This 1 118 gram gold nugget was found 30cms deep in red iron stone rubble. The nugget is impregnated with very small quartz fragments as can be seen in the photo. The edges of the nugget are rounded off and smooth. It was nestling next to a large granite boulder in relatively flat ground with no hills in the close vicinity. The area has produced one other large nugget and many smaller ones ranging from 450g down to 3g. The area of the find had been extensively searched over by at least 6 other metal detectorists. The nugget was found using a GPX-4500 fitted with a mono commander 12” x 15” elliptical coil.
