geof_junk Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 A few years back someone took an Aus. nugget, I think it was 2 or 4 Oz and tried to sell it as an English nugget that he found there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reg Wilson Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Aureous, I think you worded that rather poorly, as some may get the impression that I tried to pass that nugget off as American. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redz Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 This story has all the highlights of a dime novel. Late to the event, broken detector, there only 5 minutes, only 6 inches down..and in an area never known to have any gold deposits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Seeker Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 From what I've gathered, the area is know for gold...BUT the gold appears to not be native but instead coming from gravel hauled in from Scotland to create a railway track road bed. Whether this nugget originated in Scotland or elsewhere remains to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redz Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 The area is not known for gold. Show me any other nugget at all from there. They hypothesize gravels for the railway, but typically that is crushed rock and mine tailings, not river gravel. And lastly, how many 2 ounce nuggets are there from Wales..next to none Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
