"A mixture of quartz and gold, the nugget weighs 5.27 troy ounces, but a gravity test at the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology determined its specific gold content was 3.96 troy ounces, Johnson said."

Very cool article but I can't seem to find any updates that show the nugget. Looking at a picture of a cloth bag is kind of a letdown after reading the story.
