I'm a believer now Redfin.
At that shallow depth an Aldi would have found that.
My 705 would have overloaded probably told me it was iron.
My 2300 would have blown the speaker and my eardrums.

Hey guys someone on another site said the nugget might have been found in W A any truth to that.
stoneage said:wow, just heard about this one
how do hundreds of prospectors miss a piece like that for over 150 years????
Private property. ... right coil .. right swing people thinking its junk...
Im a cynical old bastard, everyone knows this, but a few things dont add up for me here.
(1) The pics of it cleaned just dont look real too me. Looks like one of those cast plaster replica's in the right light.
(2) The pic of him holding it by his fingertips, ya just wouldnt do that.....now i have held some serious gold, this thing would have weighed like a house brick.
(3) The pic of it in the dirt just dont look right, looks purposely buried too me.
(4) If you found a massive nugget, would you take the time to put a pill bottle next to it and take pics when it was half dug out? Who carry's a pill bottle detecting with them? The adrenaline would take over and above all else till you got it out just to see how big it was.
(5) No mention of the find in the media papers to authenticate its existence for possible buyer interest and authentic status. I mean why would you post on facebook to alert the world? Maybe cause no one can prove anything?
Why wouldnt you contact the Herald Sun or Age if you had the genuine article?
Either that or just shut up completely.
(6) Inglewood is a dying town, they need a rush.....know what i mean? Not many here even knew where it was?
(7) In the pic of it still dirty, it envelopes his hand....something of that size would spell 200+ ounces to me.
(8) Was originally posted on Facebook with a pic of the guy holding it grinning......then it said prospector unknown. Doesn't he have an account? Cant seem to find that original post either.
I Dunno, but i smell a rat.
Good luck to the finder and is one of the finds of this decade if im wrong.
Regards

even if 20 extra bucks goes into the local economy ,(hopefully more from the new interest) it's 20 bucks that was not there before
