5.87 troy ounces. These are the larger nuggets. A few are gold in quartz. The largest piece is 1.1x2.0x1.9cm and weighs 0.76 troy ounces. This is one of the original gold discovery sites in California, with discoveries as early as 1844. An excellent reference on the area is Pre-Marshall Gold in California. Today, gold is recovered from the sand and gravel operations in the riverbed. There is at least on company who has retained the gold for decades, molded into ingots, though none have been sold.
