Famous Gold Nuggets
 
 The Spondulix gold nugget

 This nugget was found during November 1872 in Eureka Gully, which is part of the Jordan’s gold field, between Berlin and Wehla, Victoria.


The Spondulix gold nugget

 It was found by Wilton and party and weighed in at 155 ounces, measured 17 by 16 by 5 centimetres. It was also associated with some quartz and ironstone. 

 
 
The troy system is used to measure weights of precious metals such as gold, and has units of ounces, pennyweights and grains. A troy ounce contains 20 pennyweights and 1 pennyweight contains 24 grains. One troy ounce is equivalent to 31.1 grams in the metric system.
