294.10 Troy Ounces found in 1998 in Alaska by Barry Clay. Richard L. Burton III
The largest single piece of gold ever found is the "Welcome Stranger" nugget, discovered in Australia in 1869. It weighed 2,520 troy ounces (78 kilograms) and measured approximately 24 inches in length.
When found 'native' it is a gold nuggett When provessed into a shape and purified it is an ingot.
No blood is found in gold... gold is a metal... metals don't bleed.

The initials K.P. when found on a piece of gold jewelry indicate that the piece of jewelry is not one hundred percent gold, but only plated with gold. K.P. stands for "karat plate."
The gold Hargraves found (which was actually found by John Lister) was not named. It was just a few specks of payable gold, large enough to gain the attention of the government.
It depends solely on the piece- 800 could be 800/1000 silver or 800/1000 gold- If the piece is silver, it's likely an older European piece.. If the piece is gold it's likely French 19k gold (EXTREMELY uncommon, but still can be found today.)
