I Taped a Gold Nugget On a Pan And Sent It To Space!

I sent my favorite gold pan and a real gold nugget I found in the river into space using a high-altitude weather balloon! The payload reached over 113,000 feet before returning to Earth. Will the gold nugget survive? Watch to find out! Big thanks to Launch With Us for the launch, and @veritasium and @MrBeast for inspiration to do something different.
