> Did this tiny nugget make it into your record books, Bob?

"The world's largest single mass of gold is correctly
not a nugget it is a specimen also known as a matrix"

I posted that information a long time ago:
REF: historyhill.com.au

The world's largest recorded nugget is “The Welcome Stranger”. The find occurred at Black Lead (or Black Reef), Bull-dog Gully, Moliagul and was broken up on an anvil at nearby Dunolly in Victoria, Australia, to be weighed in that towns bank. The finders were John Deason and Richard Oats, the find occurred on 5th February, 1869.
