Metal Detecting Blog from Big Boys Hobbies

It's becoming a trend these days, this is the 2nd monster nugget we've reported on in almost as many months! This time from a metal detecting prospector and enthusiast from Ballarat in Victoria, AU.

Mr Day found the nugget after digging a small signal which turned out to be a bullet casing on an old farm pastureland. After digging the .22 bullet, the detector continued to give signal so he kept digging and unearthed the fist-sized monster about a meter deep.

Collectors from all over the world are already contacting Mr Day to purchase his find, gold nuggets this size are incredibly rare and hold much more value than their weight in gold to some collectors willing to pay a premium for a specimen this big.

Mr day proceeded to buy an even higher end metal detector shortly after

The massive gold nugget was found by a hobbyist in then western Australia region known for its large gold fields and masses of unexplored outback and desert. Although the nugget was found almost a month ago now, only last week was it reported, with a value of close to $70,000 USD, we're not surprised the treasure hunter wanted to keep it a secret!

It's not unusual for detectorists to find small gold deposits all over this region, but finds like this are rare and only happen a few times a year.

the find was reported initially by finders keepers gold prospecting, the detectorist was using a Minelab GPX with the 17x11 Coiltek Elite.
