Chinese herdsman stumbles onto a 17-pound gold nugget

Although I wonder if the interior is really tungsten.

    Counterfeit....


    That farmer has the cleanest hands/nails that I've ever seen on a working man.

    Notice it says a nugget "like this one" and it's watermarked shutterstock.com so it's not the real one.

    that is the strangest looking surface for a nugget i've ever seen
    it does not look natural at all
    i've seen and studied some very rare natural states of gold too
    at the carson city nugget's "gold nugget collection"
    (i advise anyone going to the carson city mint to venture catty-corner to the mint to see this gold nugget collection on free public display)

    this one would have to be melted to verify it...if you ask me
    everything in life is but merely on loan to us by our appreciation....lose your appreciation and see

    A rock and a can of spray paint is all the Chinese need to sell on eBay

    Fake.
    When in doubt, don't.
  • It states right in the article that they are not sure of the image being correct. Here is a better pic of the nugget.
