Irish, the biggest nugget I have found, before last christmas, was a 153 grams, just below five ounces, it's an ugly nugget but I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The nugget in the pic above weighs 12.5 grams. I am going to fly to Perth, to the mint in the very near future to cash in some gold, about 30 ounces. I will take a pic and post it next time I visit the bank. And Norm!! It takes a bit of chewing to mold the shape correctly, a special technique is used and then it is refrigerated to harden, lol. I will have to send you a little peice of Australia. We are so fortunate to have such a beautiful country. Regards Kim (in reply to Maine Digger) Post #: 5

That's awesome,Certainly a dream to many diggers.Can you feel the envy through your monitor?keep diginit. Hello to botldgr2001,I'd like to give you coordinates to a dig,but,these are secrets shared between close friends and associates.If you can find some historical maps of your area,this helps.Also,look for old roads a see where they take you. look for debris. Remember,digging can be dangerous. You're in a secluded area looking for treasure.Claims have been jumped.Watershed lands have armed guards,And some people don't like trespassers.Some BLM land might work for you.But please restore the land desecrated.Nobody likes tripping in an exploratory hole.Good Hunting and "Break a leg" Attachment (1) < Message edited by diginit -- 4/12/2004 9:03:08 PM > (in reply to Kim) Post #: 8
