Wow great nugget! Correct me if I'm wrong though... I'm not familiar with the east coast but umm... Gold?...placer gold? In Rhode Island? Or is this some sort of gold slag? Or maybe washed up from a ship fire? Crazy. Crazy awesome!

Good Lord guy...that's a honker for sure! Have any estimate as to it's value yet? Was this someone's lost nugget or does your state normally produce gold? Congrats!!!

THERE ARE SOME GOLD DEPOSITS AROUND R.I. BUT I DONT THINK THEY WERE ENUFF TO COMMERCIALLY MINE,BUT THIS NUGGET IS UNUSUAL TO THE AREA IT COULD HAVE COME FROM AN OLD SHIP OR SOMETHING R.I. HAS BEEN KNOW TO SPIT GOLD COINS AND OTHER STUFF AFTER A GOOD NOREASTER AND WE HAD HISTORY MAKING STORMS OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS THE BEACHS ARE DOWN TO THE BOTTOM NOT MUCH SAND JUST SMALL ROCKS
