If you are someone who is prospecting for gold and are lucky enough to find a rich gold deposit and discover gold nuggets, you can decide what you want to do with the nugget/s. 

Some prospectors may hold on to the precious metal to keep as a souvenir, while other prospectors / miners can wait for gold prices to increase before deciding to sell it, and other prospectors / miners may decide to sell their gold nuggets immediately once they have discovered a nugget. 

However, if you are a beginner prospector, you may be wondering where you can sell your gold nuggets when (or if) you find any.

In this post, we provide some places where you can try to sell your gold nuggets.

Where to Sell Gold Nuggets:

Before selling gold nuggets, check if there are any regulations / rules in the country you want to find a buyer that may impose restrictions on the sale of gold. 

Assuming you can sell the gold nuggets you have discovered, these are some places where you can sell them: 

Local Precious Metal Buyers: These dealers specialize in buying gold and other precious metals. They often offer competitive prices and can provide immediate cash payments.

Pawn Shops: While not always the best option for getting the highest prices, pawn shops can be a quick way to sell gold nuggets.

Refineries: Gold refineries buy gold nuggets and refine them into pure gold. They usually offer a fair market price.

Online Buyers: There are several online platforms where you can sell gold nuggets. Make sure to choose reputable sites with good reviews.

Auctions: Some auction houses specialize in precious metals and can help you sell gold nuggets to collectors or investors. (Bonham's video)

Accurate Precious Metals: Known for competitive buy prices and transparency, they also offer remote purchasing options.

It's always a good idea to get multiple quotes and compare prices before selling your gold nuggets to ensure you get the best deal. 

If you have found a unique and / or large gold nugget, it would not be uncommon if you managed to attract a collector whp would be willing to pay more than the value of the actual gold contained in the nugget.
