Detectorist, Jonathan Needham, 54, found the gold on the border of Derbyshire and believes it was formed naturally beneath the ground there
A metal detectorist has made the "discovery of a lifetime" after finding a gold nugget shaped like Britain. Jonathan Needham, 54, discovered the gold on the border between Derbyshire and Staffordshire, and believes it was naturally formed underground.
"It was quite funny - when I started cleaning it and turned it around I thought 'that looks just like England'.''The jury is out whether its natural or whether its part of a smelting process and the gold was smelted and then dropped. "I am hoping it is a natural nugget and if it is it would be extraordinary because not many get found in this country.Jonathan is now hoping to return to the same area to see if he can discover more similar finds. He added: "I will be checking out the area very carefully to see if I can pull any more out - it is an amazing find."
