Sheldon J:

Just search "Google Images" for the the phrase "Washington Nugget:"

http://www.google.com/search?tbm=is...l=1735l4532l0l17l15l0l2l2l0l265l2656l0.5.8l13

Then try "Orange Roughy Gold Nugget" (although, no surprise, you'll also get some photos of dead fish).

Good luck to all,

My comment was about the yahoo story, any hack worth their salt will post pictures with their story....

A few years back I was at a GPAA show in Dayton Ohio and one guy had a very similar nugget, he let me hold it and it was wonderfully heavy!!!

A number of years ago, at the Tulsa Treasure Show (Maybe the last one there?) Rattlesnake John was showing and selling large gold nuggests he'd found in Australia. He'd let you hold them and they were huge and heavy.

A guy there was selling dowsing devices and showing folks how they would point to the little bits of gold he'd put on the table.

My thought? I'd want to buy the machine that pointed to Rattlesnake John's finds. They were just a couple of tables away...

Good luck to all,
