    Yup nice picture though on the front towards the left corner it reminds me of a cigarette butt sticking out of the nugget. Not to detract from the beauty or value of the object. And the "finder" of the nugget was wise to keep a low profile as "things" are happening out there that involve all of us and it could get uglier. Seems like tight lips are to become the watch word for prospecting in all its forms. See my posts under Dredging & Backpacking.

    Lanny, you need to find one that's about 110 oz. so you get the whole half Mil.

    According to this article that nugget was Australian and it was a scam to sell as a Califonia
    nugget. Read the article.

    Al least the truth is out!
