4.325kg Nugget Recently Found Vic GT

[Ridge Runner]

Awesome find.
All I really want to know is what was it found on private land or crown land and how deep?

LC from my info which I believe to be a very reliable source found by a young bloke on a lease and after excavation 70 K from Bendigo

John.
Very interesting what you write ................... very interesting indeed ............... so I presume you know what machine it was found with also ?

So I'm guessing it wasn't even found with a detector and was instead dug out as part of paydirt at a mine like at Tarnagulla?

Meaning it has basically zero relevance to detecting or detectorist?
Still a nice nugget but I'm not going to kid myself.

No LC, that's not what happened.

Ok well that's fair call ......................... just for my curiousity how old is the bloke that found it ? Surely that piece of info is not going to betray any one's confidence ?

Might have been a push and detect find in my opinion?

 

[old hand]

yes it was with a big yellow detector

If it has nothing to do with marketing why is there always a comon link with Minelab and a dealer and ALWAYS a stay tuned for the full story attached ? Its not hard to add some brief info to it , is it ? Nah always the big mystery! !
9 times out of 10 the story never comes out anyway , but im sure people will keep popping into their website to check for it.
Anyway it is gold that was found by someone somewhere at sometime , i believe that

The finder does not want to give out any info as of yet and I gave my word, If and when they tell me otherwise but until then it is what it is and I am not going to Betray their trust.

John.

Well if I found a beast like that I would keep it very quiet. Until I cleaned it out using a few different coils.
Then put it on ebay to sell the location

I would keep it quiet too, but I don't think I could swing a coil after finding one like that, not for a few days anyway.

That picture on the other forum does not do it justice, Like you said, it is a "Beast"

Mate, I haven't slept in a couple of days, I think If I had found it I'd be a Wreck,

Minelab will never beat a Catapillar, Komatsu or any other large scale machine but they do work well in unison, so I'm told.

Thats a fantastic find,

We always read or hear skeptics opinions and this usually travels along the lines into different stories arising - chinese whispers. Much like the large 5.5kg Gold Nugget found in Ballarat not too long ago.

To me it doesnt matter how or when it was found but more so that it shows that these large nuggets just keep popping up. The large 5.5kg Nugget found near Ballarat was indeed in between a lot of Junk - not with the aids of a dozer like some people were suggesting, but with a GPX5000 and an 8x6 Sadie Coil at 2 feet deep or roughly 600mm

Be good if and when the full story is released - good on them for this find.

We met the Finder's friend today at Breakfast. Saw another very interesting photo.
I'm happy for ANYONE that finds Yella. Especially something of that caliber.
