My first gold nugget
« on: January 23, 2012, 21:53 »
Just thought I'd share this pic of my first gold nugget I found a couple of months ago near Mudgee.
It weighed in at 4.2 grams.

    Nice, now you just have to go back there and find the rest of it's family to reunite them, hopefully it was the baby and comes from a big family of very obese nuggets.
