[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 334711, member: 25"]If it is gold it is a good buy. The jewellery trade make gold 'nuggets' by pouring molten gold into sand, so not all gold nuggets are gold nuggets. If tested with an XRF scanner, any reading where the gold content is some exact carat value would be suspect, as would a low carat reading. Genuine gold nuggests will be liable to contain traces of metals never normally found in refined gold alloys.[/QUOTE]
