San Francisco resident Jim Sanders owns property in Nevada County, which is where, last year, he found what is apparently the largest single gold nugget ever discovered in the Sierra foothills. It was recently auctioned off for $460,000. Later that year he discovered other large nuggets on the property. Assayers are going to pick through the property next month in hopes that they'll figure out how much more gold there is on the property. [SFist]
