My heart would have stopped instantly...

 

[jfreak70x7]

No doubt. I thought the same thing.

 

[rock]

Thats a good one! I couldnt even think of finding something like that. But if I ever did I would say SOLD.

 

[Sovereignelite]

Wow that's worth around a quarter million!

 

[4Nines]

I wonder if this guy is a member here?

I wonder if this guy is a member here?

doubtful,not many Aussie detectorists here,I can only think of one....Tinpan

 

[mariposagold]

What a reminder of my need to get out with my groundhog (which can find gold) and do some nugget hunting.

 

[jfeeney]

He found it at 60 cm or almost 2 feet! Any idea what he was using as his detector? Just curious.

 

[JimDon]

Most likely a Minelab GPX.

 

[kuger]

Most likely a Minelab GPX.

yep,$6,000 machine

 

[hamiddetecting]

Great finds!!!

 

[lucky2base]

Everyone that knows I md at work brought this story to me, makes my heart race and inspired to get out there to find my special treasure!

 

[HutSiteDigger]

Lot more are found than what is recorded, lot who find gold like this will try and stay below the headlights and not want the public to know. Im sure the guy who found this isn't his first. Man must be nice, must be nice indeed.

 

[blazintowers]

oh baby what a beautiful NUGGET...does that still classify as a nugget? I want one of those!

 

[jewelerguy]

wish I'd find one just like it

 

[The duck]
