An amateur gold digger has found an enormous gold nugget worth 240,000 AUD ($160,000) in Australia. Discovered in the state of Victoria in an area known as the "Golden Triangle," the gold-filled rock weighs 4.6 kilograms (10.1 pounds), with the precious metal making up 2.6 kilograms (5.7 pounds).

Named the "Lucky Strike Nugget," the gold specimen was taken to prospecting shop Lucky Strike Gold toward the end of last year and dropped into the hands of shop owner Darren Kamp, who valued it. "When it hit my hand, my jaw dropped with it," Kamp told CNN on Tuesday. "It was just incredible. Once-in-a-lifetime find."

I'm upset about the tornado but at least it wasn't in South Mississippi where people are eating Faux News up here about quitting support for Ukraine. I'm not sure if the people down here would truly appreciate the help and understand it.

Hopefully Rolling Fork can build back better and stronger. Dixie Alley folk need to stick together.

Well to be fair, most of the slaves weren't indigent to the US either.

>And stealing land from indigenous peoples.

I think conquering would be the proper word right? Not debating the morality of it, just pointing out that taking land with your country's military is something that all country's did during that time frame, given the ability.

Lets not pretend the USA is evil because some of the deeds done in the past.

The USA has done the most work trying to bring free & democracy to oppressed people.

If they failed it's not their fault the people they were trying to help didn't keep what was given to them.
