That sounds like a big big big nugget. Wish I could see it too. I just see an outline of a box with a little circle in top of left corner that has a slash thru it. Can you post the link too?

A bad day at gold prospecting or metal detecting is better than a good day at work.

Holy Moly! What a great find. Makes me wish I was in Australia. I can see why the guy that has it now has a big smile on his face. I bet the original finder can afford to purchase a whole lot more Minelabs.

Well if he's digging that deep I think he better ear mark some of that money ready to buy a mini digger or a Bobcat, Sure would lighten the Load A Bit. Although it would be nice but digging 2 or 3 of them a day might just cause a Person to develop a bit of a Thrist,
