27 OUNCE Montana Gold Nugget Found! Huge Chunk of Placer Gold

www.raregoldnug... The Highland Centennial Nugget is a 27.5 troy ounce piece of solid gold that was found south of Butte, Montana.
It is one of the largest nuggets ever found in Montana.
It is currently on display at the Mineral Museum at Montana Tech in Butte (safely housed in a BIG SAFE). There are lots of other really nice mineral specimens worth checking out if you are in the area.

Nice to see an impressive nugget being displayed, and not melted down, as so many of the older finds were. I wouldn't mind tripping over one like this.

lovingcousin1 in today's world of metals, the value of nice nuggets can be considerably greater than the gold contained within; and thankfully so.

It was in an old tailings pile. The same tailings had been ran 3 times previously but Mark Stratton installed riffles between the feed box and drum on their trommel and they started recovering bigger pieces of gold. The Stratton family were forced off of the land they had lived on for 3 generations by the federal government a few years after finding this nugget.

Placer is pronounced more like the word _placenta_ than the word _place._ What a find though.
