of how he found this 9-pound gold nugget on his property. for the record, there was a person who first called it bologna. he's a veteran prospect tore. >> tom. >> tim, i interviewed you about a week after the story appeared. what did you tell me back then? >> thought it was bogus. absolutely. >> despite scattered skepticism, the giant nugget was presented as the largest surviving pessimism from california's gold country, and it sold the following spring at auction for $460,000. a website appeared advertising jim grill's property as the lost scotchman mine, seeking investors by claiming the giant nugget was just the tip of the iceberg. the website boasted about how it received widespread exposure and and that, ironically, led to what happened next. >> i would like to set the record straight because there's people being defrauded here. >> a couple of australian prospectors contacted us shortly after the auction to say that they had actually dug up the

nugget in victoria's gold country in 1987. when asked about the great gold nugget hoax, a person at the northstar mining museum said what called goldmine salting is as old as ninth itself. >> oh, definitely. as long as there's been gold there is been people trying to figure out how to make more money off of it than they should. >> the truth was bound to come out eventually. that distinctive gold nugget supposedly discovered in washington in 2010 had been featured in prospecting magazines for 20 years. whatever interest investors might have had in the property vanished. the hoax was a huge embarrassment for the auction house. they refunded the winning bidder's money and sworn everybody to secrecy. >> i told you so.
