We regularly purchase large amounts of natural gold nuggets. We never deal in man made or fake nuggets. We normally pay better than refiners or jewelers for quality placer gold. Avoid rip offs like pawn shops or those national cash for gold businesses - they offer a fraction of the price and do not specialize in natural placer gold. We always advise people to check the competition first and us last. Try local jewelry stores and pawn shops and even the large cash for gold dealers on the internet. Then check our prices last. We don't mind comparison shopping at all. You will be amazed at the difference. Typical purchases for quality placer range from 80% to 95% of spot. Higher for rare types of gold. TIP: 1 dwt (pennyweight)= 1.55517 grams
Helpful weight conversions: (WE USE GRAMS AND TROY OUNCES) The nuggets we sell and prefer to buy are generally of 20k purity or better. Remember natural gold is never 24k - it is always a mixture of other metals reducing the purity.

Selling Gold FAQ Do you have a minimum transaction? Yes. When you sell your products to us, our minimum purchase amount is 10 grams. Handling many small parcels is very time consuming. It can take as much time to receive, test, grade, and payout 1 single gram as a full ounce. How much do you pay for gold? It depends on various factors including: color, purity, size and rarity. In general we pay a certain percentage of the current gold spot price for typical placer gold. Fine flour gold and small picker size gold (8 mesh or smaller) will sell for a lower percentage of spot than larger gold. You can check current spot prices at www.kitco.com. In general you can expect to receive approx. 80-85% of spot for fine and small mesh gold and 90-95% of spot for larger pieces. We do NOT discount for purity. Any gold sent to us should test out at at least 18-20k and be free of host rock and quartz. Low grade gold is generally not accepted and should usually be melted down by a refiner.
