Scottish Highlands Gold Large 'Picker' Nuggets, 2015 - 0.752g

From the private collection of Robert Smith, painstakingly accrued during the last decade of hunting for Scotland's gold.  Robert has been known to Two Skies for several years, and we consider that he is currently Scotland's most successful gold prospector.  His preferred method is bedrock sniping, which he undertakes during the summer months. Robert works within the regulations required from the landowners and is fully licensed for gold panning.

In gold prospecting, a "picker" is a naturally occurring gold nugget that's big enough to be picked up with your fingers – no need for a gold pan! These small, solid pieces of gold are typically found in rivers or streams and are prized for their unique shapes and natural beauty. Each picker is completely one-of-a-kind, making it a wonderful addition for collectors or anyone looking for a special piece of Scotland’s natural gold heritage.

Our gold has been left in a natural state, which includes a sometimes dull patina. However if you would like us to give the gold a quick chemical dip to make it shine its best post-purchase, please just let us know. Please note that unfortunately we will not be able to do this prior to an unconfirmed purchase, as we cannot re-patina the gold once it has been removed.
