This original newspaper contains a front page report of a 160 pound gold nugget found during the California gold rush. This was the CARSON HLL NUGGET, the largest single gold nugget ever found anywhere in the world in all of history !!! Many large and spectacular fragments of native gold have been found in California. Most of these were taken during the gold rush and contributed further to the excitement in the mining camps and "stampedes" to the various "diggings". Few of these nuggets exist today; most were melted down soon after they were discovered. Although the term "nugget" is technically restricted to water-worn gold fragments in alluvial deposits, it frequently is used to describe chunks of vein gold not far removed from the point of origin. It is not used to describe high-grade "pockets" or small but rich ore shoots-these are listed in the next section. The largest piece of native gold that is believed to have been found in California was the 195-pound mass taken at Carson Hill in 1854. Very good condition. This listing includes the complete entire original newspaper, NOT just a clipping or a page of it. STEPHEN A.
