Giant gold nugget found at Taklugs Quay in Oregon
A placer miner named Mr. Noonan, a Cord Alona man, arrived at Porvand with a 500 gold nugget in his pocket. Noonan, with nearly 40 years in western mining, showed the lump described as pear shaped and large, though some doubted its value due to quartz.
