Aureous Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 1 hour ago, Reg Wilson said: Unusual for something like this to be be found east of Ballarat as most of that country is volcanic and covered by extensive basalt flows. There are several gold fields east of Ballarat, but they are not noted for big gold. 100% correct Reg, I was thinking Elaine or Gordon as the possible locales but now a certain well-known Ballarat identity has 'confirmed' that it was near Linton, so the original 'source' via the local Minelab dealer confused East and West lol.

TTT2866 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 And I thought my 12 gram bit with the Nox was good.. 😞  This nugget was purchased by our very own Darren at Lucky Strike in Geelong. Despite speculation, the gentleman who sold it did not disclose where it was found. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geof_junk Posted March 30, 2023 Author Share Posted March 30, 2023 That is about the same size as my single largest gold specimen find, but I only got 16+ oz gold. I suspect his detector was better (Is the right Gerry) . No it not, there is more contaminates of GOLD in his, lucky bugger. If I add the extra weight of gold ( it showed a lot more when broken up) it looks about right for the volume. How could you sell mine for it true value without smashing it up and melting it.    5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reg Wilson Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 TTTÂ Looks like phrunt has lost his crown for the 'king of detector collectors'. Sorry, but I can't help but ask; why on earth do you need so many detectors? Are you opening a detector museum? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, Step back Reg, it's guys like Simon who keep dealers in business. You know the saying.. The man who dies with the most detectors, his dealer wins....😆 2 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
