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!

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.
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.
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

Yeah nice nugget. But in the same amount of time it took you to dig it out, ive seen 3 different Cambodians on TH-cam build an underground house with a swimming pool and water slides. Lol!!🤣
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!
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.

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!
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
I call bullchit on that one... they are too calm for such a find. besides nuggets of this size mean there are others near by... at the very least a gold rich area and any large mining firm would have quickly bought up the rights and started large scale operations.
@@renaissanceman5847 It is estimated that as much as 75 million ounces of gold remain in Victoria, in meaty nuggets buried deep in the ground or alluvial fragments drifting in streams and rivers. The world-class central Victoria gold province has produced >2,500 tonnes of gold.
@@renaissanceman5847 To prospect for gold in Victoria, a current fossicking permit (known as a miner's right) is needed. This costs 25.20 dollars (£14) from the Victorian Government's Earth Resources and is valid for ten years. The Central Goldfields Visitor Information Centre in Maryborough has maps and brochures of the region.
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.
I must admit that I was sceptical about the video title and thought it might be clickbait, but there is no way you can fake tough ground like that. Good job!
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.
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.
Because the signal was so faint at first, that they werent even sure they had a target, so they didnt start recording until they had dug a few inches and the signal became a bit clearer. The rest of the dig was into solid, natural, undug soil. Anyone who thinks this was planted is an idiot.
So excited for you guys watching this, lucky the detector picked it up especially how deep it was, do you remember what settings you had it on. It speaks volumes for the Minelab GPX 5000 with the 19" Evolution Coil combination for that type of country. Sorry but were the scales out or something, my maths works it out to be 20.988 ounces if that Nugget weighted 595 grams.
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
About a $51370 AUD nugget in today's money, just in gold weight, but a nugget like this won't be melted down and is worth more. Say 10-30% over spot for just gold. $56500 - $66780 etc. depending on who wants it.
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.
That was a beautiful nugget. Your hard digging paid off. You both have to be in good shape. Wow 19 x 1740.00 is a 30,000 dollar plus nugget. Congratulations

thats an awesome nugget, worth at least 40,000 bucks thats some folks yearly salary in 17 minutes of work, what a rush like winning the lottery best video for sure
The ground over in Australia is a lot like what we have in Texas , Our good old Colicchie. Colicchie is like digging into concrete and we have it all over our state.
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.
Are you crazy? They started filming after they had dug in a bit. Once you see its deep then its serious. Plus no way they could have faked the 2-3ft of hard packed dirt and rocks they dug through to get it.
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
That's the first rule of gold mining,,with others,,,and why old prospectors, usually worked alone,,,,, GOD made man,,,,Smith and Wesson made him equal,,,,,,,😎
I hope you didn’t stop checking all around that hole, seems like every channel looking for gold never has any footage of checking to see if there is still a signal
No need in checking around when you planted it there months ago. Come on, do you know any metal detectorist that would not be checking the hole on every other pick swing? That was a really really deep hole, not to many detectors would pick up that deep with a strong signal like they had at the beginning.
You all that know and understand. Can some one briefly explain 1 - why would a nugget be there all by itself ? 2- if you found something like that wouldn’t you assume there has to be more ? And wouldn’t there be ? I mean can golf just form in one spot one nugget and that’s it or where there is one there is more ? Thanks
Cause that kind of nug was probably washed down from a lode upstream in a torrential current long ago!!,,,,then it sunk to the bottom of the muck,,,,because of the specific gravity of gold,combined with the hydraulic, liquid state of muck,,and flowing current action,,,,working the nug deeper,,,,finally hitting bedrock,,,,then the river dried up,,,and the sun baked the riverbed to the hard pan you see the men digging in,,,,and theres your nug!!,,this form of gold mining is called highbanking,,,or drybanking,,,Commonly done all over the world,,where gold is found,,,,its basically digging for gold in dried up ancient riverbeds,,,as opposed to panning or sluicing,, in a live creek, or river with flowing water,,,AUTHENTIC!!!and you are right,,That nug, seems to have been carried from a lode upstream,,,typically,,,,it would be wise to check upstream of the dry riverbed,,,in front of boulders,,,opposite of the current,,,on inside bends,,,as these are natural gold traps,,,,theres probably more upstream,,,,as it seems that nug wasn't from a vein at the digsite,,,,as far as I can assess,,I'm sure these men know this ,,,,hope this helps,,,!!😎!😎
Congrats guys that's truly amazing. It's nice to know that our great great great grandparents never got all the good nuggets out of the earth lol.. the river behind my house has alot of gold sitting in it. Back in 1799 a 20 pound solid gold nugget was found then around 1805 another monster nugget was found in the same river / creek that was around 30 pounds not ozs but in pounds... All here in The USA in NC 45 mins from my house. I live in Western NC in Madison county NC. And the river behind my house has been roaring through these mountains for millions of years and it holds alot of Gold and Silver iv found decent amount of Gold in it. The largest was 3 ozs then many small ones I find em daily and a ton of silver ore comes off the mountain into the river I got buckets of silver ore and Gold ore. I hope to find a monster nugget one day n I'm sure it will happen in due time when it's ready to be found I gotta lot of mountain and river to cover and a Silver mine on our property iv gotta work on and a Gold mine that's also on the property but still hidden so mostly tracking it lol but when I find it I'll post a video on my TH-cam account this is my fiancees account my S20+ is dead ATM so I'm using my fiancees note 10+ to look up some things to help me out
there was a mine in that part of the country way back in the day. The gold was so thick they had to use a sledge and pick to get it out. It produced a million dollars a week, and lasted for 20 years! I forget the size of the pocket it came out of but is was one huge cavity. I wish I could give you the name but I dont remember.
I met a man that found nuggets in his yard about 15 or 20 of em. Smallest was si,ze of my pinkie finger. He had a minelab and said they were all 2feet deep and encrusted in clay. This is the truth, only mineral goes that deep.
you can make more money with a good click bait titled video on gold than you can finding it ... some have millions and millions of views - that translates to well over 100k per year in income
Wonderful find! But I don't understand how a heavy nugget like that was suspended in mud and not sitting on bedrock. I know the mud eventually dried, but looking at how smooth its edges are and all the carrier minerals have eroded away (I presume quartz), I simply don't understand why it didn't settle to bedrock as it was being tumbled in a stream to arrive at this spot. Any ideas?
I'll answer that question for you! Because they didn't really find it! People don't just wonder around with a metal detector and find a gigantic nugget like that and also act like they just found $5 in the back pocket of some old jeans. Plus a nugget that size would be more like 40 ounces
Nice Work guys!!! I dig all the faint one's myself, if you don't you're just gonna miss them. One day one of those faint one's is gonna turn into something substantial. Thanks for posting the video. Good luck in the future.
That's a wonderful find. Good job on not hitting it with the pickaxe too. I would like to think you rechecked the hole with your metal detector. Maybe the big brother is just below it. You never know until you check.
There is a gas powered unit called A Poinjar , jackhammer with a shovel attachment that is perfect for excavating Compacted soil. I used one before to dig pins for surveying, it would make digging so much easier you would probably thank me for telling you about it

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
My mining partner,Gene Rommily found a 14.6 oz. nugget above Galice,Oregon. I was lucky enough to hold and fondell it
What possessed you to start filming? Just the large signal?
I just thought it was kinda weird the video starts and the hole is already half dug
Yep the signal, we dug down until the signal got stronger and thought it might be something and then started filming
@@goldquest1368 that's awesome man, I hope I find a big boy like this some day
Good luck mate
The size of that coil is crazy
Awesome find fellas
Congratulations
Apparently 1 of the blokes had to dig even more to bury the other 2 blokes.
They say 3 people can keep a secret..... as long as two of them are dead.
That's the first rule of gold mining,,with others,,,and why old prospectors, usually worked alone,,,,, GOD made man,,,,Smith and Wesson made him equal,,,,,,,😎
Who else noticed how much the ground was distributed and tempered with before he started digging ?
Nm. This one looks legit.
I hope you didn’t stop checking all around that hole, seems like every channel looking for gold never has any footage of checking to see if there is still a signal
Great minds think alike.
That would explain why there's still gold to find in well worked areas - people get one nugget and then leave
that was the one uploaded. Paleochannel boat anchors don't sit alone, doesn't mean wasn't another caprock divot 100m along with multi kilo load
I noticed how he was tilting the metal detector diagonal. It seemed like there was more than one target.
No need in checking around when you planted it there months ago. Come on, do you know any metal detectorist that would not be checking the hole on every other pick swing? That was a really really deep hole, not to many detectors would pick up that deep with a strong signal like they had at the beginning.
Who writes your scripts?
Very nice 🍺
You could tell it was going to be something good going by how cemented the ground was.
You all that know and understand. Can some one briefly explain 1 - why would a nugget be there all by itself ? 2- if you found something like that wouldn’t you assume there has to be more ? And wouldn’t there be ? I mean can golf just form in one spot one nugget and that’s it or where there is one there is more ? Thanks
Cause that kind of nug was probably washed down from a lode upstream in a torrential current long ago!!,,,,then it sunk to the bottom of the muck,,,,because of the specific gravity of gold,combined with the hydraulic, liquid state of muck,,and flowing current action,,,,working the nug deeper,,,,finally hitting bedrock,,,,then the river dried up,,,and the sun baked the riverbed to the hard pan you see the men digging in,,,,and theres your nug!!,,this form of gold mining is called highbanking,,,or drybanking,,,Commonly done all over the world,,where gold is found,,,,its basically digging for gold in dried up ancient riverbeds,,,as opposed to panning or sluicing,, in a live creek, or river with flowing water,,,AUTHENTIC!!!and you are right,,That nug, seems to have been carried from a lode upstream,,,typically,,,,it would be wise to check upstream of the dry riverbed,,,in front of boulders,,,opposite of the current,,,on inside bends,,,as these are natural gold traps,,,,theres probably more upstream,,,,as it seems that nug wasn't from a vein at the digsite,,,,as far as I can assess,,I'm sure these men know this ,,,,hope this helps,,,!!😎!😎
Congrats guys that's truly amazing. It's nice to know that our great great great grandparents never got all the good nuggets out of the earth lol.. the river behind my house has alot of gold sitting in it. Back in 1799 a 20 pound solid gold nugget was found then around 1805 another monster nugget was found in the same river / creek that was around 30 pounds not ozs but in pounds... All here in The USA in NC 45 mins from my house. I live in Western NC in Madison county NC. And the river behind my house has been roaring through these mountains for millions of years and it holds alot of Gold and Silver iv found decent amount of Gold in it. The largest was 3 ozs then many small ones I find em daily and a ton of silver ore comes off the mountain into the river I got buckets of silver ore and Gold ore. I hope to find a monster nugget one day n I'm sure it will happen in due time when it's ready to be found I gotta lot of mountain and river to cover and a Silver mine on our property iv gotta work on and a Gold mine that's also on the property but still hidden so mostly tracking it lol but when I find it I'll post a video on my TH-cam account this is my fiancees account my S20+ is dead ATM so I'm using my fiancees note 10+ to look up some things to help me out
I want to pan your river lol
1800 dollars an oz today. What happened to your 19 oz nugget. Did yo sell it
@@dennisjamieson3328 1,933
there was a mine in that part of the country way back in the day. The gold was so thick they had to use a sledge and pick to get it out. It produced a million dollars a week, and lasted for 20 years! I forget the size of the pocket it came out of but is was one huge cavity. I wish I could give you the name but I dont remember.
Any luck ?
You're putting a lot of faith in Minelab's iron discrimination system to dig a hole that deep, in ground that hard...
And it PAID off too! Gotta keep the faith!
I met a man that found nuggets in his yard about 15 or 20 of em. Smallest was si,ze of my pinkie finger. He had a minelab and said they were all 2feet deep and encrusted in clay. This is the truth, only mineral goes that deep.
you aussies get the BEST gold....looks like a golden megalodon tooth
Nice work that was fun to watch!! I could tell it wasnt a Canadian video......we would have poured our beer on it:)
Damn they sure went thru a lot of trouble compacting that ground just to plant that nugget........ Can you tell I am jealous?
It looked dug out already. Just poor some water on and let it set again
Exactly my thought too
Nobody digs like that, unless they know whats down there. what the heck maybe I'm jealous to but I'm still going with click bait.
Done a lot of dirt work and I know what I see ...You are correct .
you can make more money with a good click bait titled video on gold than you can finding it ... some have millions and millions of views - that translates to well over 100k per year in income
Wonderful find! But I don't understand how a heavy nugget like that was suspended in mud and not sitting on bedrock. I know the mud eventually dried, but looking at how smooth its edges are and all the carrier minerals have eroded away (I presume quartz), I simply don't understand why it didn't settle to bedrock as it was being tumbled in a stream to arrive at this spot. Any ideas?
Yeah, interesting ... It's easy to underestimate the power of a big rain though ...
I'll answer that question for you! Because they didn't really find it! People don't just wonder around with a metal detector and find a gigantic nugget like that and also act like they just found $5 in the back pocket of some old jeans. Plus a nugget that size would be more like 40 ounces

@@candleproducer I would love to know what you said, but I'm old (76) and don't know how to translate your comment.
That is really a workout digging ground that hard!!! But worth it when it's gold!
That's $35,000 lying in a hole. It waited a long time for the right people to find it.
In Straya mate gold worth around $2700 AUD an ounce so over 50k.
Hans Nagel That’s about the same thing. Currency is not worth the same.
I'm flabbergasted,what a prize.Congrats fellas.
OUTSTANDING FIND MEN. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK, and good luck.
Man that's like digging concrete, but worth it in the end NICE ONE GUYS
Don't forget to give your Government 75%.
What a find , good one boys . Thanks for sharing your story.
The coffee nugget! LOL. Well done, guys.
What state was your find guys?
Nice Work guys!!! I dig all the faint one's myself, if you don't you're just gonna miss them. One day one of those faint one's is gonna turn into something substantial. Thanks for posting the video. Good luck in the future.
Make sure you film it for me to watch 👍🏼
That's a wonderful find. Good job on not hitting it with the pickaxe too. I would like to think you rechecked the hole with your metal detector. Maybe the big brother is just below it. You never know until you check.
That should buy a few happy meals... LOL, LOL
WOW!!!!!! I'll be damned that thing looks just like Tasmania!
Every seen a woman with a hairy.......😆
what a great pick, where did you get it??, well done guys, you were so careful not to damage that nugget, well worth the effort, congrats
The picks are home made, thanks!
@@goldquest1368
well done, do you sell them??
Imagine you finally get down to it, and it’s a rusty sardine tin can. 😳😳🙄
That would be enough to end my prospecting days. 😂😂👍
That Metal detector tells you if its Metal or Gold i guess.. i just read it on their website
www.minelab.com/russia/metal-detectors/gpx-5000
There is a gas powered unit called A Poinjar , jackhammer with a shovel attachment that is perfect for excavating Compacted soil. I used one before to dig pins for surveying, it would make digging so much easier you would probably thank me for telling you about it
Well done
Great to see all that hard work digging to the middle of the earth paid off!
Wishing I could find a beauty like that some day.
