Does not look like gold to me. One tonne of gold is about 14" cubed, so old mate would have to be Hercules to hold it if it was a giant nugget.

My understanding is that it was found with a GPZ7000 somewhere in Africa. I have heard of a few nice finds coming from there recently. Lots of unexplored ground there to cover as long as you dont get eaten by a wild animal or shot by some militia.

Maybe gold bearing rock! not a huge nugget. Size weight ratio?

 

[BigWave]

Agree with Dr Duck. With my estimates of 40*25*13cm, this sucker should weigh around 1/4 tonne (250kg), not 16.4kg. Maybe the nugget did exist, but this is a replica, unless the guy had extraordinary strong biceps - doesn't look like it though.

It's only 16.1kg so if you scale the person down to the correct size of what the nugget that looks like a dirty rock is, He would be one small midget about 3 feet tall, which makes sense course he's struggling to pick up 16kg really? I'm not a big guy but 16kgs isn't heavy.

Hand of faith measured 47x20x9 cm and is a solid chunk of gold. By the look of this it still has host rock attached, if you take note of the veins popping in his arms he's definitely holding weight, well done i say.

Arr But that rock is about 90% Quartz, So that is why it is so big and most of the Gold is on the outside, You have to admit that is the biggest Specie we have seen in a while.

All very well, but the OP advertised it as a nugget, which it clearly is not. It does not look like a specie to me either.

looks like all the rocks I drive past to get to the gold pmsl. must be bad light .

I'm not sure how to find the story about it, But I won't call the bloke a liar, The picture bad and it is a bit hard to see any detail, It is what it is, and I don't know anymore than what is written on that page.
