Richmond Auctions and Gold Rush Star Tyler Mahoney to Present First-Ever Australian Gold Nugget Auction

GREENVILLE, S.C., Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Richmond Auctions, one of the fastest rising names in the world of investment-grade collectibles, is proud to announce a groundbreaking partnership with internationally recognized prospector and entrepreneur Tyler Mahoney—best known for her role on Discovery Channel's Gold Rush—to bring a first-of-its-kind gold nugget auction to market on Saturday, September 6, 2025.

This exclusive event will feature an exceptional collection of natural gold nuggets; all sourced from the legendary goldfields and historic mines of Western Australia. The collection has been carefully assembled through Tyler's deep connections within the Australian prospecting community, including pieces unearthed by her own family— fourth-generation prospectors—and others acquired from respected miners across the Outback. Each nugget has been hand-selected for its quality, uniqueness, and visual impact.

"These nuggets are not just gold—they're natural works of art," said Mahoney. "Each one tells a story of geology, time, and the unforgiving conditions of the Australian Outback. Whether it came from our family's dig or one of our trusted partners, every piece is the real deal."

What sets this auction apart is not only the unrepeatable nature of the inventory, but also the collaboration between Mahoney and Richmond Auctions founders Jordan Richmond and Mike McCandless. With a track record of industry-shaping auctions—including the world-record-setting $1.5 Million Musgo Gasoline sign and the upcoming Tony Townley Collection featuring the Zaxby's Co-Founder's legendary private car and sign collection —Richmond brings global reach, trusted expertise, and collector enthusiasm to a category long overdue for serious spotlight.

"This is a focused and curated event," said Richmond. "It's not about volume—it's about quality, provenance, and presentation. Every nugget is a one-of-one. You can't mass- produce this kind of material, and once it's gone, it's gone."

The auction will be conducted live in Greenville, SC, with online bidding and phone participation available worldwide. In addition to the featured nuggets, a select group of gold coins will be included in the sale, curated specifically for the numismatic collector.

Why Australian Gold Nuggets?

Australian nuggets are globally respected for their high purity, bold crystal structure, and raw natural beauty. Unlike gold dust or refined bars, these pieces come directly from nature, untouched by machines, shaped only by eons of geologic movement. Finding them is increasingly rare—harvested only by skilled prospectors willing to brave heat, isolation, and terrain that would break most people.

As Mahoney put it:

"When you hold one of these nuggets, you're holding millions of years of Earth's story. And that story is written in gold."
