You could probably buy two packs of printer ink with that thing!
The largest gold nugget found in Scotland in more than 400 years has gone on display in a public collection.
The “Douglas” gold nugget weighs 85 grams (three ounces) and was found in a river in Perthshire in 2017.
Due to its geological and cultural importance, it was felt important to preserve it in a public collection, and it is now on display at the Hunterian Museum, University of Glasgow.
The nugget is named after the finder, who otherwise wishes to remain anonymous.
That’s nothing compared to the nuggets I dropped the other night.
So how big is it? Where is the banana for scale?
Not a patch on my nugget of purest Green.
Finders keepers. I would have taken that straight down to the pawn shop
I’ve found bigger.
where is the banana for scale?
Found some similar size in my bowl the other morning 😅
Ahh cheers for finding it mate, i dropped that the other day. 😏
Largest ‘recorded’ gold nugget ever found in the UK!
So is it the size of a 5p, or the size of a Mini Cooper?
we’re in desperate need of a banana here.
Needs a banana for perspective.
But what’s its value in Bitcoin?
Put it in a bowl, pour some milk on it.
Well, thanks for giving us some kind of idea of scale.
Is 5ft across or 5mm? 🤔😏🙄
Today I learned UK has gold deposits
Precious
If this was in Perthshire, did the owner walk away empty handed since it belongs to the Crown?
Needs a banana for scale
Sh1t I dropped me gold. If I send you my address, can you send it back? Pretty please? Please 🙏 🤣
That’s about the size of our nations gold reserves isn’t it after labour sold it all.
