Great article and glad I had the opportunity to read it, so thank you for posting it.

I liked the quotes below, should I look for the specimen or the 1 ton coin on my next trip.😕

While spectacular in nature, none have come close to replicating the Father's Day Vein, which produced more than 27,000 ounces from an area the size of a lounge room. 

King Henry adds to the 122-year-old mint's existing collection of rare gold specimens and its famous Australian Kangaroo One Tonne Gold Coin, estimated to be worth more than $60 million.

Imagine rolling that specimen back to the group campfire.....”boys, I decided to investigate that ground noise after all”.........

I think I will go take a look this weekend......Mission Impossible style 😎
