Huge gold nugget going up for sale in California
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — One of the biggest gold nuggets found in modern times in Northern California's historic Gold Country is going up for sale.
Weighing in at 6.07 pounds, the Butte Nugget is expected to carry a price tag of $350,000.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported Wednesday (http://bit.ly/1sNy00B ) that the nugget's finder asked dealer Don Kagin to keep his name and the location of the discovery secret.
What's known is that a gold hunter found it in July on public land in the Butte County mountains. Prospecting for gold is legal on most public lands in the state.
