Nugget? That's a rock encrusted with gold. $160K? Doesn't look like that much gold.

Wowza. I'm wondering if that's just a stock photo though in the article, and not his discovery.

I hope they don't know the amount of gold in the rock (83 oz) because they crushed it. Natural gold-laced quartz specimens -- especially larger ones -- tend to carry a decent premium.

Doing some dirty math, that rock was about half gold. :shock:
