifetime find! Wow indeed! 😮😊
That guy looks like the text book definition of a gold miner.
CRIP originally stood for “Community Revolution in Progress “ in the late 60’s when it started. That’s what I have always heard.
This is what a real piece of gold looks like, congratulations my friend, good luck.
The guy biting it looks exactly like what I personally would imagine a gold rush miner to look like
I wish! Amazing score. Keep on keeping on
Ya got more than a Nugget dude👍🤓👍...big shiny ✨ congrats 👏✨
I am so glad this guy looks exactly like a prospector should
Congratulations! What a find!
Its funny how we attributed so much value to rocks.
"You're training for years, 100%". Bro knew something was up....😂😂😂 Anatoly never breaks character!
That guy doing a Groucho Mark's routine with his golden Havana has gold fever obviously.
Geeze that's good nugget of gold. If my math is correct that's probably around $30k-$33k because gold is valued at about $2,100-$2,200 per oz.
Congrats gentleman! That gold fever is never matched by anything, can't wait till I get to finding those big boys🤘🏽
Dan Hurd. I love you dude. You produce videos I love to watch. Thank you!
Bro looked exactly like he was supposed to look like spelunker Headass 😂
So happy for you!!!! Well done!♥️
That is a gold nugget, I couldn't imagine finding one that size, but in the past that size was probably more common.
It’s worth more than its weight just because of the pure size and shape being a prime specimen of a nugget
A guy recently found a nugget in California washed out of a hillside that was very large
Absolutely amazing. Straight from space. A distant visitor from a LONG LONG time ago.
What an amazing find. I genuinely might just dedicate the rest of my life to panning for gold.
“Looks like you found me some gold!”
Dude’s just walking around with a $30,000 rock.
That last guy got s chuckle out of me.
Looks like something you’ll find in the finest taco bell restaurant bathroom
What's crazy is that he looks just like the prospector in Red Dead 2. You better run if you see someone running up on horseback!
He looks exactly like the kind of guy that would find a huge nugget lol
Honest worker for turning it in
Remember that these kind of nuggets are never melted, is more valuable as it is for collectors, nuggets that size are pretty rare specimens, you can maybe make double it's gold price and sometimes even more like triple the price
He looks just like the guy on the scratcher tickets. How hilarious 🤑 🤣 🤣 🤣
This man just found the price of a new car in the dirt. Lucky son of a gun.
It's beautiful. i'm so glad somebody found it
That is a really nice specimen congratulations🎉
That's practically a museum peice! You should take a casting of it before doing whatever ya do.
Gold is presently $2,100 per ounce. That's a $31,000 nugget.
More to collector
That is amazing! I never knew that were super sized like that.. All I've ever seen are little flecks in a pan! 😮
I could never be lucky enough to find almost a pound of gold.
Bro at the end definitely played in lord of the rings
I wish..... 15 oz of gold like that could change my life.
You can make a spaceship radiation proof w that !
It's brass. My father would make and sell these as novelty items.
Old Tom Bombadil is indeed a merry fellow.

Wow, what a gold nugget. That's amazing. It's about $33,000 right there. That's an awesome find. 👌🏼
Nice find! Congrats 😊
Wow! I didn’t know you can find them that big!
Heh. Here’s a fun fact about the history of precious metals:
Aluminum was considered MORE valuable than gold over 100 years ago, even though it is a very common element in earth’s crust, because nobody had any idea for most of history on how to efficiently extract it en mass from various soils & stones until new smelting techniques were developed in the 1920s.
Prior to that, the only way to get pure aluminum was by finding nuggets or veins of naturally pure ore, & those ARE extremely rare, usually in certain basaltic environments like Devil’s Tower. Prior to the new smelting techniques, there were greedy entrepreneurs who looked to the tower very hungrily because it may be the richest potential source of naturally pure aluminum in the world. Fortunately, it is now literally as cheap as the dirt it’s extracted from.
