Nugget gold can be identified through three methods: appearance observation, texture measurement or identification by a professional identification company.

1. Judging from the dog-headed gold that has been discovered, it generally has three states: gold-covered stone, stone-covered gold, and gold-covered water. This kind of natural gold is named because its shape resembles the shape of a dog's head. Dog head gold is also called horseshoe gold. Therefore, looking at the shape, the surface is generally golden yellow and the surface is pitted.

2. Nugget gold is a naturally produced nugget with impure texture, large particles and irregular shape. It is usually composed of natural gold, quartz and other mineral aggregates. The texture of natural gold nuggets such as nugget gold is not pure and generally contains small amounts of other metals, with silver being the most common. Others include copper, iron, platinum, etc. Identification is done by measuring the texture of nugget gold.

3. Go to an authoritative appraisal company or auction company for appraisal.
