Wow! A true Woo!HOO! Moment! That kind of find is why we walk fields in the rain an dry stream beds when it's 114° in the shade. Kudos guys you earned it!
looks like during the volcanic activity sometime ago caused it to burp up large amounts of molten gold in the area, and buried over time. good job on the great find !!
That’s so cool! I had some friends that were diving for gold under some falls! They were going to the spot to make their dive! On the trail, one of the guys foot slipped on a mossy rock! The sunlight hit the the and it glinted gold! They dug it out and it was a huge piece of quarts and gold! Not sure of the weight, but an awesome find none the less!
SO far have only found an old pocket watch with the case intact , a old flat iron and a handful of coins, oh and plenty of rubbish stuff. Seeing this nugget has inspired me even more, congrats on a wonderful find.
Had a truck ride with a professional mineralogist, just back from a survey, who told me that The Grampian Mountains still have gold nuggets laying around just under the surface. Get a proper legal prospector's licence from the local shire council office before going out. Take survival kits and do watch out for poisonous snakes and do no harm to the National Forest Park.
Well there's not doubt about this find ... totally genuine ... so pleased for you guys well done ... I bet you have the blisters on your hands to prove it😊 Hope you find its brother or sister hiding near by ... keep digging ... good luck.
though I had some problem with sea water It also ruclips.net/user/postUgkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrHgJH land for finding any things very easily. (thought it would work as normal due to it being water proof within certain parts of the detector), on dry land and sand worked well. My first one, so still have lots to learn
Even with a nugget that size, there wasn't a really obvious signal due to the depth it was at. The coil was giving some false sounds around the hole at surface level. Well done for being confident there was something there.
Yeah bro, that's a nugget!! And no one would dare say it wasn't in the ground after seeing you dig it up. And the ground looked hard too.. Well done boys.. thanks for sharing the video. I loved it.
That's a great nugget guys. It shows how sometimes the signal is quite weak considering the size of the nugget and the depth that 19" NF should have had the detector screaming but it seemed like just a faint signal.
@@stevestaff5240 Yep. running a big coil, always dig faint signals. Sensitivity setting on a big coil is VITAL. Too high, nothing but EMI. too low - missed depth.
Suspense building.... They HAD to supply that footage to prove they did not plant the nugget. Very cool! I’ve always dreamed of finding buried treasure! I’d settle for THAT any day!
over the years, flooding due to rare heavy rain moves this clay like material and covers the nugget. Over millennia this is repeated and more and more overburden is added. Heat bakes into an almost brick like material. Nugget this size would not be moved very far by water, so it's source lode might well be 'upstream' from it's location. Upstream here would refer to the direction of flow of an archaic stream which carried it from the lode. So I think rather then it slowly submerging into the ground because of it's relative density, it was covered by alluvial mud. tom
@@mrmurmur The only way gold comes "up" is if wind erosion removes overburden (often seen in arid areas). When a placer deposit is originally formed gold migrates down to bedrock or to an impervious layer like clay.
That ground is hard! Exactly like my backyard here in California. I used a giant hammer drill to make some holes for a fence. And the big steel bar like you used. Quite a workout. Wish I had a helper. LOL
Amazing to recover 19 ounces of gold, with so little ground disturbance. Landscape intact. One little hole in the right spot, you got a small fortune. good work boys
Worried about minimal ground disturbance is the stupidest thing I've ever hear of. In the 1940s they bombed the woods out here. The army did training and bombed the crap put of the woods. We still find crazy bunkers and stuff. It's all green. The birds chirp. Worms do worm stuff. The sun comes up everyday. So quit acting like alme idiot millenials amd worrying about stupid shit. Like every action on this planet MUST BE TO SAVE IT FROM US. Screw off
Thats how I knew this was real, he had to pick it out of the ground was so hard. Even machine compacted dirt isn't that hard to dig in. Love seeing the real stuff
Well done lads, all the way from sunny Scotland (North East) that was a serious amount of digging, thank goodness it was a nugget and as for the size, WOW, good on ya lads, you deserved it.
What a skonker, I don't know what that means I just made it up but it sounds Austrailian. Good job guys! It looks like we dig here in Arizona with caliche.
Congtrats fellows this is the find I have been waiting for.I'm very happy for you as if I found it.The 6 dislikers are definitely the jealous ones.You got a new subscriber.

@@acha5667 For gullible people to watch and awe at it. Are you really not wondering about the obvious spot, the way the ground looks and the small hole that IS ALREADY THERE?

As an Aussie, I just love the whispered "Fuck Me" when they finally found the nugget and got their hands on it and are feeling the weight.
Im Canadian and also love it

Yeah so can they. This is so phony
you would be excited to find any nugget at all

Its a pretty big signal to be honest. Im surprised the gpx was so shit at finding it.

Well done boys.. thanks for sharing the video. I loved it.
I see Matthew seed in the comments above yours actually causes them of it being fake so yea
I'm glad you guys got it and not those big companies that are out there with big machines
16:45 you couldn't have a more Australian reaction to finding gold 😂
its everywhere here, literally
Yes and it was what came out of my friends mouth when she saw it too after i paused the video hahahaha🤣
Hollow sounding when you strike with the pick. Definitly worth the effort
Nice pick , well handled. Swung like a pro! Good onya, mate! If it was easy everbody’d be after it!
it is not hard work if you know what you are getting. What did it take maybe 1/2 to an hour? Just saying, pretty big payday.
Start at 14:30
Lord have mercy !!! What a nugget!!

What a find , good one boys . Thanks for sharing your story.
Very nice 🍺
You could tell it was going to be something good going by how cemented the ground was.
Unbelievably a beautiful looking nugget. 19 ounces at 2068. Dollars per oz today. 40,000 dollar nugget. Wow wow wow. Nice find.
And probably more for the novelty of a nugget - too good to melt
do you scan the hole again and the stuff you dug out in case something is hiding besides the big one?
That's some nice picking. You'd give a badger a run for his money.
I'm flabbergasted,what a prize.Congrats fellas.
It’s got to be nicknamed the KFC nugget 😂 looks like a crispy chicken wing! So happy for you lads after digging that mammoth hole that it was gold.

Imagine all the people that have walked over giant nuggets of gold not realizing it's right under their feet..
There are doubts as to whether this golden nugget looks more like a map of Africa or a human heart.
There is no comparison, Wall Daher Mason. We are very sorry. 17:00
Wall Daher Mason has a gold nugget, but it is very small, much smaller than the one shown in the video.
With every swing of that pic I keep hearing the whispers of ‘I’m here, come and find me’ ! 😘

No one can say this was staged....dedication and perseverance
