  That dude is rubbing that thing like the old abomniable snowman in the Buggs Bunny cartoons - I'm going to pet it and rub it and hold it and name it George.

  I saw the video last night on my local TV news. The way he was handling it didn't look to me -- not at all in fact -- that it weighed 12 pounds. The color looked goofy too.

  When in doubt, don't.

  Think of how easy it would be to pull off a hoax about something like this.How can the gentleman showing off the nugget assert that it will "never be melted?" Whoever buys it can do with it as they please.
  
  One thing is certain.Local metal detector sales will be way up.

  Cool!
  
  Does this mean that in the future we can look forward to more Washington, California Gold Nugget finds that'll be auctioned off to some unsuspecting individual?
  
  
  Ooops!

  I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

  I wonder if the guys on "Gold Rush", Bering Sea Gold" and "Bamazon" are pulling up stakes and heading "Down Under" to find "big nuggets"
