Biggest Nugget you've physically held
Ok, here is one for you gold nuts out there.
What is the biggest gold nugget you have physically held in your hands.
Mine was just shy of 26oz (specimen). Not allowed to post pics, but bignuggs can confirm as he has seen the photo.

I dredged up a 3 oz. solid nugget around 1982 in Arizona. Dad bought it from me and still has it. :)

Re: Biggest Nugget you've physically held
About four years ago travelling up in the Murchison (to protect the owners id will not say where)was shown and able to hold a 26oz beauty plus a few other bits and pieces. It was this experience that got me into this great hobby. The biggest piece I have found myself todate is 8.4gm.found on a recent trip out.

You too mate....
When I was 21 I used to sport a sea cucumber but now its just the Garden Variety slug
A few years back I met a bloke who had jars of the good stuff. In one big old Coffee jar,he had a load of chunks between 6-10 Oz. All clean,waterworn slugs as well.

I don't think it was 30kg, I googled it and it appears this Ausrox nugget may be it

Linney's in Broome
Next time you're in Broome, drop in to Linney's and in the counter on the right-hand side is a 3/4 palm sized nugget the owner bought off a young chap - biggest nugget found in Hall's creek supposedly...
Better than a pink diamond any day. Could have taken out Goliath this thing. Such a pleasure to hold in the hand.
Ask to hold it, gets the blood goin!

Just goin on the most popular story over here, some say its from nth of cooly others say NT
But ive always reckoned it looks fake IMO.
Could be wrong but i bet i'm not..
Ya just cant keep something like that size secret, like the big nugget that was apparently found
in USA last year and all that was BS too, it was an ozzie nugget..
