Help Support Prospecting Australia:
Have you tried approaching Federation University in Ballarat?
Next on the list. Trying to work out the ground.
There's a Geological Society of Australia that might also be of assistance:

Maybe members can help.
Statement. Not in a gold bearing area. No gravel. No water warned rocks.
Clay is dark green. But found this

In my experience, gravel and/or water-worn rocks aren't a requirement for finding decent chunks of gold. Dark green clay isn't something I've come across, so it may or may not be relevant.
What exactly does 'not in a gold bearing area' mean? Do you mean not in a KNOWN gold-bearing area, or are you just talking about an absence of common clues such as quartz or old shafts/workings?
Very nice piece, by the way - gotta be more where that came from, I reckon.

Not a known gold bearing area. Nugget water warn the other side of hill there’s a old river. I’m thinking someone dropped it.
Unless it was on the surface, I wouldn't be assuming it was dropped and the amount of wear isn't enough to make it water-worn, in my opinion. I'd be going over the whole hillside top to bottom with a fine-tooth comb, if I were you.
How far is it from the nearest old-time workings?
