nugget
Panned lump found
A nugget is a small, solid lump of something valuable—originally and especially gold: They found a nugget in the stream.
The word extends to compact, chunky pieces of food: chicken nuggets, cheese nuggets.
Figuratively, a nugget is a small but valuable bit of information or wisdom: nuggets of advice, a nugget of truth buried in his rambling.
