Howdy!

Foolin' around on the web when I was supposed to be working I found this amazing photo:

scroll down a bit and you'll see the picture of a 290+ troy oz. nugget found in Alaska! I think it was the second joker who found it who brought it in because the first guy probably had a heart attack when he saw it.

"Wow!"

Good luck to all,
