HI, I HAD A GOOD LAUGH WHEN I SAW YOUR PHOTO AND WOULD MAKE APRIL FOOLS JOKE AND THE IDEA THE WELCOME STRANGER BEING FOUND UNDER THE ROAD IS NOT CORRECT .THIS IDEA CAME FROM THE FACT THE WAGON AXLE BROKE UNDER THE WEIGHT OF THE GOLD ,WHEN TRANSPORTED TO TOWN.

If I recall correctly, the "Welcome Strainger" nugget weighed 168 pounds.
That guy is holding it as though it only weighed 10 pounds. Tongue
