“... Weighs as Much as an Adult Man ...”

Disgusting clickbait headline. The nugget doesn’t exist anymore. Those pictures are fakes.

That would work worth about $6.4 million with today’s prices.

Lol. Even the gold in Aus wants to kill you.... good one. Probably has some type of outer space microbe that mutates into Bernie Sanders.

Oops. Should have been kg. Should have spelled out the word.

I've been wondering when the wokesters will demand the "kilogram" be renamed because the first syllable suggests killing.

Gold like luck rare some have both if it wasn’t for bad luck I wouldn’t have any.

More power to those who do have good luck.

If I was a liberal I could say they stole my muck yeah that’s it.

Didn’t even last one generation! My Great grandfather had 13 kids, spent lavishly on them and built the largest and most expensive house in Linn County. He went broke in the early 40s and the house was auctioned in ‘42 - and it was intentionally burned in ‘96 to clear the ground for a school parking lot.
Ah well…

Yes. I just said “220 lbs” because that’s what the article printed.

I think we’re lowballing the worth of this nugget.

Gold was $3339.15 today. So....$3,339.15 an oz x 16 oz. x 220 pounds is $11,753,843.20 give or take a few cents.

Wrong kind of ounces.

Gold is measured in Troy Ounces....
