We have gold like that here in NZ!!!! I have seen and held an almost solid (bit of quartz in it) nugget with a similar amount of gold in it from little old NZ found by a detectorist.
And now....On sandy beaches and muddy soil, rings and coins await my coil!

There will be a piece like that up in Coro somewhere. You will just have to dig 3 foot holes until you fund it.
