Gold Nuggets

While the occurence of gold in one form or another is relatively common in many countries across the world, the fact remains, that the finding of an actual gold nugget, is virtually unheard of in most of these countries. Most reported gold nugget finds have been confined to the following countries, - Australia, Africa, Bolivia, Canada, Hungary, New Guinea, Russia, United States of America, and Wales. It has been claimed that today, the unearthing of a 1 ounce gold nugget is a rarer find than a 5 carat diamond, with the fact being, that genuine gold nuggets are now becoming even rarer and harder to find.
