A treasure hunter struggling with faulty equipment has unearthed a gold nugget believed to be the largest ever found in England.
Richard Brock discovered the gold nugget, weighing 64.8 grams , in the country’s Shropshire Hills near the border with Wales, auction house Mullock Jones said Thursday.The find, nicknamed Hiro’s Nugget, has an estimated worth of between £30,000 and £40,000 , according to Shropshire-based Mullock Jones, which is handling the sale.
“It just goes to show that it doesn’t really matter what equipment you use, if you are walking over the find and are alert enough to what might be lurking underneath the soil, that makes all the difference,” Brock said in the release. “The site does contain an old road/ railway line and has remnants of Welsh stone within,” auctioneer Jones said, adding: “So a variety of possibilities of how it made it there.”Although Hiro’s Nugget is believed to be the largest discovered so far in England, several previous finds in other parts of the United Kingdom dwarf it in size.Immigration Minister Marc Miller says for the first time, Canada will set targets for the number of new temporary resident arrivals to the country.
