What was the weight and name of a monster nugget found in 1869 ?

 

[7.62marksman]

world's largest nugget was found just a couple of inches below the ground near Dunolly, Victoria, Australia on 5 February 1869. Weighing in at 2,315.5 troy ounces (72.02 kg) it surpassed the "Welcome Nugget" by nearly a hundred ounces

 

[Danny13]

Not far off marksman

 

[Danny13]

Your second choice might have it marksmen

 

[7.62marksman]

Welcome stranger 72kg

 

[Danny13]

That's right "welcome stranger" found in 1869 in bulldog gully weighing 69 kilograms was the largest nugget in the world until beaten by the nugget at dunolly

 

[Danny13]
