There's gold in them thar hills!
A California man who found an 8 lb. gold nugget with a metal detector got $460,000 for it at auction. A coin collecting company bought the nugget on behalf of an anonymous buyer. It's probably the largest gold nugget in existence. Question: At the current price of gold, the nugget should be worth only about $140,000. I guess bigger is better?

I guess the novelty tripled the value?
 for the finder, though.

Imagine all the old gold diggers that will be scouring the area with metal detectors! The beachs will be empty!
