Who got the biggest piece of gold in the gold rush?

It is not recorded as to who found the biggest piece of gold in the California Gold Rush.In the Australian gold rushes, the largest nugget was the "Welcome Stranger", discovered by John Deason and Richard Oates at Moliagul in western Victoria, in 1869. It measured 61 cm by 31 cm and weighed 2316 troy ounces or 72.04 kg.Larger than this is the Beyers and Holtermann nugget, the largest single piece of reef gold ever discovered in the world. The Beyers and Holtermann nugget was, strictly speaking, not a nugget, but what is called a matrix. Weighing in around 286 kilograms(about 630 pounds), it measured 150cm by 66cm, and was worth at least £12,000 at the time it was discovered, in October 1872. It was discovered by workers at the Star of Hope Gold Mining Co on Hawkins Hill, at the Hill End goldfields in New South Wales, Australia.
