We were shown this nugget by a guy the other day.  Found near Ballarat.  Weight value $28-30K

The Golden triangle will be my first serious gold prospecting location later this year.

Lots of researching being done right now.

I have all the info and maps i need, and i used to live in the Wombat State Forrest not far from Ballarat at Greendale.

Maybe top up the retirement fund with a few nuggerts of my own.

Do you have the exact location by any chance...? :)

Very nice! That price indicates it's about 14oz, a great find indeed.

Hi Mike, All I can say is that it was south of Sabastopol at a depth of about 3 feet, so it wasn't found with a detector, but was mined.
