For some reason the largest gold nuggets are given names, as the largest precious stones are.
In 1869 two Brits were prospecting in Australia when they found a whopper gold nugget. As a matter of fact the largest ever found... make that the largest ever reported/recorded. Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts and minds of gold fever crazed seekers. Quote:

Then who picks up after Krypto?
