I thought you guys would drool over the thought of this giant 2 Kg nugget being forgotten for decades in a wooden box.

The nugget was in a box and the box was used as the stumps. I'd like to know the full story behind this nugget? It was bought and subsequently lost? Bureaucratic complacency at its finest it's not like it was some tiddler? It was the tenth largest unearthed in N.S.W. Useless!Sandta said:I dont think the nugget is the big story here.....

Yeah, probably good they forgot about it and left it in a box imo. Otherwise it's likely somebody before now may have turned it into ingots and just thrown them in a safe somewhere.mbasko said:The value may be to do with the rarity. I remember reading somewhere that it, The Maitland Bar Nugget, was the last intact NSW nugget of it's size in existence today?
Yep it would be a great display! It was found not far from a few of my "stomping grounds" on what is now nearly all private property. Would love to see it come back here to be put on display locally even if just over a few weeks of some of the festivals etc. that we have around Mudgee/Gulgong.SCROUNGER said:Yeah, probably good they forgot about it and left it in a box imo.
