The largest specimen weighs in at 90 kilograms and took three men to lift it onto the back of a ute.
The quartz rock is covered in an estimated 2,300 ounces of gold worth about $3.8 million at today's gold price.
Another 60kg specimen is estimated to contain 1,600 ounces, or about $2.6 million in gold.
"Everything was covered in dust, and as I watered the dirt down there was just gold everywhere, as far as you could see," he said.
"I've been an airleg miner for 16 years. Never in my life have I ever seen anything like this.
"There was chunks of gold in the face, on the ground, truly unique I reckon.
"I nearly fell over looking at it … we were picking it up for hours."
