The history of gold.....

Sadly, most of the gold nuggets that have been discovered throughout history no longer exist. Gold has been recognized for thousands of years as the ultimate symbol of wealth and prosperity, and many ancient cultures created extravagant art and jewelry by melting down the gold nuggets that they found. The Egyptians, Aztecs, Incas, and Mayans were some of the earliest civilizations that valued the beauty of gold and its amazing ability to be melted and molded. Civilizations throughout the Middle East, Europe and China were pressing gold into coins to be used as currency long before the discovery of the New World.  The Spanish traveled across the globe to seek out the valuable metal and were some of the first Europeans to discover gold in the New World. In the past few centuries, significant gold discoveries have been found throughout the United States, with most of the gold nuggets being pressed into gold bars and coins.

The unfortunate truth is that almost all of the biggest and best quality gold nuggets ever found have not survived to today. Almost all of the gold found throughout history has been melted down and used for jewelry, art, bullion, and currency, leaving very little gold in its natural state. Appreciation for the natural wonder and geologic rarity of gold nuggets has only recently been acknowledged.

Today, natural gold nuggets are very rare and valued items. Fortunately there are still some amazing museum quality gold nuggets out there for the private collector to obtain, and some of them can be found on this very site. So look around and find one to add to your own collection! 

Why invest in gold nuggets?

The simple fact is that gold, just as it has been for thousands of years, will continue to remain a symbol of wealth for the next thousand years. When you hold a gold nugget in your hand, you carry something that will always be recognized for its value and beauty.

There is no doubt that the troubled financial situation that countries around the world find themselves in today only reinforce the importance of collecting precious metals. The price of gold has increased substantially over the past several years, and most experts believe that this trend is only going to continue. Precious metals such as gold increase in price when the value of currencies goes down, and today's financial uncertainty all but ensures that gold will continue to have strong interest for many years to come.

While many choose to invest in bullion, the natural beauty of gold nuggets have an added appeal that can never be matched. Gold coins and bars are man-made, and more gold bullion is stamped out every year. While it certainly has value, it does not have the unique qualities that a natural gold nugget has. No one can ever make a natural gold nugget. And unlike a piece of bullion, gold nuggets are all unique and contain special value as collectors items. Just like a snowflake, no two will ever be exactly the same.

And more important than anything, gold nuggets are really cool, and we know that if you add one to your collection you will love it!!
