# Gold Nuggets

Players will occasionally discover gold nuggets while mining. Sizes will range from small to giant. Small to medium nuggets are generic and fungible. Large to giant nuggets are totally unique and collectible [blockchain-enabled items](https://whitepaper.paydirt.game/virtual-items/..#blockchain-enabled-items) / [Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)](https://whitepaper.paydirt.game/virtual-items/..#non-fungible-token-nft). \

Gold nuggets have intrinsic value determined by their *weight* and *purity.* Purity is determined by the amount of gold contained within the nugget*.* The larger nuggets also have subjective *artifact value* which is determined by a combination of *size*, *weight*, *purity* and *aesthetic qualities*. Values are expressed in [paydirt-dollars](https://whitepaper.paydirt.game/paydirt-dollars "mention").\

Large to giant nuggets are so rare that when a discovery is made, it will be announced to the entire Paydirt community, and the discoverer can choose a name for the nugget.
