TWO LARGE GOLD NUGGETS. Two nice gold nuggets from Rich Hill, Arizona, they weigh a combined 4.04 troy ounces. Rich Hill is one of the most famous gold nugget sites in all of Arizona. A tertiary (fossil) gold-bearing gravel bed once stretched across the current topography which is now eroded away. The top of Rich Hill was called "potato patch" because of all the nuggets they found there which were the erosional remnants of the old gravel bed. There is mining continuing there today. The nuggets measure 1 3/4 " and 2" respectively.
Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000.

 
Realized $4,255
