Depends on the character of the nugget and the locale. Smaller placer nuggets (no insult intended) will usually bring 80% to 100% spot gold price (total weight of the nugget without regard to gold content). They will get resold to collectors for some percentage above that. Does it have quartz inclusions? Nuggets larger than a couple penny weight start to bring higher prices usually.Can any one tell me what a 2.44 grams gold nugget would be worth thanks Matt
Lodged in a chunk of quartz..did they at least crush/pan it?I wonder how much it would of fetched if he left it in the nice quartz rock where he found it ? I told him leave it there. Photo of stone with nugget.
He did not crush it but did clean the nooks out good and found 2 little pickers, he then ran his detector over it with no signal. If there is more gold inside it would his detector pick that up ? thanks IMAUDIGGER.Lodged in a chunk of quartz..did they at least crush/pan it?
A nugget can be a collectors item so the price it is sold at could be more than it's gold value at current gold prices. Note: No natural gold nugget is pure gold but most are close to or over 90% pure.
