Swegin Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Found in the lower Desert region. I wonder if a dozer was used first. It's a very nice piece for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasong Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Hmm, nice piece. That doesn't look like Arizona/California desert gold to me though. Mexico? Edit - http://www.minelab.com/usa/go-minelabbing/success-stories/gold-nugget-found-in-mexico reverse image searched it, looks like it was posted in November. 1.5 meters? That's 4.9 feet deep...I guess it's published so some fact checking occured, but that sounds a bit unbelievable even with the 19" and that lunker...? Well congrats to the finders either way, nice nugget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bado1 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Wow! Beautiful chunk!! Makes my typical -"eight nuggets for one/ two gram -days" seem very insignificant. Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU_Solitude Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Amazing. I love when finds like this pop up because for me it keeps the dream alive. Talk about great publicity for Minelab as well! That should fetch a tidy sum should he choose to sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norvic Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Lovely gold. for me that size and that depth doesn`t sound out of reach of the Z. It is early days for the Z it has only been out and about for not quiet 2 years, now with the 19 the more I use it the more I realise ZVT requires a different approach then the PIs to achieve its full potential.

It's a very nice piece for sure. The thread says they are thinking of getting a dozer so no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 This is the odd part. Rob says guy shares photo with him, wants it posted nowhere else so Rob watermarks photo. Now turns out photo given to Minelab back in November, sharing everywhere not an issue. I would never question Rob's honesty but I am not quite so sure now about what he has been told.
