LB Gold

Some of the largest nuggets I see come from Australia. It's like you can find descent surface nuggets just about everywhere. In the past some exceptionally large nuggets weighing pounds have been found. Is the main source to all these giant nuggets been located? Is the motherlode veins/reef of pure Gold just below the surface?

Like the Giant nugget called Welcome Stranger found in the Victoria area. Was the reef ever located, where that nugget might have originated from? Or this other Austrailian 600 pound nugget. Is the source still out there?

That nugget was taken from the deep reef mines near Bathurst. It's actually a faked picture also: the nugget was taken at one time and the man another, when henposed with his arm up then they were added together.

Hi all. No not really freeman. That nugget shown is theHoltermann Nugget. Which although isnt a solid nugget is accually a speciman rock broken from a deep vein still being worked in the town of Hillend. Now although its called Holtermann nugget. He in fact did not find it. He was the head of a mining syndicate and group of mines working in the area.

Large nuggets like the Welcome stranger, and Hand of faith were located in Alluvial deposits. Just curious, was Austrailia glacerized to create alluvial deposits? Is the reef that held this big Gold, straight down, or was it carried in from a not yet located mother load?

Dowser. If you go to YouTube find Geology Films then look at Islands of Gold in an Ocean Land - The Macquarie Arc.
It will explain how most of the gold deposits were formed on Australia's east coast.

The Boot of Cortez, was found in Mexico, just 80-miles south of the Arizona border. You just never know!
