I remember reading about him. Even caught a show on TV once about it. Been a few years gone by now though. That's all he would do though was drive around the deserts and wait for a signal and dig. The find you are speaking of was a very sizeable one but I can't recall exactly either anymore as far as the weight goes. It was definately a good story to read though.

I've never heard of anyone here in the US finding a 139 pound nugget. I do recall a story of a guy finding a nugget in the Mohave desert using a metal detector attached to a jeep but I can't recall how much it weighed.

139 lbs is over 1600 troy oz -which is pretty much unheard of - even in Australia ( the land ofhuge nuggets) It's think it's probably 139 ounces and not pounds.. Grin
