4.5 Oz Gold nugget GET!

A dude in Central Australia uses a pickaxe to dig up a 4.5 oz gold nugget. That's about $4500 USD. You can skip to 1:20 where he finally sets up the camera after his intro.

The most gold I've ever found at one time was a 5 peso gold coin set into a gold medallion. The whole thing was worth maybe 40 bucks. I've found lots of sterling, but I haven't had the luck my parents had, they've got a whole bag of nothing but class and wedding rings. The gold coin made my dad jealous though, he had said a gold coin was the one thing he really wanted to find. I think I know what I'll be doing tomorrow on my off day though!

Here on Vancouver Island one has to work, get cold and wet, chased by bears, or pot growers, to find any colours. With gold steady at over $1000/oz a prospector can expect to now make a little more than the full-time kid at McDonald's. I know two miner hermits, same region, ajacent claims. The first claim-staker lives in a nice big house, gets a new truck every other year. The other guy hangs around outside the lodge, mooching cigarettes and picking butt-ends from the ashtray. (He's probably the guy with all the gold.)
