Some treasures are found by chance, others by treasure hunters. Treasure hunter Richard Brock discovered a large gold nugget in England, weighing just under 65 grams. The second largest gold nugget is the Welcome Stranger Nugget, found in 1869 in Australia by two miners from Cornwall in the goldfields of Victoria. It weighed 72 kilograms. In September 2018, miners at the Beta Hunt Mine in Australia found an even larger one. It weighed 95 kilograms. It is said to contain almost 2,400 ounces of pure gold and has no name. In third place is the Welcome Nugget, which shines with almost 70 kilograms of pure gold, just over 2,200 ounces. It was found in 1858, also in Australia. The fourth largest also came from down under. In fifth place is the Canaã nugget, found in 1983 in the Serra Pelada mine, Brazil, and weighing in at 52.33 kilograms of pure gold. Unlike the aforementioned nuggets, it was not melted down but is on public display.

Oversized nuggets were mostly discovered in Australia. In Brazil, there was a gold rush in the Amazon region in the early 1980s, which led to the discovery of some considerable nuggets. A gold nugget containing 711 ounces of gold was also found in California in 1859. The fascination with gold will never end. And the value-preserving function that gold has demonstrated over a very long period of time is highly prized by investors. At more than 2,950 US dollars per ounce, the price of gold continues to rise. In addition to physical gold, gold stocks such as Calibre Mining or Goldshore Resources can also be a lucrative investment for investors.
