Written by Amy Woodyatt, CNNA gold-hunter claims to have found the UK's largest gold nugget, weighing a hefty 121.3 grams (4.28 ounces), in a Scottish river. If proven to be from Scotland, the precious metal would usurp the "Douglas Nugget," weighing 85.7 grams and found in 2016, as the largest gold nugget found in the UK. Palmer, author of "Gold Occurrences in the UK: A Gold Prospector's Guide," told CNN that the pieces seemed to come from the same lump of gold. Palmer, who is not involved in the sale of gold, told CNN that he hoped the nugget would be exhibited in London's Natural History Museum, or the National Museum of Scotland. "You could say it's priceless," Palmer told CNN.
