Not sure exactly where this was found in WA, but a great find for someone....

This is a large Nugget recently found in WA, it will most likely be sold to

the USA  --  weight is 3 KG and comes with a huge price tag of course.

Gold lifted $60 an Ounce today, work that out.

That's the Granddaddy to Larry's 23 gram model. I would take a stab, as to where it was found. Its nett worth is, what the market is prepared to pay. It looks like a cow pat.

That on its own, is worth a SH.......IT load of money.biggrin They might name it to Turd of all Turds.wink

Nice to hear from you Vic,..and Jim too..I guess...lol.....Looks, smells, and tastes nice I will bet...wonder if it was found with a huge yellow gold detector like many are.....usually too deep for the modern Minelab detector to hear...but you never know...that's what keeps driving us prospectors 'out there' into the sleet, rain and hail, high winds, sweltering heat, snakes,flies......HOPE....man/woman is a creature of hope...remove hope and you lose the desire for living....

I always like something of known size in the photo so we can compare....I remember when I sent that smallish nugglet to our late member/mate Gary Kelly, to put a bit of cheer into his final days, and he posted a photo of the nugget next to a camera which had everyone agog as to how humungous the nugget was that I had sent....until he revealed the camera was a Lego camera!....the nugget was actually a bees pubic hair over 2 grams.....miss our late mate Gary Kelly, he used to brighten every thread when he posted.....he had everything ready to go on his 'Australian Odyssey' when fate took over.....RIP...something in that for us all to consider....all he wanted to do was travel Australia and he never quite made it....Hoo Roo
