Don’t forget your plane ticket and passport, Flak. ? What an incredible find; I wonder what it ID'd on the EQX. 2 2 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/22238-victoria-large-nugget-find/#findComment-238358 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrunt Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 wow, a $240,000 nugget found with a Nox 800.... lucky person there. It seems they really never do get them all, I wonder how many dismissed that target as a giant piece of junk over the years for a guy to wander along and find it with his Nox. 4 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/22238-victoria-large-nugget-find/#findComment-238370 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gosh you never know, it might even have been that no-one ever dismissed it as junk because no-one ever walked over it before, and instead of wandering, maybe it was a guy, really plugged into his Nox, who found it with skill and persistence. Maybe…haha 4 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/22238-victoria-large-nugget-find/#findComment-238375 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterInSa Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Re ( I wonder how many dismissed that target as a giant piece of junk over the years for a guy to wander along and find it with his Nox.) and I wonder how many loud pieces of junk that were actually Gold, that I have walked over in the last 40+ years detecting the Vic Golden Triangle. Years ago a friend and self were detecting on a farmers paddock, the site of an old mining town in the GT, he detected/dug up 188 Chinese coins in a 3ft x 3ft area, to others it must have sound like a sheet of rusty iron, he picked up a stray on the outskirts and went from there. 2 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/22238-victoria-large-nugget-find/#findComment-238395 Share on other sites More sharing options...

geof_junk Posted March 28, 2023 Author Share Posted March 28, 2023 "It weighs 4.6 kilograms and that includes 2.6 kilograms of gold." It must of been riddled with gold. My 3½ Kilos bit only had 16+ oz and it was 3.5 kilos and he got nearly 84 oz ? It remines me of the early days when big nuggets were released to the media near public holidays (School, Easter and Xmas or New detector release.) those were the days. 3 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/22238-victoria-large-nugget-find/#findComment-238425 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry in Idaho Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Man what a monster of a nugget and the Equinox 800 did the trick. 80+ ozt at $2000US = $160,000 just in gold US Dollars. Collectors value could go half a million if a couple folks get excited. Good on him and his family. Thanks for sharing.
