Largest gold nugget ever was found in February 1869 in Victoria, Australia. It weighed 72 kilograms (158.7 pounds) and was 61 centimeters (24 inches) long.
The two men received a little less than 10,000 pounds for this enormous gold (a sum that is equivalent today to 743,000 Australian dollars, which is about one million and 700 thousand shekels) Today it was estimated at about two million pounds (more than 9 million shekel)
