Sorry, I should have done better research rather than instantly get angry.  It's because NZ keeps getting left off World maps, and when I thought we were left off the Coke Cola list of countries I saw RED.

 

 Off topic maybe, maybe not, it is quite amusing to see a lot of people trying to workout where that nugget came from, what is everyone going to do start a rush. Kiwi's have a great sense of humor, I've seen that guy on a comedy series here in Aus. but can't place him. You could bunch Aussie, Kiwi and Pommie humor together, can't separate them. Sorry but the Yanks aren't in the same class. Having said that, as individual comedians the Yanks win hands down. Funny that he's blaming Australia, we just haven't been forgiven for that underarm incident. I get it we have the same problem of being left off the map here in Tasmania. Will the last person to leave New Zealand please turn off the lights.

These Specimens were from an area of 10 by 10 mile and shows some differences.

    This is a cleaned specimen my favourite. It contains wolfram (Tungsten) and the Weight of gold is only in the grams range.

As can be seen there is many types of specimen.

 

 

 

Wow, that Wofram/gold specimen would certainly be a favourite specie, just wondering if it`s no imposition, is it from Victoria?

It might give away one of my spots, but here goes. I was in the area near a Wolfram mine within a 100 km from Leonora West Aust. Note if anyone find the spot I don't want to know how much gold I left behind.  ?

This is some more nuggets a guy I know found in Venezuela, South America, he found them in December.  It goes to show there is some big stuff down that way.

 

That is some amazing gold. I was starting to post about how there is no way I would fly into that country and swing a $6000 machine around, then my mind started to devise a plan on how I could do it. 
Let’s just say, Simon, if your friend will host us and is well armed, I will bring night vision goggles and tell my wife I am Mexico on a guys trip.

Gold detecting seems very popular there, a guy imports and resells X-coils to the locals there and makes their adapters for them, it's become quite a big market and with gold like that I'm not surprised, for some reason he almost always goes for the 17x12" size, must suit their ground and gold type.  He never mentions it being dangerous but I guess it could well be especially for foreigners I suppose.
