The second largest gold nugget in the world was found in Sovereign Hill. There is still gold there, although not as many people dig for gold as used to.

Where to dig gold?

Gold is typically found underground in veins or nuggets in areas known for their geological gold deposits, such as in rivers, streams, and mountains. To dig for gold, it is best to research and seek permissions from private landowners or use designated mining areas open to the public to avoid trespassing or breaking the law. Joining a local prospecting club or contacting a mining association may also provide guidance on where and how to legally dig for gold.

How much is a 1937 gold half soverigen worth?

A sovereign contains roughly 0.2388 troy ounces of gold. At the current gold price, £1092.40 per troy ounce, you are looking at a value of around £260. Most gold sovereigns sell for around that on ebay. A half sovereign is obviously worth half of that: £130. If you mean purchasing power, I can't be sure but I believe a half sovereign would be the equivalent of around £75 by today's standards. I was looking myself for information on the purchasing power specifically, but the closest approximation I can find compares the value of a 1895 sovereign to £150 in 2007. I don't think it would have changed much.

What is lady sovereign wearing?

If the questioner is inquiring about the chunky gold ring Lady Sovereign is known to wear often, it is a gold sovereign set in a ring. The gold sovereign is a British gold bullion coin, containing 1/4 of a troy ounce of pure gold, though its weight is greater than this because it is cast in 22ct gold rather than 24ct. It is 22mm wide, which is about the same size as a U.S. or Canadian nickel. It has the profile portrait of the reigning monarch on its obverse, and (since 1817) an image of St. George slaying the dragon, designed by Benedetto Pistrucci, on the reverse. Occasionally the reverse depicts the shield of the monarch. Queen Victoria alternated between the two for much of her reign, one year bearing St. George, the next the shield. Sovereigns are popularly worn mounted in rings or as pendants. Lady Sovereign is known for her sovereign ring, from which she also derived the name.
