Are big nuggets only found on private property?

[QUOTE="Guest, post: 135126"] Hi everyone, I was reading about some larger sized nuggets that have been found lately around Victorias Golden Triangle in THE VICTORIAN SEEKERS CLUB BI-MONTHLY NEWSLETTER. A couple of them were apparently found near Dunolly and weighed 65oz and 72oz. This got me thinking, are big nuggets like these only found on private properties? Some of the old workings and reefs are either on private property, no go zones or under a mining lease, so off limits for many prospectors. I've watched many people on youtube unearthing really nice pieces but usually they don't say if it was found on private or public land. Its sort of going to be a bit of a downer if i find out most of the good stuff is on private property. Dont get me wrong for most folks including myself this is a hobby. And as a hobby I should be grateful to get out in the bush away from all my work commitments and just relax, but it would be nice to know that theres a chance of finding something a bit bigger one day. So has anyone any thoughts about finding 2 -3 oz nuggets or more in a state forest? Are they still out there in your honest opinion? Lets assume you have the best detector and 30 years of experience behind you. In other words, if there is gold in the ground you would likely find it. Cheers Jin :) [/QUOTE]
