Didn't you guys notice the stamp on the bottom of that nugget? "Made in Taiwan"

Really nice piece though. If I'm not mistaken though the govt will claim it as "State Property" Comrade.

It doesn't look right to me. More like 17 lb ball of scrap.

That's not a pic of the actual nugget, that's just a stock photo. The article says the nugget is "like" the one in the pic. Tricky journalists!
