Huge gold nugget found

A gold nugget that could be the largest ever found in England was recently put up for auction. Metal detectorist Richard Brock discovered the nugget on farmland during an organised expedition in Shropshire last year.

Brock said he didn’t have the best start to the day, as he arrived an hour late to the event and then the old metal detector he used wasn’t working properly. At first, all he found was a few old tent pegs, but he soon struck gold.
