A GOLD nugget found south of Maryborough has been described as one of the biggest unearthed in 100 years.

The stunned unnamed prospector walked into Maryborough's Coiltech Gold Centre on Monday and plonked the 3.5kg nugget on the counter.

Shop owner John Gladdis could hardly believe his eyes when he saw the nugget – 22cm long, 11cm wide and 8cm thick – in the prospector's hands.

"It was just the most magnificent piece of gold," he said.

"Every now and then you get one that is just something special and this was one of those."
