The shimmering gold in the image above wasn’t panned from a river or dug from a mine. It was created by a remarkable bacterium called Cupriavidus metallidurans, which can survive in toxic, metal-rich environments and transform poisonous gold compounds into tiny particles of pure, 99.9% metallic gold.

Metals: Gold

Gold is forever. It is beautiful, useful, and never wears out. Small wonder that gold has been prized over all else, in all ages, as a store of value that will survive the travails of life and the ravages of time.

Milestone Monday

February 5th marks the anniversary of the discovery of the largest alluvial gold nugget in history, known as “Welcome Stranger.” The nugget was found in 1869 by miners John Deason and Richard Oates just outside of Dunolly, Australia. It weighed just under 193 pounds earning the miners roughly £9,381 (equivalent to around A$743,000 today). A little over 8,000 miles away, California was winding down its famed gold rush that forever altered the area’s landscape, societal growth, and indigenous communities.  

California Gold Rush Camps: A Keepsake in Fourteen Parts published in 1998 by The Book Club of California documents the lives of miners and the camps that shaped California in the latter half of the 1800s. The keepsake contains fourteen folders, each highlighting the history of a camp that played a notable role in the gold rush. The text is accompanied by color illustrations from Life Among the Miners published by Hutchings & Rosenfield in 1854, sketches published in local magazines and newspapers, lithographs, and a daguerreotype. The series was edited by Robert J. Chandler and designed and printed by Patrick Reagh Printers, Inc. 

In alignment with their commitment to sharing California history, The Book Club of California presented portions of this publication at the 1998 Western History Association annual meeting. California Gold Rush Camps: A Keepsake in Fourteen Parts is part of an extensive collection of The Book Club of California materials held within Special Collections. This book is another gift from our friend Jerry Buff.

Pokemon Challenge 2024! #1145 Naugget.

Naugget is a Steel type based on gold (that's why there's an 'au' in his name!). New Zealand had a massive gold rush in the 1860s which brought prospectors from all over, including many overseas hopefuls from places like China, Australia and America. This had a huge impact on New Zealand's economy and aftereffects of the rush - including the diverse makeup of New Zealand's modern population - can still be seen in New Zealand today.

The "Boot of Cortez" gold nugget was found in 1989 in northern Mexico, just 70 miles south of the border with Arizona. It was discovered by an amateur prospector with a metal detector.

Pokemon Challenge 2024! #1146 Goldig.

Goldig is the evolved form of Naugget and is also a Steel type. Based on the shiny nuggets found in the New Zealand gold rush era, I decked Goldig out in a classic hat and boots from the time period. He's all dressed up and ready to go! He's so keen! He boots too big for he gotdamn feet! The prospectors actually made more use of pans than picks since most of the gold was found in rivers, but I thought this would come off much better for his design.
