137 Ounces of Newly Found Australian Gold


Recommended Posts

A 65 ounce gold nugget and 72 ounce gold specimen were recently found near Bendigo, Australia by a prospector with a metal detector. I particularly like the 72 ounce specimen, a fine piece with a nice contrast between quartz and thick gold seams. Great story and more photos at http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2801160/return-gold-rush-young-dad-strikes-gold-finding-two-large-nuggets-worth-two-thousand-dollars.html

 

The photos in the article are clearly meant to be shared so here are a couple of them.
