In 1857, 30,000 pounds of gold were sent from San Francisco to the East Coast by sea...and never made it. A hurricane sunk the S.S. Central America, and all that wealth vanished, not to be seen again for over a century. Thesinking contributed to the Panic of 1857, a major financial crisis.

When the S.S. Central America was discovered, it was one of the great shipwreck finds of the century. Amidst all that wealth were real California gold nuggets, mined by those very miners who risked so much.

Today we offer you those nuggets: real, California gold rush nuggets, buried at the bottom of the sea for over 100 years. The nuggets are encapsulated in a custom-made medallion with Lady Liberty on one side and an eagleon the other.
