Gold Nugget Found In England

gold nugget found in UK
One of our UK subscribers (Stuart) sent in this info on a beautiful gold nugget find when out coin hunting:
I have found a 5 gram nugget of Crystalline Gold.
I found it two days ago on a friend’s farm in the UK, as far as I know gold is extremely rare in England (Manchester) and it’s possible that more will be buried deep on this land. My piece was found about 6 inches deep; it is in the shape of a ‘seated dog’ and has about 90% gold to 10% crystals. It is not worn and the detail is superb and overall is very attractive.
Area is North West UK, machine is a Minelab Explorer.
The gold is thumb nail size and weighs 5gram.
Regards Stuart

The gold may have eroded out in place or very close to spot found. I suggest investigating further.
