A nugget of gold found in a river in the Southern Uplands is thought to be the most significant discovery in Scotland in the past 70 years.
The 20 carat golden nugget, which weighed about 18.1g (0.6oz), has an estimated value of £10,000.
It was discovered by a Canadian man during a gold panning course near Wanlockhead in the Lowther Hills.

Probably down to rarity value rather than the actual weight of the gold me thinks topdog - 18.1 grams of 24c gold as scrap is worth £428.25 at this moment in time.topdog wrote:My God the price of gold sure has gone up !!!!

Scotland is now preparing for a PAN-demic.
I used to have an issue regarding having an inferiority complex, I no longer have an issue with being inferior.
