[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 588582, member: 4012"] Even a man and his mate can't lift a 200kg nugget between them without both of them busting a gut, but the problem isn't unsolvable. As far as I know the ancient Egyptians didn't have access to tower cranes when they built the pyramids! Simple leverage will go a long way towards moving heavy stuff and the longer the lever the better. :power: A tow strap with a 4WD at the other end and a ramp of dirt, rocks and logs would get a nugget (more likely a specimen, I'd guess), to a loadable height at a pinch. I reckon I could just about manage that task in the bush single-handed in a day or two. [/QUOTE]
