'I really could not believe it. I have dug gold before but I was not expecting to find a nugget of gold. When you are detecting in England to find a nugget of gold is exceptional.'
'It was quite funny - when I started cleaning it and turned it around I thought 'that looks just like England'. It is rare enough to find a piece of gold but to find one that looks exactly like England is crazy.'
'The jury is out whether its natural or whether its part of a smelting process and the gold was smelted and then dropped. People are saying it's natural - if it is natural then I found this on the Derbyshire Staffordshire borders. It could open up a whole can of worms.'
'I am hoping it is a natural nugget and if it is it would be extraordinary because not many get found in this country. If it is natural gold it will be one in a lifetime.'
