A pair of gold nuggets are up for auction today, in the latest stage of Silverado Gold Mines' nugget sale scheme.

The latest offerings weigh 5.13 and 6.11 grams and are the seventh and eighth gold pieces to be put up for auction.

According to Silverado, the nuggets are over 10,000 years old and had been buried within frozen river gravels in its Nolan Gold Mine in the Arctic Circle of Alaska.

The tenth largest gold nugget in Alaskan history was discovered by Silverado in 1994, weighing a huge 1287.6 grams.

This auction follows the bidding for a similar nugget that was sold on eBay near the end of August.
