[QUOTE="Deepseeker, post: 589025, member: 13321"] The Welcome stranger was "only" 97 Kgs. So as it sets the only precedent for such a huge nugget, cut it in half, get a few of your mates to help you load it onto a dray and take two trips to the local blacksmith to cut it up on his/her anvil? :playful: Seriously though, you'd be pushing it nowadays I think to find anything even near the size of the Welcome Stranger, and that was handled manually. Surely whatever you find, you could just use a hand operated chain block and tackle and some slings? P.S. The Holtermann nugget/specimen had a gross weight of 285 Kgs and was found at around 55 metres deep, and I doubt there was any kind of crane used to get that out of the ground back in 1872 [/QUOTE]
