Wow!
I'd think that would be worth way more than $115K though. |

Gosh dang it Russ! You done told someone where we hid our stash of gold! Ya rascal!
 BTW, the newspaper is incorrect. While the metal value of the nugget could be around $115,000 I suspect that he could sell it around $1,500,000. And yes there are people that will pay that much for something that size. -------------------- Today's socio-political climate is rock solid proof that Adam and Eve weren't prospectors.
If they were they'd have eaten the snake instead of the apple and we'd still be in heaven.... |
