Well, that's certainly an interesting story. I didn't even know there was naturally occurring gold in the UK.

I know from going to a lot of gem and mineral shows with my wife, that there are rockhounds out there who will pay stupid amounts of money for so-called "specimens"... that seems like a lot of money for a little over 2 oz of gold! But I also know that if it is truly rare, melt value has very little to do with the price.
