ED & LINDY'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURES....... In 2000, we began a website
chronicling our travels. After using that site for 17 years, technology changed; it can no longer be updated. Welcome to our NEW SITE which follows our journeys from the Fall of 2016 to present. Our thanks go to Andy Paluch/WebGuyz!
This is a replica of the "Welcome Stranger" nugget. When it was found, it was the world's largest nugget. As mentioned earlier, it was found only 3cm under the soil by a Cornish miner. After smelting, it yielded about 71kg of pure gold. That had to be one happy miner!!
