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!
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!!🤣
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!
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.
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 th-cam.com/users/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
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 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.
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
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.
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.

@@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.

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 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

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.

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!

@@johnvanegmond1812 When I put my deposit on a Yamaha Tenere 700 in February 2020 I was dreaming of learning it well and hopefully taking it to Australia and circumnavigating the whole continent . I would have tried some gold detecting legally and respectfully if I could . Later found out that it would be difficult to take an American model motorcycle to Australia because of bs emissions and such . So if this dream is to ever happen it would most likely be on a rental . Hope they have another season of Aussie Gold Hunters someday , so cool seeing them score nuggets just an inch or so from the surface !
@@hardworkingamerican8847 That sounds awesome. Nice bike! Do the ride or something like it. In Iowa, for a kid (age 14+)to get a moped license, they have to take a 4 hour class. The instructor for all four of my kids was Jerry Smith. In 1975 he rode a Honda 250 diagonally across Africa. He wrote a book "Into the Heart of Africa". The book is written just like he talks.
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!
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,,,,,,,😎
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.
It was definitely worth the wait but at 12 minutes in I was starting to wonder if you were building a post and beam Barn when I saw that spudbar get broke out lol 🤣
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.
When you dig a find you dig a pit and then check the hole and the pile so you know if you’re done digging yet. They just didn’t start filming until the point where it’s possible they had uncovered it. This is normal practice that stops you from digging an unnecessarily deep hole
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.
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.

Yes digging and searching for nuggets in 118°F hard pack seems to me a great way to spend the day week and year for that matter . God bless it !
@@hardworkingamerican8847 They are a tougher bunch than me! It's such a shame how the rights of the people went right down the toilet since 1996.

When I put my deposit on a Yamaha Tenere 700 in February 2020 I was dreaming of learning it well and hopefully taking it to Australia and circumnavigating the whole continent . I would have tried some gold detecting legally and respectfully if I could .
Later found out that it would be difficult to take an American model motorcycle to Australia because of bs emissions and such . So if this dream is to ever happen it would most likely be on a rental .
Hope they have another season of Aussie Gold Hunters someday , so cool seeing them score nuggets just an inch or so from the surface !
@@hardworkingamerican8847 That sounds awesome. Nice bike! Do the ride or something like it. In Iowa, for a kid (age 14+)to get a moped license, they have to take a 4 hour class. The instructor for all four of my kids was Jerry Smith. In 1975 he rode a Honda 250 diagonally across Africa. He wrote a book "Into the Heart of Africa". The book is written just like he talks.
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!
Thanks mate!
Yeah it’s pretty obvious to anyone who has swung a big coil and dug some holes. Good job fellas, got to love it hey
Finally it doesn't matter, we were entertained with one or other method :)
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,,,,,,,😎
Wow! He nearly poked my eye out with that pickax.
Start at 14:30
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.
Thanks Mehmet!
Absolutely jealous wanks!!,,did you guys check for more,,,,such as a vein??😎
Shape of Tassie.
Congratulations, fantastic result.
Now that is what I call a "nice size nugget" - well done fellas
19oz of gold at the price today is approx $42,000 CAD Nice haul!
The coffee nugget! LOL. Well done, guys.
What state was your find guys?
the shape of the nugget reminds me of a shark tooth. very nice find.
Yes, a somewhat decayed shark tooth from a very large shark.
ITS THE ARROWHEAD NUGGET 😎
Well done guys this is exactly the kind of gold prospecting I want to do
It’s fake
@@TNoStone wheres your evidence? Lol you seem bitter
It was definitely worth the wait but at 12 minutes in I was starting to wonder if you were building a post and beam Barn when I saw that spudbar get broke out lol 🤣
WOW!!!!!! I'll be damned that thing looks just like Tasmania!
Every seen a woman with a hairy.......😆
My mining partner,Gene Rommily found a 14.6 oz. nugget above Galice,Oregon. I was lucky enough to hold and fondell it
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
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.
Anyone else notice the hole was outlined already like it was buried
I noticed that my self...exactly how round
he found it prior and then decided to video it
@@wayno-ms1gmhow when the ground as you can see is hard as concrete
@@James-ce6ic eva heard of a metal detector
When you dig a find you dig a pit and then check the hole and the pile so you know if you’re done digging yet. They just didn’t start filming until the point where it’s possible they had uncovered it. This is normal practice that stops you from digging an unnecessarily deep hole
“That’s a fucken nugget.”
That’s what she said.
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.
Gold is weighed in Troy ounce which is 31.1 grams. That makes 595g = 19.1 Troy ounces.
@@petesabout Correct well done
I've made $5000 off this video and the can of paint cost $5. Thanks TH-cam.
Nice find. Hard work paid off. You have to be in great condition
that spot was already dug up at the beginning of the video.
they watered it to harden lol
I think they started to clear it before starting to record. Seems real to me

The ground was hard digging so how can he put it in there
@@cybertrkwater would make the ground soft that's hard ground
Strange how seeing gold gives everyone that very criminal sounding “hehehe”
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.
You fellas put in the work, this is the result. Well done !
It's worth more being sold on eBay as a collector's item.
EBAY, WHERE I BUY GOLD IF I DO. Yeah, my God don't melt it down. Things a damn antique. 😆
OUTSTANDING FIND MEN. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK, and good luck.
