There is a picture of the finder holding this same nugget in the 2007 Garrett catalog.

You really appreciate the size by looking at the picture.

Couldn't find the picture I wanted, but look at this one and use the hand for scale purposes...that's one big nugget.

I've seen this at the Golden Nugget Casino in Las Vegas! It is huge & beautiful!

[stefen]

Hell, in Texas they use that size for paper weights and watch fobs

We use bigger ones than that here in California for door stops. Used a huge one to keep the lid on my Emus food bin last week. So big I could not photo it because the file size was to big for TN forum.

lol Funny that, must make small doors, yet again the big nuggets i have seen come from Nevada in the States.They were found with minelabs.
