Sorry everybody, but I have it on great expert advice that is some very special 'natural' gold. Very special nugget indeed.

Royal Mint will be after that to bash it into a sovereign.

Has the OP forgotten about giving us the answer.

This is like one of those 5 day Dutch auctions.

 

Nope.!!!

In fact, @GoldDiggerDave have not any clue about the purity of this nugget.

Look what he said on the main page:

"......., @CoinStruck sent me this Western Australian gold nugget. It weights 0.826g"...

He never mentioned that the nugget ever arrived and/or been tested.

So, another few words said by OP give me a weird sensation that all of us just wasted our time for a childish joke:

"Just for a bit of fun..." said @GoldDiggerDave on 8th of February...

Genuinely sorry folks I did not think anyone was interest……I did not turn on notifications…..my bad! 
 

I’ll give you the results soon! I was surprised at the results.  

[GoldDiggerDave]

@stefffana @dicker @Britannia47   @CoinStruckThe results........... I was genuinely expecting to find more contamination/more elements within the XRF test.   It's known that Western Australian gold is more pure in its un refined state than Northern American gold for example   The results are as follows......

Result          

97.37 Au       

2.55 Ag         

0.08 Fe

This was run for a full cycle and no other trace elements were detected. 

I've love to build a sovereign "DNA" database to see if there is a detectable difference between Perth sovereigns and Canadian mint sovereigns for example.

Watching those Aussie Gold Hunters programs,  I would say between 98 to 99% of pure gold.

I was so close.

I find its crazy that it's so pure.  I thought it would have more trace elements even in parts 1000's or 10,000's

Looks more golden than the one I have confirmed at 22ct AGW 

I guess 98%

 

I'm good

When you watch then Australian gold mining  shows, in the outback, they seem to have the purest of gold in their nuggets.

Well, here's a start -

I would hazard a guess that the X-ray tubes are actually made by third parties.  If you could find out what models of tubes they take and identify a second source for the tube, one of the Chinese ones might be worth getting.  This might take a little bit of digging.

No!  Nothing for bad grammar!  It’s either ‘Did I win?’  or ‘Have I won?’ Just wait ‘til  Lawrence sees this….😁😁😁

I wonder,how many people clicked that link and have been off on a tangent looking at all other things. I hope I haven't missed a deal why I was away.

Gotta start somewhere.  I suspect a full-fat one might even cause your missus to break a sweat.
