More reasons to go to Crans-Montana!

Last month a German holidaymaker was hiking in the mountains of Crans-Montana along River Tieche and discovered more than just beautiful scenery. While strolling along the river, the tourist,(who wishes to remain anonymous) discovered a gold nugget weighing 128.5 grams (or 4.5 ounces).

The finder does not describe himself as a typical gold prospector: he says that he made his discovery ‘quite by chance’ and has already received confirmation that it is real. The finder has stated his intention to donate the find to a museum or an experienced collector.
